Hey marketers!
You know what? I just found these stories. I hope it will encourage you as much as they encouraged me.

Walt Disney was rejected before anyone invested in Mickey Mouse
Walt Disney is one of the most creative minds ever, but his creativity wasn't immediately recognized by the world around him. When he was 22, Disney was fired from a Missouri newspaper for his lack of creativity. When he brought the idea of Mickey Mouse to more than 300 investors, they thought it was absurd. Eventually, Disney went on to garner 59 Academy Award nominations and 32 wins, the most by any individual.

The Museum of Modern Art turned down Andy Warhol's gift of a drawing
In 1956, famous pop artist Andy Warhol attempted to gift one of his drawings, "Shoe," to the MoMA in New York. He received a rejection letter, saying the museum did not have space for it. Today, art experts expect Andy Warhol paintings to sell for $50 million at auctions, and the MoMA now has 168 pieces by the artist.

Jim Lee was rejected multiple times by Marvel before being hired as a cartoonist
Today, Jim Lee is known for his legendary comics style, drawing "X-Men" in the 1980s and founding his own comics company, Image Comics. However, Lee sent multiple comic submissions to Marvel and DC before he was hired, and they were all rejected. Lucky for all of us, the cartoonist was eventually hired by Marvel to draw "Double Vision," and his career blossomed from there.


I know it’s not really marketing post. But I want to inspire you to do big things, two of the most important traits to have are perseverance and belief in yourself. These now-legendary creatives received crazy rejections but didn't give up, ultimately climbing to their great levels of success.

Go for it!!!
