15 year old Adam Horwitz, started 30 websites within a span of 3 years. He was unsuccessful and didn’t make money on some of them. That didn’t stop him from reaching his goal. Horwitz had a desire to find online success and create a multi-million dollar online company by the age of 21. He started an online company that taught people how to earn money by generating mobile market leads where he was able to see this for a six-figure profit. His desire was to show people how to do business and make money. With this, he then started other similar websites that provided online courses, with “each of them selling for a 100,000 or more.” Insanely, Adam Horzitz’s idea was worth a million before he event reached adulthood. After this, Horzitz then started a website with a location to parties in certain areas and a place where he was able to post music. This site was successful making a profit through affiliate links, but then got shut down due to having 800 people go to a single party which then had to be shut down. His latest idea is an app called YepText, which is a text-messaging service that allows business to attract traffic to their locations by sending text message-based ads and promos straight to their cellphones. His idea is called, “YepText” and it targets small business rather then larger corporations.
Overall, I am inspired by Horzitz and his ability to bounced back up when he fails in order to go after his main goal and what he wanted in his business. After reading this article, I have taken that you need to go after what you want even if your idea or business doesn’t go as planned. I am inspired by the grit and determination in Horzitz and I hope that one day, I will show others through my product that same grit and determination as Horzitz showed.
