Who are the top ten business owners for the past 100 years? While they do may not all have household names, the services and industry changes that they have brought about are.
Behind some of the most powerful and profitable companies is a story an individual who had big dreams, a lot of ambition, and the courage to make their dreams become realities.
For example, we have all no doubt seen a Wal-Mart store. This is a billion dollar business that most everyone in the world is familiar with. But many people do not know that standing behind this giant was a man names Sam Walton who did things his own way and profited in extraordinary ways.
And behind the famous Ford motorcar company is the story of an uneducated man who had more vision, passion, and determination than most others. These are the qualities that allowed Henry Ford to revolutionize the car industry forever, as well as build a $50 billion dollar fortune for himself, as well as providing quality jobs to countless others.
And we all know about Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, the company that revolutionized and completely dominates the software industry. Gates is much more than a brilliant computer geek. He built his business and his fortune because of a strong ambition and some say ruthless competitive business practices.
And how about Warren Buffet, a man that has built a fortune of over $40 Billion dollars that started with $100,000 that he borrowed from willing family and friends, as well as $100 bucks of his own money. This goes to show that when there is a will there is a way.
