Released - 2002 It all began in 1994 with Earth Buddies, little heads that sprout grass hair. Four months, a deal with Kmart, and $400,000 in profit later, young Canadian entrepreneur Anton Rabie and his company, Spin Master, were well on their way to becoming a major power in North America’s toy industry. Filmed over eight years, this program tracks Spin Master’s meteoric rise—and the manufacturing pressures that nearly blew the company apart. Subsequent successes involving other signature product lines—Air Hogs and Flick Trix Finger Bikes, to name two—are also covered, along with the stresses of trade shows and negotiating with top retailers, including Toys R Us.

"To know how healthy your business is you must understand the relationships between its assets, its liabilities, and its income... The time to develop a banking relationship is before you need a loan... If managing your business is a headache, it may be that your receivables aren’t being managed properly; if you’re on top of the receivables and you still have a headache, check your inventory management... Leverage is the heart and soul of business management; too much is deadly, too little, wasteful." These are some of the dynamic maxims offered in this program by Paul C. Clendenning, a widely known and respected banker, who also explains the meaning of finance and liquidity to small business, how to choose a bank, and the nature and purpose of credit and loans.

Produced - 1986 Planning is the difference between wishing and organizing for achievement. In this program, Susan Garber, state director of the Pennsylvania Small Business Development Center at the Wharton School, addresses the issues and techniques of planning, and the critical need for long-range planning. She covers the need to define the nature of the company and its activity, setting goals and determining how to attain them, analyzing markets and sources of financing, and setting a timetable. She distinguishes between short-range and long-range forecasting, explains how—although one never knows what will happen—educated projections can and must be made, and describes how a business plan is to be formulated and used. Most businesses that fail, she points out, fail not from a lack of financial resources but from failure to manage the resources they have—from lack of adequate planning.
