T'bird Entrepreneurs
Introduction
Due to the recent economic growth
and recovery in the United States, 1984
has been a record-breakingyear for the
establishment of new businesses-more
than 800,000. Not surprisingly, it has
also been a record year for small
business failures.
Although it is impossible to document
the exact number, we know that T'bird
entrepreneurs are plentiful and diverse.
Some people estimate that as many as
one out of every four Thunderbird
alumni are involved in entrepreneurial
pursuits, according to Dr. Clifton B.
Cox, Chairman of the World Business
Department.
With that in mind, Thunderbird
Magazine sampled some successful
Tbird entrepreneurs to hear their stories
and discover how and why they chose to
blaze their own trails. The account that
follows may be of interest to alumni
considering a transition into the risky
but appealing world of the entrepreneur.
Twenty men and two women responded
to a series of questions on their
background and professional pursuits
posed to them lryThunderbird Magazine
Seven of them operate businesses
2
abroad, while many more are based in
the U.S. but do a great deal of their work
in the international marketplace. All of
them are die-hard entrepreneurs who
can't imagine workingfor someone
else again.
Get the Training
Of the twenty-two alumni sharing
their experiences and inSights, nineteen
said they had concentrated on marketing
courses while at Thunderbird.
The other three said their focus had
been general management as well as
accounting and finance, and at least
one of them has felt a need for more
marketing coursework. Christine Wilfer
76, President of Elite Services International,
Inc., said "~ concentrated on
finance and accounting, but my experience
since graduation has been almost
exclUSively in accounting and general
management. I'm really sorry I didn't
take more marketing at Thunderbird~'
Armed with their Thunderbird
degree and a heavy dose of marketing,
these future entrepreneurs all joined
other companies after graduation.
Many went through extensive and
valuable training programs with the
likes of Colgate-Palmolive, Chrysler,
J.I. Case, and Ford Motor. All of them
maintain that their professional training
with other companies was critical
to the success of setting up their own
businesses. "Learn on their time and
money," said Jerome Firsty '57, President
of Firbeck Inc., a firm of manufacturing
representatives for school and office
supplies. Firsty worked for Avon,
Continental Can, and Hazel Bishop
prior to setting out on his own.
Take the Plunge
But had they all planned someday
to foresake the big corporate world to
chart their own course? Interestingly,
only half said they knew from the
outset that one day they wanted to run
their own show. Many felt like Dennis
Oshiro 72 who says, "Originally, it
was my intention to remain in a large
organization to prOVide security for
my wife and two children~' Oshiro,
who runs a professional consulting
firm, International Business Resources,
Inc., decided in the end, that he could
better proVide for the needs of his
family on his own.
Stephen Hall '69, President of Food
Marketing International, Inc., decided
to become an entrepreneur while
attending Thunderbird. For many
others, however, the transition to the
entrepreneurial world was accompanied
by a major transition in their
personal lives: divorce, children growing
"Lee Importers Ltd. gave me the
opportunity to travel all over

company"

