WEALTH & RICHES THE BEST YOU
JULIE DEANE INSPIRINGLY INNOVATIVE
I don’t care what anybody says, it has never been easier to start a business than it is right now...
There are many motives for starting a business, and Julie Deane's is one of the purest. Concerned that her daughter was being bullied at
her school in Cambridge, Julie Deane realised that she couldn't afford the fees to move her to a public school. Determined to protect her, she wrote a list of the ten things she could do to make money. At position number four on that list was the idea of selling traditional satchels. She turned this idea into the Cambridge Satchel
Company, a business that within four years had a £12 million turnover. Her high quality satchels in bright as well as traditional colours have become a fashion craze, with stars such as Alexa Chung, Fearne Cotton and Elle Fanning sporting her bags. So what drives her? Apart from her motherly love,
Deane says her childhood in a Welsh mining area during the pit closures made her realise the social value of industry and of bringing manufacturing jobs to the UK. Julie was the first person in her family to go to University and says she was always driven to set a high goal and then "work like mad" to achieve it. Julie Deane shows the world that quality really does
shine through!
HER DEDICATION TO WORK WAS MOTI- VATED BY THE IMMEDIATE NEED TO MAKE HER CHILDREN'S LIVES BETTER. IT'S A WON- DERFUL STORY FOR ANYONE WONDERING HOW TO MAKE THEIR BUSINESS REALLY SHINE. MORE POWER TO JULIE DEANE!

MARK ZUCKERBERG: TECHNICAL GENIUS
By giving people the power to share, we're making the world more transparent
As co-founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg is one
of the most influential men in the world. Born in 1984, the son of a psychiatrist and a dentist Zuckerberg began using computers and writing software in middle school and learned ATARI basic programming in the 1990s. As a child he designed a system he called "Zucknet" to allow his father's home and work computers to communicate in "Instant Messaging" style, long before AOL had released their system. Both Microsoft and AOL wanted to hire him, but instead he went to Harvard. It was here he wrote a programme he called
Facemash which allowed students to vote on who was the "hottest looking". It was so popular it caused the Uni's network to crash and had to be taken down. Zuckerberg launched social networking site
Facebook for Harvard in 2004, then spread it to other universities and afterwards throughout the world, becoming a billionaire in 2007 at the age of 23. Major corporations offered to buy the company, but Zuckerberg and his team refused, explaining: "For me and my colleagues, the most important thing is that we create an open information flow for people. Having media corporations owned by conglomerates is just not an attractive idea to me."
WHOLE COMMUNITIES SHARE EXPERI- ENCES THANKS TO HIS VISION, AND BECAUSE OF IT HE IS NOW ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE WITH A PERSONAL FORTUNE ESTIMATED AT $13 BILLION.
