Good day everyone.
with a little delay we would like to represent you the Top 5 Business Success Stories for April. This monthly chart features once again not only proven entrepreneurs, such as Richard Branson, but also people like Naveen Selvadurai, who are currently at the dawn of their professional development as businessmen. An exciting fact is that three of the highlighted entrepreneurs, who took places on the top 5 for April, are clients of Steven Le Vine. Remember him? He is the Founder of the Los Angeles-based PR company, named Grapevine PR, and the man who made it to the #1 spot of our chart for March.
But before we start with the monthly top 5, let us give you one more time information about how our system works and who actually chooses the way our chart looks like. It’s all YOU! Every BoomPedia profile has a counter, which gives us 24/7 report on how many times the success story has been visited and how many social media users have shared it on their profiles. So if you have a favorite entrepreneur who you would want to win in the future, you could help him/her by recommending his/her BoomPedia page to your friends and followers on Facebook or Twitter by using the links at the bottom of the story.
Now…hold your breath and get ready for the monthly top 5.
5. Lizzie Vann
Believing that there is a strong link between nutrition and health, as a mother of three girls, Lizzie Vann started up Organix brands in 1992. From the whole beginning on, her top priority was improving the quality of the baby food, sold in the markets. Today the company generates an yearly revenue of over $36 million, although she sold it 3 years ago to one of her partners. Her personal inspiring philosophy is: “Live life in the present. And never forget that information is power. The power of information can change the world.”
4. Todd Warner
Todd is the founder of Tailwaggers, the leading natural and organic pet supply, food and grooming chain in Los Angeles. It frequently gets celebrity shoppers, such as Christina Ricci, Mandy Moore, Brad Pitt and Glee’s Dot Jones; and is the only store contracted to provide supplies to the LAPD’s Canine Unit. Todd emphasizes impeccable and warm customer service as the essential key to his chain’s success.
3. Richard Branson
Richard Branson is a world’s popular business magnate with British origin. He is most famous for being the Founder of Virgin Group of over 400 companies, which cover a multitude of a long range of businesses that are difficult to put under one class. His first successful business venture was a magazine called Student at age 16. Today he is the 5th richest person in the United Kingdom and 254th in the world according to Forbes’ 2011 list of billionaires,
2. Naveen Selvadurai
Naveen Selvadurai, the young entrepreneur, who made it to the #2 spot this month, is a perfect example for people, who are dealing with things that used to be their hobby and who are making money doing the things they love. As a Founder of Foursquare, a social network with more than 7 million users, he is considered to be a technology pioneer. Born in India, graduated from King`s College, London and then from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in the USA, he is a role model, one of the best examples for self-made millionaires.
1. Rob Williams and Rodney Johnson
In 2005, Rob Williams and Rodney Johnson decided to leave their jobs as publicist and insurance salesman, respectively, to form Guest House Films, an LA-based indie film production company. The company specializes in creating gay-themed movies, but felt that many of the current gay films were too depressing, so they wanted to tell stories that they themselves would want to see – with a happy note. They have since produced five films in just five years, an impressive feat. They can surely be announced an inspiring success story, so we strongly recommend to visit their BoomPedia profile.
This is which the April’s top 5 business success stories are. Hope you enjoyed our chart. Have a nice day and God bless you!

This post marks the beginning of a whole new initiative of our business success blog to highlight the most visited success stories on BoomPedia every single month.

I’m sure you’re impatiently waiting to read their names, so let’s begin with the monthly Top 5.
5. Debbi Fields

Today she is the head of a million dollar business as a Founder of Mrs. Fields Cookies – one of the largest retailers of freshly baked cookies and brownies in the United States.
4. Bill Gates
Everyone knows who Bill Gates is, but not everyone is familiarized with his success story as an investor and businessman.

If you would like to learn more about how Gates made it to the top and what his advices to all young entrepreneurs are, visit his profile on BoomPedia.

Dear Visitor,
welcome to our business blog.
It has been almost half a year since the first business success story hit the pages of BoomPedia – a website, dedicated to how to be successful in business. Till today we have related about more than 50 entrepreneurs. Only here you could find out what their inspiration on the road to success was, which their principles were and how did some of them reach their first million.
The success stories are divided into 17 categories, including the food, internet and furniture business branches. We have already told the stories of top entrepreneurs, such as Matt Mullenweg, the Developer and Founder of WordPress, and of young entrepreneurs, which are currently at the dawn of their successful development as businessmen. Our ambitious team has also made a couple of interviews with people from different business lines, including the Founder of SitePoint – Matt Mickiewicz.
…but what is actually this blog about?
Our aim is to create an online business community, where people could share their achievements with other entrepreneurs and could get their daily dose of inspiration. On BoomPedia Blog we are going to publish interviews, business articles, success stories and common news, related to the website.
Our team will appreciate your feedbacks and ideas about the future development of BoomPedia.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Angel Dimitrov
