Big Dreams
When you hear about successful businesses, do you wonder how they succeeded? Many businesses begin with simple people with big dreams, and loads of energy and enthusiasm.
The Subway Restaurants chain was started by a person who needed money to fund his college education. Seventeen-year Fred DeLuca started selling submarine sandwiches for this, supported by a Dr. Buck who encouraged him and gave him start-up money to begin.
The job portal, monster.com, was started when a young man had a dream about a monster idea. He thought about it some more and wrote his ideas down. Its success is history.
