Back to the time before the establishing of Microsoft,
Bill Gates suffered from failure in his first business "Traf-O-Data" this business was a partnership between Gates, Paul Gilbert, and Paul Allen. The goal of this business was to create reports for roadway from raw traffic data.
The company achieved a little bit of success by processing the raw traffic data to generate some income. But the machine that they had built to process the data flopped when they tried to present it to a Seattle County traffic employee. Yet, this business helped to set Gates and his partner Paul Allen up for major success with Microsoft.
Although Gates failed at his first business but that didn’t discourage him from trying again.He was cleverly able to put a company that revolutionized the personal computing marketplace. and we all know how successful that was for him.
