Never Lose Hope| Little-Known Facts About Famous Entrepreneurs.

The most successful people are the ones who take big risks, which often means spectacular flameouts. The difference between these successful people and those we never hear about again is that the former kept going.

Below is the snippet of famous entrepreneurs who failed their ways to success over and over again.

Amancio Ortega, Inditex Founding Chairman.
Now one of the wealthiest men in the world, once the richest men in the world for a few hours in October 2015. Amancio Ortega began as a delivery boy for a shirt fabricator. He paid close attention to his job, and moved up the chain until he owned his own textile empire.

Soichiro Honda, Honda Founder
Before founding his automotive company, Soichiro Honda actually applied for an engineer position at Toyota Motor Corporation. He stayed unemployed for a long time before starting his own business.

Harland "Colonel" Sanders, KFC
Another great example of perseverance, Colonel Sanders had trouble getting his famous chicken just right. The secret recipe was rejected over 1,000 times before a restaurant finally added it to the menu.

Akio Morita, Sony Cofounder
Long before he brought you the Walkman, Akio Morita tried to bring the world an automated rice cooker. The product sold less than 100 units, and soon drew ire for burning rice.

H. Macy, Macy's Founder
The next time you think about the phrase "Try and try again," remember H. Macy. The founder of the massively successful department store, Rowland Macy, was a serial entrepreneur. Before becoming successful with Macy’s, however, he failed at seven prior business ventures.

Duncan Bannatyne, Entrepreneur
As a kid, Duncan Bannatyne earned money for a bicycle by drumming up business for the local paper. He knocked doors until 100 people subscribed to the paper, after which the newspaper gave him the delivery job.

Be inspire: remain humble and persistent in your own business pursuits! Recall : In order to achieve greatness, you have to fail greatly.
