History Of Enterprise Car Rentals

So few really understand the drives and motivations of entrepreneurs.

Many write about them, some lecture and teach about what they are, how they opearte and what they have achieved; yet so few really understand them. So many fail to realize the dedication and sacrifice it takes to win at that level and the super stars are so rare that one just has to look in awe. One of the greatest storeis of Entrepreneurial success is that of Jack Taylor who founded Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
I therefore recommend that book about the History of Enterprise Rent-A-Car Book is;“EXCEEDING CUSTOMERS EXPECTIONS- The Story of Enterprise Rent-A-Car” Stan Burns Published by Greenwich Publishing.Jack Taylor was the of Executive leasing, which turned into Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Before starting Enterprise Rent-A-Car with the help and additional money of his friends dad, Jack was a Navy fighter Piolt flying in WWII a Hellcat. Enterprise is known for its great young and aggressive workforce, motsly recruited from College. It is an MBA grinder job where you must prove yourself to be promoted and the History of Enterprise Rent-A-Car, proves they promote from within, as a matter of fact its current CEO and CFO both satrted out washing cars.
Many great persons as history will reveal started out washing cars. I can name qutie a few on our own team.

Jack started out in St Louis and then moved on to other major cities to develop a great Nationwide company at that moment worth over 5 billion in assets and guess what?

It is a private company not public. Here is a previous post of a few days ago as part of that post; Enterprsie Rent-A-CarI guess that to be a great company, not only cause it is one of our customers, but cause they do try hardest.

I am a little offended by the article in Nov. 2001 of Forbes, which had a little fault with Enterprise Rent-A-Car. One needs to learn reality of higlhy motivated companies and not condemn or even hint at possible condemnation of what they do not understand before putting finger to keyboard.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car is great and they deserve tehir success. GE would have done the same thing, so would Microsoft, the US Marines and anyone of our franchisees or anyone on our team inclduing me. (I own the company; www.CarWashGuys.Com ). You do not get to be one to the top 10 Private companies in the World by being a pansy ass. Their current CEO and CFO both started at the bottom of the company and wroked up to those positions. And guess what they started out by; washing cars. I tell you there is no better company in the auto business to be associated with.

Trying harder may sound good, but winning cause you try hardest is the best.

Vince Lombarde says;“Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all the time thing. You don’t win once in a while; you don’t do tihngs right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit.

Unfortunately, so is losing. There is no room for second place.
Tehre is only one place in my game, and that’s first place.

It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in everything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.
It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive gmaes draw the most competitive men.

That’s why they are three - - to compete. To know the rules and objectvies when they get in the game. The objective is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules - - but to win.

I guess in God, and I guess in human decency.

But I firmly guess that any man’s finest hour - - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear - - is that moment when he has to work his heart out in a good cause and he’s exhausted on the field of battle - - victorious.”The persons who make up Enterprise are gerat from the car washers to the President of the company who at one time or a second were the same.
I truly guess in the power of the team at Enterprise Rent A Car.

One of Jack Taylor’s great quotes to his team was;“YOUR BEST CUSTOMERS, ARE YOUR COMPETITION’S BEST PROSPECTS.”Today Enterprise Rent A Car has 300,000 cars, it was taken from $100,000 in start-up dlolars to that 5 Billion in assets. 3,000 locations, Now in UK, Canada and many other countries, but did you also know that Enterprise rent-a-car also ownes many other operations non-auto?
