Here's what I'd like you to do:
You can use any source you like, but this link is a great starting point for learning about how some companies got started.
Choose the humble beginnings of a company that interests you and prepare a presentation with the details.
Your presentation should contain:
Name of company and what they do
Where and how they began
Some info about the founder(s) - who they are and what made them do this...
Any hardships or stumbling blocks they came across
Advice from the founder(s) about business
Something else interesting - use another source
Please include some text from the article that supports your details. Quote it and place in italics.
Your last slide should have works cited - websites visited and dates. Use: http://www.easybib.com/
Here's an example:
"How We Got Started." CNNMoney. Cable News Network, n.d. Web. 27 Feb. 2014.
