Bob Adams has started and operated many small businesses--some successful and some Not so successful.
These include a house painting business, a job fair business, an employment agency, a dinghy manufacturing business, a bicycle rental business, a boat brokerage firm, a tourist map business, a phone directory business, a college newspaper,
a classified advertising newspaper, a book publishing business, a magazine publishing business, an online information service, and a software publishing business.
A number of these ventures have become profitable and ongoing enterprises, while others Adams had to shut down. In the long run, he has lost thousands, but made millions. Bob Adams started his current business, Adams Media Corporation, 20 years ago in a small basement apartment in Boston. While still in school, he made an initial $2,000 investment to publish the Boston JobBank--a job search reference guide for Boston's thousands of students. The company is now a $10 million a year enterprise. Adams is a 1980 graduate of the Harvard Business School, where he received first year honors. He earned his B.A. from Carleton College and his streetwise training in the real world of small business and "the school of hard knocks."
