Failure Shouldn’t Stop You: 8 Successful Entrepreneurs Who
Experienced Failure First
Soichiro Honda: From the moment Honda saw his first vehicle, he
knew he wanted nothing more than to work in the automotive industry.
At 15, he left school to become an apprentice at Art Shokai, an auto
repair shop in Tokyo. He went on to open his own branch of Art Shokai
in Hamamatsu 8 years later. While working at Art Shokai, Soichiro
Honda created automotive parts in 1936 for Toyota, but they were
rejected.
However, Honda didn’t let Toyota’s rejection get the best of him. When
gasoline became scarce shortly after World War II, Honda offered a
solution. He created a small 2-stroke motor that needed very little gas to
operate and was designed for people to attach to their bicycles. The Honda
Motor Company was founded shortly after and released its first motorized
bike in 1949. Twenty years later, they began manufacturing cars and have
since won countless awards for Best Car of the Year, Top Safety Pick,
and Best Value.
