Julie Wayne Wright has taken two companies to the public, which is a very incredible achievement through any standard. Still in her new memory, Time to be realShe offers something more valuable to readers: a two -sided look at the dirty facts of the entrepreneurship. Wayne Wright shares the stringent truths that can associate a lot of high acquisition CEOs, but rarely can be discussed publicly, in which many people will consider its first major shock, which was shutting down Pitts.com during the 2000 market crash.

The start of the online pet supply was immediately identified thanks to its monument Sock puppet showbunker And the charming slogan, “because pets can’t drive a car.” But it seemed as if the dot com bubble burst was just a fast moment, which would put a shadow over a decade on the van Wright’s carrier. “When I talk to the recruiters, it was like that,” Wayne Wright interviewed the editor earlier this week, ‘no one will get your services anymore.’
It came out like a trauma, seeing that Van Wright’s career was not initially stopped. After cutting teeth in chlorox, she rose through tech companies in the 90s when women’s leadership in the sector was very low. As the CEO of Berkeley Systems and later online video store Rail.com, he worked “tonnes” but he was happy and, by saying, Rail.com’s revenue is raising Million from $ 3 million to $ 25 million.

“My job is over, I’m divorcing, and I don’t have children,” Wayne Wright, 42, thinking when he felt like the end of life. After further worsening matters, the media coverage was “incredibly negative and interference”, which led to it a few days after the company’s closure, reporters showed it at its doorstep.
