The Short Story Behind the Successful Business Men of Modern Era

John Paul DeJoria

Despite a rough start in life, John Paul DeJoria was able to turn his rags into riches. His story is a perfect example of the American Dream.

He started with just $700 in 1980. He teamed up with hairstylist Paul Mitchell and grew their company into one of the world's leading salon hair care brands.

As the head of the company, he was always looking for ways to give back to society. He has supported various charities like Grow Appalachia, which helps poor families in six states in central Appalachia grow their own food to combat malnutrition; and Sea Shepherd, which confronts illegal poaching and destruction of wildlife in the ocean.

He has also helped the homeless by providing them with shelter and food. He has been a big supporter of Chrysalis, an organization that works with the homeless to help them get on their feet and find their way in life.

Richard Branson

Richard Branson is a successful business man who has created a vast empire. He owns Virgin Megastores, a telecommunications company and has launched Virgin Galactic, a space tourism company that offers commercial suborbital passenger flights.

He is a humanitarian who has dedicated his life to promoting social justice and charity work. He also advocates making businesses a force for good.

Branson has a knack for recognizing opportunities when they appear, and it's this innate business skill that has helped him build the Virgin group of companies. His willingness to take risks, defy the odds, and challenge the norm has served him well throughout his career.

He has been a pioneer in many record-breaking adventures, including the fastest Atlantic crossing in a hot air balloon and a series of oceanic balloon journeys. He is also a passionate advocate of space exploration. He is a member of The Elders, an organization created by Nelson Mandela to work for peace and global security.

François Pinault

In 1963, Francois Pinault established wood and building materials company Pinault. He made his fortune by expanding the company and acquiring renowned luxury brands.

François Pinault's success lies in his versatile thinking and constant innovation. He expanded his business portfolio by investing in other fields such as art and real estate.

His first foray into the art world was with a painting by Paul Serusier, titled Cour de ferme en Bretagne. It depicted a Breton scene and reminded him of his grandmother.

He continued buying modern artworks and became a major collector. He also built two museums, Palazzo Grassi on the Grand Canal and Punta della Dogana in Venice.

After a decade of transforming Pinault-Printemps-Redoute (PPR), which was known as Pinault Distribution, into a fashion powerhouse, Pinault handed the keys to his son. The younger Pinault rebranded the company as Kering in 2013.

Elon Musk

Elon Musk is a world-renowned business man and investor. He has a variety of businesses in different modern sectors.

He is a demanding perfectionist and innovator in the high-tech industry. His education in physics helps him to see the objective truth and separate it from the emotional and speculative forecasts.

Another factor that contributed to his success is the open mindset of big thinking. He believes that bigger problems are sources of bigger opportunities.

His open mind allowed him to pursue important ideas instead of worrying about looking stupid because he didn't make money on his big financial bets.

He started a pair of huge dot-com successes, including PayPal, which eBay bought in 2002 for $1.5 billion. He also founded SpaceX, which aims to send people into space.
