Hero Worship
Welcome to the entrepreneurial hall of fame. You can't touch these exhibits.
Few will argue that the 20th century was an era of unprecedented
progress, growth and accomplishment. Where would we be today
without the visionaries and dreamers, innovators and inventors,
mavericks and rebels, trailblazers and pioneers? The world as we
know it--and that which we will live in tomorrow--has been shaped
in large part by men and women who knew how to use their talent,
drive, ingenuity and desire to make dreams come
true . . . and influence the course of
history.
The four entrepreneurs to follow represent not only archetypes
of 20th-century achievement, but also very human examples who
faced--and overcame--the same kinds of obstacles we all do in life
and business.
