What is perseverance?
Tom Monaghan Period of Perseverance
Tom Monaghan was put through several adversities which lead him to many triumphs. One adversity was when he lost control of his company but stayed as president. He worked 16 hours a day with a $200 pay check. to keep his money he drove an old beat up car and had barely any furniture. Working for someone else was something Tom tried to keep from but otherwise he would have been filed with bankruptcy. The new manager cut back on employees and reorganized the company. While reorganizing he put Tom in charge of 12 corporate stores. Tom was left to sleep in his car to keep expenses down. After only 10 months the new manager wanted out saying the company had no future. After that Tom was back to head of the company and over the next 9 years Tom rebuilt the company. He fought off all the other competing pizzerias and is now a successful company owner.
