Power of the Start

Got this email from Mr.Padmanaban, founder Chennai Entrepreneurship Club and wanted to share it with you all.

 

Loved the piece I just read on Chester Carlson.

 

  • He graduated in The Great Depression.
  • Applied for a job with 82 companies.
  • Finally got a basic job as a patent researcher and had to reproduce copies by hand.
  • He thought there had to be a better way.
  • Even better, he acted on his big idea.

 

Through hard work and innovation he eventually came up with a process called ‘electrography’. Carlson tried to sell it to 20 companies and there were Lots of “No’s”.

 

Few people can see genius until the big idea gets traction. Then it seems so very obvious (think iPod. Think Twitter. Think Google.).

 

Finally he met Joe Wilson, the president of Haloid, a company that produced photo paper. Wilson bought the dream. The company was renamed. And Xerox was born.

 

Hope you all have the sprit like Chester Carlson.
