Sometimes a person who has a good business idea isn’t able to translate it into a successful business. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Rohan Gilkes was not the original founder of Wet Shave Club — a monthly box subscription service sending supplies to those men who prefer old-fashioned, traditional shaves. But he saw the potential in the idea, bought out the original owner, and turned his $4,000 investment into $350,000 in revenues in less than a year.
Gilkes shares with us how he and his team of 4 was able to turn someone else’s good idea into a great business in such a short amount of time. (This transcript has been edited for publication. To hear audio of the full interview, click on the audio player at the end of this article.)
