Coco Chan Research Paper
What made Gabrielle Bonheur Chan better known as Coco Chanel successful would have to be her dreams, work ethic, and determination. First, this young woman had to overcome the death of her mother and then being abandoned by her father and raised by other relatives. Next, she was a singer and according to the article, a mistress to some very powerful men that gave her the contacts she needed to make her dreams come true. Next with the help of the contacts she was able to open two small shops and with the war just beginning she had the opportunity to help other females by designing a more practical type of clothing for that time period. She also created hats, jewelry, other clothing, as well as some perfume. When France declared war, on Germany, …show more content…
He began selling root beer and later added Mexican food to the same business; next, he opened a drive in, food services in government buildings, hotels, resorts, in flight food services as well as food for schools and colleges and finally opened a few theme parks.

She has a degree in History and Architectural History, modeled, been a stockbroker, owned a catering business, published books and magazines, ran her own television show, as well as with the help of her business partner bought all things associated with her name and turned it into her own company.
What I have noticed is with all of these people each of them may have had similar or very different backgrounds yet with hard work and determination were able to make their dreams come true. By doing this research I discovered a few things I did not think about when we first began this assignment. Such as how each of these people had the right ideas but yet were able to open their businesses at just the right time in the market and make it successful. At this time, I am not sure opening a computer business may be the right idea but I do not plan to give up the idea of opening my own business someday. The reason I can say this is that computer repair shops are a dime a dozen but what I have to decide is what kind of computer business I really wish to open at this
