Failure to Success

 

Aloha Everybody!!! I'm back!!!


Failure is not a hindrance to success, instead, you can take it as a lesson and be successful out of it. These entrepreneurs are living proof of that. For today's blog let me share their stories, from failure to success.


1. WALT DISNEY

Disney was born in Chicago in 1901 and began his career as an artist at a young age. He enlisted in the Red Cross at the age of 16 and drove an ambulance that he decorated with his own cartoon drawings during World War I. He returned to Kansas City, Missouri, and worked as an advertisement cartoonist. The legendary animator, film producer, and theme park developer had quite a bumpy road to success. Disney was, at one point, living on dog food and unable to pay his rent. His first animation company, Laugh-O-Gram Studio, went bankrupt.  He achieved a breakthrough with the creation of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, only to lose the legal rights to the cartoon rabbit and see most of his fellow animators leave the studio. It was a big setback. However, Disney decided to create another character and start over. Soon after, Disney and Ub Iwerks created Mickey Mouse, who went on to become the most recognizable cartoon character in film history and later served as a cornerstone for the Walt Disney entertainment empire.


2. J.K ROWLING

Joanne Rowling CH OBE FRSL, better known by her pen name J. K. Rowling, is a British author and philanthropist. She wrote Harry Potter, a seven-volume fantasy series published from 1997 to 2007. While writing the first Harry Potter book, J.K. Rowling was a single mother receiving welfare benefits. However, she overcame her situation by not only completing the book, but also finding someone to publish it. The person who selected her book for publication did so because her daughter fell in love with the story. Rowling never forgot her humble origins. When asked why she didn’t establish citizenship in a place where she could find shelter from paying taxes, she responded that she was happy to pay taxes into a system that supported her when she needed it most. Rather than remain discouraged by the dozen rejections she initially received from publishers, Rowling persevered and went on to publish one of the most beloved and successful series in the history of children’s literature.

       Aloha Everybody!!! It's me Shakanniii!!!            J oin me in my journey as an Entrepreneur Student. I'll share with you my everyday experiences as a student, aspiring to be an entrepreneur someday. But before we start on our journey, let me share my brief knowledge of why I choose entrepreneurship as my future career.            It literally started in my childhood days, we had a small business and during those times I usually saw that many people were coming back and forth to buy products and with that, we generated money. I love calculating all of our receipts, especially the sales, I thought at first that I could be fit to be an accountant so I aspired to be one. I also observed that many people engage in doing business, and even regular employees are not an exception.  But then as I grew, I realized that I didn't want to calculate someone else money, I wanted to calculate mine. That is why I shifted my mind from being an accountant to being an entrepreneur. I
