Self Sufficiency 1973

So easy to operate, even older folks could easily walk to one side and guide the Troy-Bilt garden tiller with just one hand. Often imitated but never equaled, it brought health and self-sufficiency to over two million families.

Rebuild America
Let's rebuild America. Here, I'm doing my part (this photo was back while working my way through college.) With our current economic recession, costs are lower and it's an ideal time to install solar and other renewable solutions.

Where is the world headed? Will you be part of the past -- or part of the future?

Are you in the green industry? Are you looking for a Chief Marketing Officer-for-hire who can help your team develop new products, find new business partners, and increase your sales?

I was there -- back in 1970’s, developing new products and bringing them to market. It was in the midst of the back-to-the-land movement, the boom in gardening, doing more for yourself, and the two major energy crises. Troy-Bilt rototillers had a cult-like following because of their performance and the company’s over-the-top customer service. Garden Way marketed some of the first energy efficient greenhouse/sunrooms, high-efficiency wood stoves, and started a catalog of self-sufficiency items. And some of my later business development projects included solar-powered products like the photovoltaic robotic lawnmower shown at right.

Now it’s the 21st century, and the rest of the world has finally caught up with the realization that using the sun, the wind, and other green energy sources are the best source for our energy independence.

What’s your vision? What’s your technology? What’s the stage of your organization? If you are in the solar or wind industry, chances are that I have successfully helped companies through the same growth stage you are now entering. If you need expert help to get it to the next level -- to find the best way to market it -- to develop the product and teamwork -- then give me a call. I guarantee you’ll get some good ideas, just from our first chat. -CW

The Path to Solar Success 2009

Here, I'm photographing the Solar Pathfinder tool which shows how much insolation reaches the site of this future ground mount PV array. The more electricity we create from distributed generation, the better for our homes, communities and country.
