Develop A Fighting Spirit - Will Keith Kellogg

Will Keith Kellogg
Company: Kellogg’s
Net Worth: Unknown

If it were not for the ingenuity of W.K. Kellogg, the world today might never know flaked cereal. A master marketer and inventor, Kellogg revolutionized the breakfast food industry when he decided to start his own company and sell toasted corn flakes back in 1906. Today, that same company has grown to include almost 32,000 employees and earns over $12.8 billion in revenue.

He dropped out of school and was always considered to be the “dim-witted” child in his family. So how did this boy so destined for failure rise to become one of America’s most well-known entrepreneurs?

Advice For Entrepreneurs:

“I never, at any period of my life, aspired to become wealthy, but the fierce competition perhaps developed a fighting spirit, and in the effort to secure our share, the business has succeeded. It is my hope that the property that kind Providence has brought me may be helpful to many others, and that I may be found a faithful steward.”