up, death in the family, loss of job. Others
fOUli.d the frustration with corporate
red tape and in-house politics, along
with the allure of greener pastures,
was enough to make them take the leap.
Donald Schroeder '57, who in 1983
sold his tractor company to J,I. Case
(Tenneco) remembers, "I had not
planned on starting my own business,
but I got tired of making millionaires
in various countries and I thought
I'd try it myself~'
Many of the Tbirds we talked to like
Charles Shields 71, President of Shields
Corporations, were inspired by the
success of others. "I always wanted
to go out on my own, and after seeing
the successes of German, French,
English and Swedish entrepreneurs and
working for them, I was convinced
I could do it too~' This kind of conviction
and confidence was a critical factor
for each of the alumni interviewed.
GeraldMirkin '47, President of
Mirkin Motor Sales, remembers the
choice of going out on his own related
to two factors: lithe desire to provide
well for my wife and children and
the confidence I could do well on my
own~' As all of these entrepreneurs will
testify, if you don't believe in yourself
and your project, you're doomed from
the start.
Enjoy the Rewards
Once the transition is made, the
advantages of being your own boss
become very evident. Lianne Sorkin 72,
President of Sorkin Associates, an
independent business consulting firm
in New York, sees the advantages very
dearly after a number of years with
Metropolitan Life Insurance. She sees
it as lithe flexibility to choose your
work and chart your own career path~'
john G. Hoyt '56, takes a practical
view of the advantages, which for him
as President of Freedom Yachts in
Newport, Rhode Island, means lithe
ability to quickly translate ideas into
products~' Many of his fellow Tbird
entrepreneurs echoed the sentiment
that personal creativity is no longer
stifled by corporate red tape.
When asked directly about the
advantages of being their own boss, the
THUNDERBIRD MAGAZINE WINTER '84/'85
James Kohl, President of ETEK Electronics Corporation, reviews a shipment for Brazil. Says
Kohl, "The ability to create an organization to serve customers in the manner I believe in ... gives
great satisfaction.
word "freedom" was used most often
to describe the positive factors of
entrepreneurship. For Charles Muse '50,
President of Intergraphic, Inc. in
Panama, it's the "freedom to dream
and experirnent:' For William Pennel '64,
President of Intercontinental Motors
in Houston, it's the "freedom of operations~'
And for Donald Schroeder '57,
retired President of Frontier Tractor,
it's the "freedom to put your ideas
into motion~' john]. Madison '67,
President ofJohnJ. Madison Inc. in
California, says it's the "freedom
to explore other avenues of interest,
Christine Wilfer '76, President of Elite Services
International, Inc., didn't meet success the
first time out. "My first venture ... was a consulting
firm based in Fairbanks. Admittedly not
having done my market research, the business
was very short-lived; most of these
people had gone to Alaska to do their own
thing and were not about to listen to anybody
else tell them how to run their show!"
personally and professionally' And
james Stanley '53, President of
Fuertejidos, S.A. in San Jose, Costa Rica
thrives on the "freedom of schedule
and lifestyle~'
Accept the Challenges
Diego Veitia '66, President ofInternational
Assets Advisory Corporation
in Winter Park, Florida agrees with
Stanley, but says the "advantage is
sometimes paradoxical, for even though
there is individual time available,
those of us who run our own companies
seldom exercise such options~' Veitia

"When my first big client
delayed paying his bill almost
two months because of his cash
flow problems, I was left with
less than 30 percent of my
working capital, and feeling the
spectre of impending doom:'
Gregor]. Hargrett '68
President
Overseas Duty Free Supply Corp.
maintains that most successful entrepreneurs
"are tougher on themselves
than others would be on them had
they remained in corporate structure:'
The problem that Veitia alludes
to was identified as the "buck stops
here" syndrome, by Harriet Weaver, wife
of the late Jesse 0. Weaver '58. The
Weavers spent more than 30 years in
Paraguay; most of the time operating
their own businesses, and they have
enjoyed the advantages as well as

for export to Venezuela. Says Cozzetto, "Most important, I believe, is the satisfaction of embarking As Stephen Hall puts it, lithe tyranny

