JAPADOG: Japadog was started by a Japanese couple who moved to Vancouver in 2005. The husband was an ad salesman in Japan and had big dreams of opening a crepe cart here in the city. He faced many obstacles but kept working hard... soon the Japadog was born and it became one of the most popular carts in downtown Vancouver. Two weeks ago, they were able to upgrade their humble hot dog carts to a restaurant!
JAYESSLEE: Some of you may have heard of them or watched their videos on YouTube. These Korean twin sisters are some of the most humble singers I have known of. They just did what they loved to do - sing...now their videos are reaching more than 3 million views! Watch them here: www.youtube.com/user/jayesslee
FOREVER21: We all know them, we've all probably shopped there at least once but did you know that it started with a couple who migrated from South Korea to LA? They started out with a 900 sq foot store and now they are worldwide with over 400 stores!
What is your favourite "zero to hero" story?

I like Charice's song with Iyaz :]
Those hot dogs look awesome D: there's this hot dog place that recently opened INSIDE A FROZEN YOGURT PLACE, right by me hahaha. they needed something to make up for the lack of customers during the cold winter months! Berkley dog! i've yet to try it :p
love this "overcame adversity" entry!! the jap dogs sound amaaaaaaaaazing.
I love hearing stories like this too. Charice is awesome, she even showed up in a movie too :D
I've seen and heard about Japadog a lot, but have yet to try them. It may have to be put on my "to do list" this summer.
i want those japanese hot dogs! i saw them somewhere else on tv & wanted to try them ever since
I didn't know that that's the back-story of Forever21! Amazing :) They're opening their first store here in Manila and I am so excited! :D
Wow! I gotta follow this blog!!!
I love your personal posts because it is interesting to read what makes you that creative in your business, you know ;)
Keep up your posts!!!
Aww, makes me feel proud to see people rise up and get the attention they deserve - I remember watching vids of Charice on Oprah and thinking, "Whoa, she HAS to go far." And I had no clue about the background of Forever21! I think my favourite "zero to hero" story will be Kym, deciding to make witty and adorable t-shirts and becoming an awesome lady spreading her creations far and wide :DDDDD *huuugs*
Lovely!!! one works hard and gets rewarded! It doesn't happen so often, but it's good to know that it can happen!
These stories are amazing. :)
I love Jayeslee, so cool. They sing really great. Thanks for this, haha. I only wish I had a Japadog now :)
