Any good business stories?

Do you have any good stories about why, how or when someone started a business (not necessarily successful)? 

  • It doesn't matter if it's a local grocery shop or a F500 company.
  • It can be from relatives, friends or books.

I would want to understand what happened (events, circumstances) or what he was thinking in that moment when the idea of the business came into his mind.
