Interested in case studies of entrepreneurs/success stories

[Brandon1981]

Hey everyone!

This is my first ACTUAL post other than my intro. Glad to be here

I'm looking for any resources that anyone knows of (good books, websites, whatever) that feature good case studies of various entrepreneurs and their stories. Obviously, I know that I can go to Wikipedia and research various companies and the people behind it. However, I'm mainly interested in books or sites dedicated to profiling the stories for the sake of learning. I'm talking things like...

• The personality traits of the people who start the companies
• The circumstances that lead to their ideas
• How they implemented these ideas and put them into action
• How the product caught on and gained momentum, and most importantly, why

Things like that. Are there any obvious books or resources of any kind that anyone knows of that I'm missing? Sorry if this has been discussed before. Thanks!
