    Hi Guys

    A lot of us are hoping to start the 'next big thing' on the Internet and looking to become rich from it.

    Before us, there were many others also hoping for the same. They are Apple, Google, Facebook and many more! Did you know that many of these websites started off in garages, living or bedrooms?

    Here is a list of such companies and where they started:

    This is an interesting read and very inspiring.

    Hope you will enjoy it!

    What about just focus on starting something you enjoy? Instead of something that will be the next big thing? I'm sure that way you will get much better results :)

    Almost all companies start like this, it's nothing to be shocked about.

    Best quote about this type of thing I ever heard was " A big business, is just a little business that grew up."
