In the 1960s, the "Hula Hoop" had become an epidemic in the USA. In a short time, the plastic hoops of this hoop spin game, which aroused curiosity and excitement all over the world, were brought to our country. It was unclear at first whether it would be popular.

In particular, the culture of the family, the relations of family members with each other and with other people, and whether there is an entrepreneur in the family are very important factors.

Globally, entrepreneurs have two common features. The first is “The passion to make something happen. His passion to be the pioneer of innovations is like the passion of a painter, sculptor or writer. This is a passion that captivates and intoxicates people.

Another common feature of entrepreneurs is to see opportunities that others do not see, to turn them into business ideas, to take risks and to take the first step.

People who can approach others more positively, make easy friendships and appear sympathetic are more successful as entrepreneurs. A good education increases this success even more. Success is a spiritual need for man, it is a way to prove himself. Commitment and power needs are also points of spiritual satisfaction in terms of a person's psychological and social position.

As a businessman who has undertaken many responsibilities, I can say that; My late father advised me a few very short phrases such as "Everything is on time" and "Headship is in knowledge" as a principle of living. These two guiding words or principles have taught me a lot in my work life, family environment and social relationships.
