From Firing to Fortune: The Rise of Mike Bloomberg.

Billionaire Mike Bloomberg reflects on getting fired from Salomon Brothers, the investment bank where he held positions for 15 years, and how it affected his professional trajectory, ultimately turning him into an entrepreneurial success on Wall Street. The day after he was laid off, he started his own company, Bloomberg LP, based on an idea nearly everyone thought would fail: making financial information available to people, right on their desktops.
