The List of Famous Entrepreneurs



I decided to post a list of famous entrepreneurs on here to show you that anyone can become one and possibly give you guy’s motivation. I mean, making money is just part of it but standing out from the crowd is a whole other ballgame.


Before I get to the famous entrepreneurs, let’s go over a quick definition on what exactly is an entrepreneur?
The definition of entrepreneur is “An innovator of business enterprise who recognizes opportunities to introduce a new product, a new process or an improved organization, and who raises the necessary money, assembles the factors for production and organizes an operation to exploit the opportunity.”
And a female entrepreneur is sometimes known as an entrepreneuse which is the French feminine form of entrepreneur.
Anyways, I just wanted to give you guys some motivation on becoming a entrepreneur, your own boss and show that anyone can be a famous entrepreneur if you put your mind to it. I know we might not all be billionaires like Bill Gates but we can all be on own bosses if we put our minds to it.
Matter of fact, I think a majority of us don’t even realize how much of an entrepreneur we are. But if you have made money on your own before whether it’s selling lemonade on a hot sunny day or coming up with a new way of selling a product, then you are on your way to a famous entrepreneur.
Anyways, I’m sure you’re sick of my blabbing on famous entrepreneur stuff so here’s the list of famous entrepreneurs you may or may not have known and what they’re famous for. (There are plenty of famous entrepreneurs that I’m sure isn’t on this list, feel free add any )

Leadership Is......



The privilege of working while others sleep!


The privilege of reading or researching while others rest!

The privilege of spending time driving their businesses while others drive a golf ball!

The privilege of working hard in their businesses to make their dreams become a reality while others work hard to block out the reality that they have no dreams!

The privilege of praying for wisdom while others are out playing with no worries!

The privilege of routinely giving themselves to their teams while others give themselves to television!

The privilege of ignoring fatigue and focusing on daily goals while others give in to fatigue and forget their daily goals!

The privilege of being servants to their teams and their own life goals, while others have no goals or teams to which to give themselves!

The privilege of delayed gratification. Doing what they may not feel like doing today so they can do, have, and become what they want in the future. Meanwhile, non leaders do all the little and insignificant things they want to do today at the expense of all the big and significant things they wish for in the future!


I love that one of my LEADERS (Ashely Maldonda)  tagged me in this note on Facebook!
I am working very hard to become a leader, in all aspects of life! Not only a leader in my business, but a LEADER in my family, a LEADER for my race, a LEADER towards being a better christian, a LEADER of POSITIVITY! With this note I am going to post it in the bathroom infront of the tolilet. Why the bathroom you ask everyone uses it of course, and I want everyone to use this towards their GOALS!!!

Skin Serums ... The New Fountain of Youth?

In the quest for the perfect look, consumers are actively searching for and educating themselves on products that will stop signs of time and provide them with youthful, vibrant skin.
With all the technological advances in the beauty industry and the variety of available products, dermatologists still come to the conclusion that serums are far more effective in fighting signs of aging. The reason serums are so powerful is that they contain a high concentration of ingredients that will bring results to targeted areas. According to Envy Organics manufacturer Charley Richards, Envy Organics products are comprised of the finest cosmetic grade raw materials in percentages that are certain to produce beneficial effects for the skin.
Envy's serums have been formulated to fight signs of aging including age and sun related pigmentation with enzymes and antioxidants that fight skin loss of elasticity and protect from environmental damage. The Age Defier Day Serum evens skin tone while protecting the existing collagen and elastin. The Age Defier Night Serum is infused with cucumber and hyaluronic acid to reduce puffiness and brighten complexion.



Maintain your youthful radiance with Envy Organics'
Day and Night Serums!
