Читать книгу 48-Hour Start-up: From idea to launch in 1 weekend - Fraser MBE Doherty - Страница 4

There are only two people that I need truly to thank for making my career as an entrepreneur a possibility. As a boy, I pitched thousands of business ideas to them. As a teenager, they patiently listened as I explained yet another hare-brained concept after another.

They never said ‘no’ and they never discouraged me. Never pressured me to walk a more familiar path and always let me seek out what I thought I was born to do.

All along the way, they did everything they could to make my dreams a reality. Waking up at 4am to drive me to the fruit market on a Monday. Or the farmers’ market at the weekends. Or to a supermarket pitch far out of town. They stuck labels onto jars, served customers behind the stall and mucked in at the office.

They were there to lift my spirits when almost every one of my ideas failed, and to celebrate when a few of them worked. They were even willing to make an appearance on Korean TV, all to support their exhausting son.

I couldn’t have done any of it without you, Mum and Dad.
