Ray Kroc...

Drove an ambulance in World War 1.

He also tried his hand at selling paper cups and then sold the
multi-mixer for making milkshakes to Dick and Mac McDonald.

He never stood in line for a hamburger and was intrigued by the idea
that a restaurant could sell 40 milkshakes at a time

The McDonald brothers offered the business to their children, but they
didn't want it.

Ray Kroc decided to buy a franchise, and then bought out the McDonald
brothers for 1 million dollars each.

The rest is History - and now is the #1 fast food chain in the world.

All Greatness...

Has or had a beginning...which was started by one thought.

Walt Disney, had a dream, made it a vision, and convinced others.

Ray Kroc, selling his multi-mixer for milkshakes, to the McDonald
brothers, thought it was incredible that someone had the volume of
customers that they had to make so many milk shakes at one time, and
the rest is history.

Richard Branson didn't stop at his first successful business venture
when he published a magazine at called Student, at 16. He went on and
built his Virgin empire, with seemingly unrelated business ventures.

All started with one thought, and common denominator in greatness, is
that they heard the skeptics but didn't let the skeptics get in their
way.
