Let's share some stories that you might not read about in the Financial Times, or Fortune or HBR etc etc

Stories that you would discuss over family dinner about how so-so is doing so well by taking an idea, could be small & simple or could be major... and doing so well or not so well at it.

Thus, sharing business ideas post.

Mine:

I know of someone who moved to E.Africa, and realized that there is NO-ONE who is selling packaged ice. So he started off renting a small room that fit the ice-making equipment... and really just made ice. Packaged it, and sold it to his initial small cx base of neighborhood cafe's. Within a month, word got out and he had orders from nearly ALL major restaurants & cafe and some hotels. Needless to see, he upgraded his machinery super quick & is relatively speaking, laughing to the bank.
