by MC P. Marketing

The best way to get your day started off on the right foot? Inspiration! And we've got just what you need, hear all about Patron’s John Paul DeJoria, Macropay’s Adam Clarke, and YouTube’s Chad Hurley.

John Paul DeJoria

The life of John Paul DeJoria is an inspiring story about self-made success, with humble beginnings in Orange County. He began working at bars to fund his passion for music composition before founding two successful businesses - Paul Mitchell hair products and Patrón tequila.

This man had a two-year old son when he was just 22 years old and homeless. His story is inspiring because it shows how much someone can change in an extremely short time period, even if they were very young at first!

Adam Clarke

Macropay’s Founder & CEO started his entrepreneurial dreams at the young age of 13. By 16, he joined the workforce and honed his skills as a salesman. After his successful stint as a teenage sales wiz, Adam decided to aim higher and build his company.

The long journey to revolutionize the payment industry began in a living room. After many trials, Macropay is now one of most recognized companies for developing cutting-edge technology. Adam's vision has finally come true after years spent fighting against all odds—and he doesn't plan on giving up any time soon!

Chad Hurley

PayPal's iconic logo was designed by Chad Hurley, who also happened to be a fine arts major. His creativity and skill helped him land an interview with the company that would eventually become one of America’s most successful businesses!

YouTube was created by Chad with Steve Chen who realized they could not share a video file. In January 2005, they registered the domain name youtube.com which would become one of their most popular video-streaming sites.

YouTube was launched in April 2005 and within nine months, it reached 1 million hits with an ad featuring Ronaldinho.

Feature Conclusion

These 3 entrepreneurs show us that nothing, not even the most challenging trials can stop them from achieving their goals and turning those dreams into reality. With hard work comes success, as long as you do not give up!

Macropay’s Adam Clarke sums it up best, aspiring entrepreneurs must “not believe that the entrepreneurs you look up to are different from you. The only difference is the ability to handle failure and rejection at an incredible rate. Standing up again after getting knocked over by failure is the most important part of being an entrepreneur.”
