Entrepreneurship and the Plunge Decision
Moonlighting
Tom Fatjo was an accountant in Houston in 1967 when a meeting in his community challenged him to take up the garbage collection problem the neighbourhood was facing. He borrowed $7,000 for his first truck. Every day, Fatjo woke at 4 a.m. to collect garbage for two hours before changing into a suit to go to work in his accounting office. This went on for over a year before Tom sat down to make the hard decision of whether to go on his own.
