Posted by admin on May 19th, 2010 and filed under famous entrepreneurs | 1 Comment »

Okay, so for my business homework assignment i have to give examples of some famous people who have made a business and became successful.
For example; Richard Branson has dyslexia but still manages to become extremely successful worldwide.
Stuff like that, is what i need.

Thank you xxx

James Dyson’s idea was rejected by all the big vacuum cleaner companies. Look his story up. Before that he had a factory making the ‘ballbarrow’ (his invention) and his board of directors ousted him so he lost that completely (the patent was in the name of the company). He has been through lots of things like that.

Ron Hickman who invented the Black and Decker Workmate was a,so rejected by everyone (inc. B&D) "…not a market for this…." they said!!! but they came back once he was manufacturing 14,000 of them per year and selling by mail order!
