Wonderful life after the age of 52

Ricklock's way of employing people

The founder of McDonald's, Rick Locke, turned out to be a salesman with decent living conditions. His wife thought he could start enjoying himself, but he still wanted a better life, and he didn't have enough money, so he decided to start a company. He stumbled across two brothers, and seeing that they had invented a quick meal format, he begged them to let him in.

"The Great Entrepreneur" movie review

The film is based on a true story, the process of creating McDonald's. Ray Clark was not the one who actually founded McDonald's, but he turned McDonald's into a business empire. Everyone thinks that McDonald's sells hamburgers, but in fact we do real estate. While expanding McDonald's stores, he was plunged into an economic crisis. At this time, a financial advisor helped him sort out the current...

The key to success in entrepreneurship is grabbing, profit-oriented

This story tells us that the success of entrepreneurship depends on grabbing. First of all, luckily, Ray accidentally saw the first McDonald's. After burning, have a vision and find the market demand for fast food. Optimistic about the McDonald's model. Also have the courage to insist on negotiating the franchise. If you have money and guts, you can mortgage your house to buy a Bole, and you will find that people have ideas, can give speeches, have family ideas, go to church, wine bureaus,...

Do not forget the original intention, not always

At first, infected with Ray's enthusiasm, he was also angry at being restrained by his original brother while he was desperately expanding his business. In my opinion, the change happened when I met the person who proposed that real estate is the creator of the economy, a natural economist, and the person who "brought bad" Ray. The craftsman spirit and the interests of businessmen in the later period became the main theme of the film. The whole movie is very realistic, but it made me feel...

This is the first time I know that McDonald's came from this way. It's a black history, but the film seems to secretly add a halo to the protagonist. This kind of secret behavior makes people feel even more...

The fast food model was invented by two brothers, the real estate route was suggested by Sonneborn, and the milkshake way to save money was discovered by Joan Smith. I admit that ambition and perseverance are very important, but I don't believe it when you say that there is no good luck in meeting noble people in this...
