Inventions and ideas unfortunately sometimes stay just that. But Jean Newell decided to turn her ideas into a business and changed her title to "entrepreneur."

Exciting news for one of our GB Members -- Jean Newell will be on a television near you this month. Check out her story here, then learn how you can watch her on an upcoming talk show.

Jean Newell never set out to become an inventor. She simply needed a better way to carry around her stuff. So, fueled by little more than common sense and desire, Jean turned a $20,000 investment into a million-dollar company.

She was a stay-at-home mom who had an idea. A simple, easy way for millions to create beautiful works of art. Seemingly overnight, Donna Dewberry and her One Stroke painting technique became a huge hit on PBS and QVC.
