      You've heard of Paul Mitchell hair

      products and Patrón tequila, but

      did you know these brands have

      a common origin? John Paul

      DeJoria founded both legendary

      companies, becoming a billionaire

      along the way. The path wasn't

      always easy for him though...

      DeJoria spent time on the streets

      twice. The first time that he was

      homeless, he was only 22 and had

      a two year old son to care for. He

      persisted in his entrepreneurial

      vision,eventually co-founding John

      Paul Mitchell Systems with $700 in

      startup cash. Today, DeJoria is a

      philanthropist who supports a

      number of social causes. Among

      other things, he helps to provide

      resources to people dealing with

      homelessness.

      David Daneshgar Won Startup

      Money by Playing Poker...

      What's the quickest way to come

      up with $30,000? If you're a card

      shark like David Daneshgar, the

      answer might be to sign up for a

      poker tournament. Daneshgar and

      two friends wanted to start an

      online marketplace connecting

      florists with customers, but they

      didn't have startup cash...

      So Daneshgar, who once won the

      World Series of Poker and spent

      one thousand dollars to enter a

      poker tournament. The grand prize

      of $30,000 was the exact amount

      of money that they needed. At the

      end of the tense final round,

      Daneshgar told his friends what

      they wanted to hear; It’s Flower

      Time and launched their business

      BloomNation.

     It is a good to let money be be

     your slave, and not make yourself

     a slave to it.
