My Favourite Entrpreneurs!

Hello Everyone, hope all is well. I just compiled a new list of my favourite entrepreneurs and why.


1.Richard Branson – Why? Because he is such an inspirational entrepreneur who constantly grows in various markets that he has never had any experience at before. He is one of the biggest risk takers out there as he invests much of his time and money into new projects that he usually doesn't no anything about, other than the fact that there is a gap in the market where he thinks his company would slot nicely. I once heard the term multipreneur used to describe Branson and thats exactly what he is. Besides no man's and island, well Richard is and island, he's Necker Island the one he owns in the Caribbean.


2. Bill Gates – Why? Because he proved that geeks can still be cool and invented and developed one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century. Windows is a global phenonomen which is used the whole world over. He is always the market leader and that takes a lot of balls.


3. Duncan Bannatyne – Why? Because he came from a background of nothing. Ok so hes not the richest man on the list but £300 odd million aint bad. The reason I chose Duncan was because of his background. At the age of 15 he served in the Navy but was then discharged for threatening to throw and officer off the boat lol. He then had practically nothing to his name and could have ended up constatly in and out of prison. When he got on his feet he purchased an ice cream van and several more vans once the business grew. He then sold the business for £28,000 which back then was a lot for a small ice cream business. He then purchased a care home and once the first was built he remoartaged it and built his second one and so on. This just show how much of a risk taker he is remortgaging his houses and businesses just to start the next business.


4. Calum Brannan – Who? You may be asking who am I talking about on this one. But Calum Brannan should definitely be a name to watch out for. Okay so hes from my home town but he is still a very good entrepreneur. My attention first came about when I seen him in the local newspaper at 15 and he had created a social networking site where people could talk about clubbing. Now bearing in mind this was nearly 5 years ago so he knew that social networking was going to be big. But since then the has created and developed his social site into what is now called Youmeo. I'm pretty sure he's a millionaire and at the age of 20, how many of the above do you think were millionaires by that age?


Well there it is, my favourite entrepreneurs. What you reckon? Tell me what you think of them please.
