When Adam Horwitz was 18, he started Urban Stomp; a website where he posted music and the locations of parties in the area. Eventually, the site proved too successful for its own good, and when 800 people showed up to a single party one week, he knew it was time to shut it down. He now makes money by writing courses, such as “Mobile Monopoly” and “Mobile Mastermind”, which have earned him over six figures in revenue so far. Also, another recent venture of his is YepText, a text messaging service that texts ads to people’s smartphones, which allows small businesses to attract customers easier. Adam sums up what it’s like to be an entrepreneur with a very succinct quote: “The hardest part about being an entrepreneur is that you’ll fail ten times for every success.”
Inspiring story! It’s interesting that his Urban Stomp business was “too” successful and that it couldn’t be maintained with its level of success. Also, the unfortunate truth that it typically takes many failures before succeeding takes a major toll on entrepreneurs and their morale. Adam is a true representation of persistence and resilience as a millennial entrepreneur.
