People laughed at this entrepreneur’s idea — now it’s a $500 million business, thanks to his mom

RACHEL GILLETT - For the longest time flowers have been the standard for saying “I love you,” “I’m sorry,” and “I hope things gets better.”

Who, then, would dream of competing with the mainstay of positive gestures and sentiments?

At least that’s what experts asked Tariq Farid, then a flower shop owner, when he pitched them the idea behind Edible Arrangements in 1999.

Farid, who had begun toying with flower-shaped cutters and pineapple slices, was told to “stick with flowers, that I was wasting my time and my money on fruit bouquets,” he explains to Business Insider.

But when he first took an arrangement home and put it on the table, his mother told him, “This is going to be great.” That’s all the encouragement he needed to begin his new venture.

Business plans, good ideas, and 8 other myths about startups – by Indiegogo's CEO

Kieren McCarthy - "We have the ability to be an entrepreneur beaten out of us," explained the CEO of funding site Indiegogo Slava Rubin, in front of a big picture of a kettle.

Rubin was giving the closing keynote at this week's Vator Splash in Oakland – his backyard, he told us. "I turned down South by Southwest, but Oakland? Yes to Oakland."

The picture of the kettle is to illustrate an interesting but fundamentally flawed idea: that we have the desire to test out things and keep an open mind beaten out of us as we grow up. Your mom always tells you not to touch the kettle because it will be hot. But as a kid, you touch it anyway, just to be sure.

The analogy kinda breaks down there. If being an entrepreneur was about ignoring good advice, you wouldn't go far, and there would be a lot of people with burnt fingers. The main drive of Rubin's talk took a similar line between making you think, and hoping you didn't think too much.
