Entrepreneurs

This entrepreneur is about Paul Beckett and how he was inspired. Blokart® was invented in 1999 by New Zealander Paul Beckett. A background in hang gliding and land sailing inspired Paul to build a serious wind-powered toy that was fun, fast and compact. From small beginnings tinkering in a Papamoa, NZ garage to nearly two decades of watching a backyard passion evolve into a global sport, the Blokart community now extends all over the world. This means past hobbies may help inspire you to do much for the future. 

Blokart continues to exceed our wildest expectations, connecting us with people we never expected who share our love of land sailing. For recreational riders, Blokart has become a versatile pastime that allows them to sail wherever the wind takes them. For our competitive racers, Blokart provides a chance to meet other sailors and compete on a level playing field under our One Design rules. And for families looking for a weekend thrill, our range of accessories means everyone can get in on the fun. We feel very fortunate to be part of this sailing revolution, and hope you join us—we know you'll enjoy the ride." Cheers, Paul, Matt & the Blokart team. (Beckett)

In My Opinion, the fact that they even stated that it has exceeded expectations shows luck and tons of trials and the human errors that come to this industry, and the reason why he started a business is that he was inspired by hang gliding and land sailing which then he, of course, was in it for his hobbies and for money because he loved what he was passionate about.
