My Sales Grew 3000%. A Month Later, My Business Was Shut Down.

from We Live to Build

"My sales grew 3000%. A month later, my business was shut down." This is the unbelievable founder story of Yuri Cataldo. His multi-million dollar bottled water company, Indigo H2O, was forced to close at its peak of success after a "Cease and Desist" letter from a state agency destroyed it overnight. They believed his startup was a "large international conglomerate" trying to avoid taxes simply because his publicity was so successful. This is a cautionary tale about how government regulation and bad luck can wipe out a thriving business in the blink of an eye.
