Travel and entrepreneurship go hand in hand, and there are countless stories where entrepreneurs go on pleasure sojourns. When all of a sudden something clicks in their mind, inspiration forms a basis for an innovative idea to work on. For instance, Howard Schultz, the former CEO of Starbucks, gleaned inspiration from the coffee shop experience he witnessed during his visit to Italy in 1983, where he perceived the popularity of Espresso bars in Milan, back when he was a director of retail operations and marketing.
After coming back from Italy, Howard Schultz somehow managed to convince the founders of Starbucks to shift their business model from supplying coffee to fine restaurants and espresso bars to creating an exceptional coffeehouse culture for customers in downtown Seattle. His efforts bore fruit, and now Starbucks is the largest coffeehouse company in the world, touting 22000 stores globally, over 25 years.
History is abounding with business success stories, comprised of the people’s experiences and what they witnessed on their various excursions. People around the world have diverse styles of living, and those who keep on exploring the world through travel, bring not only the wonders of those cultures back home but also the memories and experiences they had on the trip. The main challenge associated with traveling is that it requires time and money, and most entrepreneurs are pretty busy in their lives, not being able to spare time to leave their business operations for traveling. The Internet has somehow made it easier for people to experience many things while perusing the comforts of their homes.
Here we have selected a few people who cannot get enough of traveling and have come up with stellar blogs for helping travelers and entrepreneurs experience cultures across the universe by just taking out a little bit of time from their busy schedules.
