Joy Mangano with Some of Her Inventions

Joy Mangano, who transformed herself from a struggling divorcee into an retail superstar, has invented more than 100 products and is now celebrating her 10th anniversary on HSN.  One of her tricks is keeping a pencil and notepad by her bed so that nightime inspiration doesn’t go to waste.  Her career as inventor/pitchwoman began with the Miracle Mop on QVC and went on to include the hangers and other big sellers on HSN.  That network’s executive vice president Bill Brand says that in order to succeed in the business, “you have to have a great product, a great story and a great storyteller.
