Looking back, I think what got me through the toughest times was remembering as long as I was healthy, I knew I'd figure out a way to keep going.
Somerville, MA (PRWEB) August 28, 2014
Inc. Magazine has named InterRail, parent company of ItaliaRail, number 485 in its annual lauded list of the top 500 fastest growing privately-owned businesses in America. With 2013 revenues of 17.1 million and a three-year growth of 979%, the Massachusetts-based company is thrilled to have been chosen for this renowned listing.
The September 2014 issue, on newsstands now through November 30th, also contains a special feature on ItaliaRail CEO, Mike Fuller titled How I Went From CEO to Hot Dog Hawker … and Back.
In the exclusive article, Fuller discusses the many obstacles and fears he had to face in starting and making InterRail the successful internet travel company it is today. “I applied for loans at 10 big banks, and they all turned me down. Then First Commons Bank opened up around the corner from my house. I think it's pretty cool that their very first SBA loan funded a company that made the Inc. 500. Looking back, I think what got me through the toughest time was remembering that as long as I was healthy, I knew I'd figure out a way to keep going,” said Fuller.
Hard work and determination paid off as the company announced record sales in 2013 with new travel products in the works for introduction in 2014-15. The prestigious listing in Inc. Magazine, with past recipients including Yelp, Pandora and Zillow, is icing on the cake for a company fired up and enthusiastic about the future of online travel and the endless possibilities it presents.
