Inspiring Story For Anyone Looking to Start A Business
Hello
You know, with the economy down and people complaining that its hard to make money, I thought I'd share an inspiring story. A story about a plain old guy from Canada, Markus Frind, who started plenty of fish as a way to learn ASP (don't ask me why he wanted to learn ASP in the first place). Anyway, his side project grew into a top online destination (its a free dating site), that serves 1.6 billion pages a month and grosses ten million with a staff of three. Here's a link to the story. Let me know what you think and if you have any other inspiring stories.

That is an inspiring story indeed. His site is now very succesful - I guess he learned ASP pretty well! I'm hoping that someday I'll be able to tell my own story as an inspiring success story for others too.

As I've mentioned before here, Im an AMerican living in China. I have another American friend that lives here. We met about 5 years ago. He was teaching and living a crappy apartment about the size of an average bedroom, sharing a bathroom with 3 other families.
He worked hard and made contacts by sourcing products. 5 years later he has an office in the business district in this city, employs about 5 people numerous clients, a new apartment, wife and a baby on the way.
Great to see someone go from rags to riches.

Ebay started as a place where people could sell PEZ dispensers.