planning!' specifically; Gregor Hargrett '68,

Lianne Sorkin '72, President of Sorkin Associates,

about "International Entrepreneurship!'
William O. Pennel,Jr. '64, President ofIntercontinental
Motors, Inc., in Houston is a diehard
entrepreneur who had always planned
to go out on his own. Says Pennel, "Spending
eleven years with large corporations proved
I was right from the start!'
President of Overseas Duty Free Supply
Diego J. Veitia '66, President oflnternational
Assets Advisory Corporation in Winter Park,
Florida, looks at the sometimes rocky road
of the entrepreneur with a philosophical and
yet humorous edge. Says Veitia, "Some of
our experiences have been difficult, but we
have been able to learn from them. Like
Nietzsche said, 'Any experience that doesn't
kill you, makes you a better man!"
in Miami, Florida, identifies it as lithe
devotion, actually overdevotion, to
serving clients well. In a small company;
everything becomes very personal
and so you work very hard to keep
clients satisfied. It tires:'
There are, of course, other disadvantages,
not the least of them being
financial. Paul Donnelly '67, is involved
in several entrepreneurial pursuits
in Caracas, Venezuela. He says he has
experienced several failures as an
independent businessman and has
found that lithe biggest disadvantage
THUNDERBIRD MAGAZINE WINTER '84/'85
is the lack of working capital to continue
operations without too much
internal turbulence:' Peter R. Cozzetto
'52, President of C~sco Export, Inc.,
says simply "you have to prepare for
the feast and famine cycle:' According
to John Madison, "One of the biggest
disadvantages is having to secure your
company's business loans through
your personal assets. Commerical
banks make it a practice of requiring,
from the owners of closely held
corporations, continual guarantees:'
For some, the right "timing" minimized
some of the disadvantages.
James Kohl 71, President ofETEK
Electronics Corporation, was one who
found the right time critical in his
move. "Timing was very important both
personally, because I was ready to
return to the U.S., and economically,
since the explosive growth of Latin
American high-tech industries was
demanding qualified electronics
exporters in the US'
According to Christy Peake '79,
President of Robot Defense Systems,
Inc., timing is also a crucial factor in
his industry. "Most of the major
defense contractors are only now
developing plans ... By being small,
focused, and pragmatic, we have hardware
available where most companies
have only ideas:'
Deal with Disaster
Although all are successful now, that
doesn't mean these Tbirds didn't
struggle and make mistakes along the
way. Surviving the early years for most,
was very, very difficult. After that,
shifts in the economy, and sometimes
changes in the political climate of
the foreign countries in which they
were based, had a serious impact
on operations.
In 1969, for example, George Lee '58,
President of Lee Importers, Ltd., found
"In January 1983, Fujitsu sent
me to Japan to teach them how
to automate their electronic
interconnect operations!! An
American teaching the Japanese
about automation and
electronics!!"

before starting out-yet remain
flexible.
10. Develop long-range goals.

company is critica1.

with a good background in tax
accounting.
DON'T
1. Don't remove yourself from day to

the pulse of the operation.

According to Lee, the experience
was a terrific learning opportunity.
He took drastic steps. By reducing staff
from thirty to four and closing three
branch offices, the situation turned
around within a year.

before having all our finances secured.
It made times very hard ... ~' Five years
ago, however, his company won a contract
bid to do a traffic control system
for Seoul, Korea, beating out several
other large corporations. Pfafflin's
company is still the only recognized
supplier in that city and, with the
1988 OlympiC games in Seoul, they
expect to be very busy.
You're on Your Own
Nevertheless, when asked if they
would do it all again, the answer is a
resounding "Yes~' If anything, they
would have started earlier. However,
that's not to say they wouldn't do
things differently.
Stephen Hall says he would have
become tougher earlier. "In some ways,
business is war~' Likewise, Charles Muse
says he would "prune out dead wood
in personnel and chop off marginal
operations much more quicklY.' Perhaps
realism has colored some of the
idealism of the early days.
Clearly, experience has seasoned but
not deterred these entrepreneurs. To
some degree, they all share Dennis
Oshiro's philosophy of survival. "I like
to sink or swim on my own merits;'
says Oshiro. "I am not afraid to make
mistakes .... A mistake hurts, but it is
not the end of the world. I do not
expect to win all the time, just most
of the time~'
These Tbird entrepreneurs are doing
just that in big businesses and small
shops, alone or in groups, all over
the world.

Publishes
Getting Your Yen's Worlh: How to
Negotiate with japan, Inc. is a new book
by Dr. Robert Moran, Professor of
International Studies, published by Gulf
Publishing Company. The cover of
the book carries a warning, "This is not
just another book about 'inscrutable'
Japanese management. It is a success
formula for going head to head with
America's most competitive trading
partner~'
A reviewer for the Asian wall Street
Journal stated that the book, "while
aimed at Americans, contains tips that
can be helpful for any international
businessman .. .Its practical advice on
how to negotiate effectively in Japan
is extremely valuable.
Dr. Moran's most practical tips appear
in sections concerning 'ground rules'
for and 'secrets' of successful negotiation.
These deal with the importance
of personal relationships, the need
to gauge the degree of commitment
expressed by the Japanese to a particular
provision, the extreme cultural dissimilarity
in what each culture perceives
as 'acceptable' behavior and an understanding
of the vertically structured
interpersonal relationships in Japan:'
Copies of the book may be ordered
