Big Dreams
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.
“He has half the deed done who has made a beginning.” Horace
