A Passion for Running Translates Into a Desire to Run a Successful Business
Eric Wallor is an avid marathon runner who is not only dedicated to qualifying for the US Olympic Trials in the marathon, but who has also built an online book selling business from scratch as a young entrepreneur.
Chicago, IL, February 01, 2012 --(PR.com)-- It’s not often that you see someone so dedicated and driven by his or her passion to run long distance marathons. Eric Wallor of Palatine, Illinois is one of those people. He took up long-distance running during his high school years, and you could say that he has been addicted to it ever since. Running marathons competitively has given rise to his triumphant goal of qualifying to run in the Olympic Trials, a time of 2 hours and 19 minutes required to achieve such a feat. And with such a monumental task comes his extreme dedication, often running twice a day, over 100 miles a week during peak training preparation. Few would expect to have time to do anything else.
Eric has managed to not only juggle a full-time professional running career, but also build a new business from the ground up as a young entrepreneur. Over the last two years, he has grown a book selling business into a book buying, book selling and online marketplace where people can sell their books. He appropriately named his new venture after his passion, Marathon Books.
Eric says, “When people think of Marathon Books, I want them to think of the same qualities that a marathon runner requires: endurance, character, the ability to overcome limitations, positive attitude, and completing a goal from start to finish.”
Marathon Books uses the mantra, “Buy. Sell. Marketplace.” It is a new website that is geared towards college students, parents and teachers where they can buy and sell textbooks and books for cash. While Marathon Books offers service to customers nationwide, Chicago area customers get the benefit of a one-of-a-kind service in which they offer a direct delivery/pick-up service. The marketplace allows online sellers to sell their books to others at an industry-low 15% fee, which allows them to keep more of their profits.
Marathon Books essentially provides people the opportunity to buy more affordable books, get more money when selling their books, and eliminating the clutter of books from their possessions. It is especially beneficial for cash-strapped college students and parents, in which they can buy used books at a much cheaper rate than college bookstores, and receive more money for their books when it is time to exchange for new ones.
