In the Preface, we saw that Henry Ford personalized his successes and lost nearly a billion dollars by following his opinions to the bitter end. But Henry Ford wasn't the only businessperson who personalized his successes and then suffered a huge loss.
Sir Freddie Laker, the British entrepreneur, started a no-frills trans-Atlantic airline service, Skytrain, in 1977. Laker's story is the classic one of a factory tea-boy who, through hard work and effort, turned himself into a jet-setting millionaire. In order to achieve fortune and fame, he had taken on both the U.S. and British Governments and the International Air Transport Association, the international airline cartel. Granted, the service was only across the North Atlantic, but it would spread to all routes — wouldn't it?
