The story of entrepreneurial spirit

Recently I read a story about how one of the e-commerce companies (Diaper.com) came to be the biggest in what they do nationally. And with all great companies, it started in a home garage and with minimal amount of investment. It just goes to show you that you only need a vision and some creative ideas to start your own company. These people started with buying stuff from wholesale clubs and sending it out right away while they got rejected by a big manufacture but due to their growth in company were eventually give an account access by that manufacturer and the rest is history. It was just a simple idea selling baby diapers. Who knew that even with that simple product, you can make millions. This year they would be sending out their 500 millionth diapers out.

In addition to the success of the above mentioned company, they have also started Soap.com which specializes in household and personal care products. And imagine all of this started in a garage. Although I know that now everybody can do it or wants to do it or should do it. My point here is that you can do it if you feel down on your luck, the amount of work that you put in finding a job and working in an office (sometimes in excess of 60 hours) could be utilized in developing some idea and then working it out from there, you never know what could happen.
