Thrilled with their success but hungry for more, the Hugheses
plan to tackle fantasy soccer in Europe, South America and Asia.
And FSPI has recently inked a hockey endorsement with the New York
Rangers' Mike Richter.
As the lineup of companies striking deals with FSPI swells, the
company is helping inspire future entrepreneurs in a link with
Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA). The nation's
largest association of marketing students, DECA is using fantasy
sports to enhance high school students' problem-solving and
sports management skills. "The use of our products as an
educational tool is one of my passions for our business," says
Hughes.
Several years have passed since the daring entrepreneur took the
stand that saved his business. At fourth and long, Hughes sidelined
everything but his own business instincts and ultimately claimed
victory. And Hughes' philosophy hasn't changed. "You
have to stick to your instincts and make your decisions based on
how you've gotten to that point," he affirms.

With the agony of defeat behind him, Hughes can see clearly
where he wants the company to go. "We're still in the
infancy stage," says Hughes. "We were technologically
ahead of our time. Now that the Internet is infiltrating the
average consumer [lifestyle] in America, that's what's
going to make our business huge. We knew it would take a long time;
we just had to wait."
