The minute you have a back-up plan, you've admitted you're not going to succeed - Elizabeth Holmes
This was not easy for her, as she had a fear of needles for long, but she actually turned it into her reason to achieve success.While an entrepreneur cannot wait to get into the limelight and spread their idea into the news to attract more buyers and investors, Holmes worked in the opposite direction. She invested 11 years of her life towards the development of a technology for blood-tests and diagnosis, wherein she targeted the use of a single drop for the purpose, taken through an effortless finger prick.
Achievements:
The last evolution in this regard took place in the 1960s, but Holmes discovered a unique way that had a potential to shake the whole industry. She remained an unknown personality virtually, until Forbes listed it in their list ’40 under 40’. Another reason believed to be behind this stealth approach is that she wanted to create a completely fresh market, before allowing her competitors to catch up. She gave up all the fun of this selfie age, breaking the internet, following YouTube stars and focused on her business for a social cause. This is what made Elizabeth, the ‘youngest self-made female billionaire’ of the world.
