W – TAW – TAW

JennaEver feel like you’re completely stressed out or inundated with responsibilities? Whether you’re busy working or replying to the many messages your 500 fans left you, we all sometimes feel the pressure to produce more than is expected of us. Here at FanBox we have a special way of looking at situations like these. We live by the concept of “Where There’s A Will, There’s A Way;” also known as W-TAW-TAW for short.

This idea originated during the humble beginnings of our company. The FanBox founders started the website very modestly; working with broken computers out of the CEO’s condo for no salary at all. Many people called them insane to dedicate so much of their lives to a “crazy idea,” but they always pushed through the hard times and rose above the challenges. Their dedication eventually paid off when they made history by signing up nearly 6 million users in its first six months of the SMS.ac website -- making it the fastest product launch in Internet history. Today FanBox has more than 80 employees and we’re located in a comfortable two-story building in downtown San Diego (definitely an upgrade from the condo).

This perseverance and dedication truly embodies the W-TAW-TAW spirit. I hope that you can use this core value of ours in your personal life…. If someone ever doubts you or your dreams, just know that there is no such thing as impossible.
