Success Story: Ray Kroc; Founder of McDonald’s
Friday, July 28th, 2006From: Joseph Bentley
Consider the following…
Ray Kroc took an idea and created a new business around it.
The idea was to invent a better little “money making machine” (a McDonald’s store), improve the machine with time, keep the machine simple and easy to operate and build more and more of the little machines with passing time.
“I gave a lot of men the opportunity to become millionaires.” Wrote Ray Kroc, in his autobiography (Grinding It Out: The Making of McDonald’s by Ray Kroc with Robert Anderson), “They did it themselves. I merely provided the means.”
