AGAINST ALL
ODDS: THE GRAHAM WEBB STORY
Graham Webb was born with
undiagnosed congenital spina bifida in London, England at a time
when little was known about it. He lived in government subsidized housing
with his family and became a high school dropout at 15. When he left his
school, Northbrook, in London in 1961, his
final report called him "lazy, silly, bone idle and apparently content
to remain so". This may appear to be a recipe for disaster, but Graham
chose to beat the odds. In fact, in 2000 he returned to Northbrook to accept a
lifetime achievement award.
Graham Webb also recently became
a member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE),
recognition. In fact, Graham Webb is a fine example of beating the odds,
persistence, overcoming adversity and never giving up.
One of the keys to Webb's success
is that he never took no for an answer. A born entrepreneur, he made light
of the 62 job application rejections he received as a teenager and went on
to build an incredibly success business empire in the hair and beauty
industry, Graham Webb International, a multi million dollar hair and beauty
company.
Graham Webb also recognized the
importance of alliances and a special mention should be made of Webb's
business partner, Robert Taylor who was the mastermind behind the
blockbuster success of Softsoap. He was also the
brain behind the marketing of the Obsession and Eternity Fragrances by
Calvin Klein. They worked together on the success of Graham Webb
International.
Graham Webb is an example to us
all that adversity makes us stronger if we do not allow it to defeat us,
that the impossible is just the untried, to never take "no" for
an answer, rise above your challenges and that courage is magnified in many
different ways.
I had the pleasure of meeting
Graham Webb personally in 1999 and also selling his exciting evolving
product line for a period of time and I can testify first hand to the
quality of the person as well as to the quality of his products.
