Rob McGovern had a very well doing business going, called Jobfox. Then he had a head-on collision with a 17 year old teenager who was passing somebody illegally . At the time, he was on the phone with his Vice President of sales going up a hill. He hit at the top of the hill so he never saw him coming. He fell into a Coma for weeks. When he woke up he was able to think differently. He asked his neurologist if he would ever be %100 again. His neurologist said Yes, but a different %100. He said those words rang in his ears forevermore. With his new thinking, he designed their new product.He knows that he will still never be the same. He can’t go to a party and later on, remember the names of the people he met. His VP still tears up sometimes, but he just says “Stop crying and go build something” He also said “Life is either a hell of a ride or a ride to hell. I’m done with the ride to hell”

For years Garret Camp has owned a business called StumbleUpon.The business shared web pages with people who needed help with business’s.Then he sold it to Ebay in 2007. In 2009 he gathered a team of investors to help him buy it back.When Ebay owned his business he was the entrepreneur but he had a boss. They got regular people just looking for a job rather than more risk-taking, more up-sided people. The most biggest problem for him was there was barely any flexibility in the business. One time he even had to hire a database administrator and they told him there was a hiring freeze. He decided he wanted to become a independent business again. after a year of negotiating, contacting investors and presentations he finally did it in April 2009. When he broke away from Ebay, it felt like a whole new company again. The got the Risk-taking mind-building people they wanted. When they left Ebay they got about 300 million page recommendations a month. Now they get over 1 billion a month. The company seems more alive because they got employees that wanted to build something. They re-launched their ad system and created mobile apps. I think this is a successful Entrepreneur’s business.
