I noticed we haven't had a post in this section of the forum before, so I'm hoping to trawl around in my spare time and find some articles about our more famous countrymen in the hope that we can all pick up a few pearls of wisdom and inspiration. Dick Smith amassed a $25 million fortune in just 14 years because he created a business that was born from a passion. The following article gives some great insights into the mind of Dick Smith:

Even Dick has endured a few notable failures but that the world of being an entrepreneur for you. Some great example in the article of thinking (just) outside the box!

This is the fine example of entrepreneurship with how a store manager set a big empire of multimillion and this guy is still supporting the Australian companies to grow because of his country love.
