Why I Love Business

I’ve seen a lot of sucessful people today, all with different backgrounds, but all sucessful nonetheless. Amongst all of their different personalities, titles and companies, I noticed that there was one trait they all share - they all bust their butt, and have early on as high school or college kids. I love that about business - if you’re willing to put in the effort, regardless of who you are, you can do well for yourself.

Today, I had dinner at an In-N-Out Burger, a staple food stop for any left-coast visitor. As I was enjoying my double-double burger, I found it interesting that this burger joint started from scratch and, with a little (or a lot) of effort, has become an extremly popular place to eat with locations everywhere out here. In-N-Out is no different than Apple, Wal-Mart or Disney - they all needed someone to execute and idea by putting in the effort.

I love that.

    In and out Burger was made most famous because of the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High. That is where Jud Reinholts character works at the beginning of the movie. It was product placement at it’s best. I have never been to the west coast and know what In and Out burger is because of that movie.

    did you know the company is a known christian company who places scripture references on its cups and paper products? they also start their employees at $10 an hour and provide benefits to some. I’m pretty sure they were famous out west prior to the movie.
