Christian Owens – A Story Of Success
Is it possible to make million dollars in just two years? Seems diffucult,but not impossible. Well then is it possible to make million dollars for a 16-year-old kid? Christian Owens did it saying “inspired by Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs”.
The British teen—who lives in Corby, Northamptonshire—got his first computer age seven. Three years later he got a Mac and taught himself web design. Four years later—at age 14, in 2008—he started his first company. It was a simple site that some of you may know: Mac Bundle Box. The site was pretty, rooted into Apple’s own design guidelines and style.
The page sold a package of very neat Mac OS X applications for a discounted price and for a limited time. He would negotiate with the developers to get a discount deal on their apps. The resulting bundle had a combined retail value of around $400, but he would sell it for a tenth of that price.
Not only that: If enough people bought the package, a new application would get unlocked for all buyers, which guaranteed very good word-of-mouth promotion. And to top it all, Owens dedicated a percentage of all sales to charity.
The idea did well. Very well, in fact: In its first two years, Mac Bundle Box made $1,000,000 (700,000 British Pounds).
What was his secret? He says that “There is no magical formula to business, it takes hard work, determination and the drive to do something great.”
Wizard of OZ Movie Quotes
Do you remember the Wizard of Oz old movie? You may have watched it when you were kid. Beliefnet.com posted some quotes from the movie. Here are the quotes from Wizard of Oz,according to the site:
Wizard of Oz: A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others.
Dorothy: I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.
Wizard of Oz: Why, anybody can have a brain. That’s a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven’t got: a diploma.
