Jack Ma Lesson For Success #1

Now, most of us are psychologically intrigued by stories of unbelievable success, but we fail to discover and pay attention on what sets these strangers apart. We fail to recognize the journey it takes to arrive at the peak. There are literally a thousand and one ways to achieve success, but only a dozen or so reasons for complete and utter failure.

So what makes Jack Ma so different from the rest of the world’s 1%?

He started without any money, without any technology and without any plan.

 And yet the real factors that underpin Alibaba’s success today are its competitive edge in e-commerce, logistics and finance. What Jack describes as the “Iron Triangle”

Being the founder of China’s largest and best-known eCommerce enterprise, with an estimated net worth of over $35 billion, Jack is now the richest man in China, out of a population of 1.38 billion people.

That is no mean feat. Jack has simply followed a simple set of rules he crafted to allow himself to bend reality to such an extent that the universe starts to favor his plans.

 Jack has defied all traditional wisdom of starting a business in conservative China at a very difficult time but he ultimately won the respect and admiration of presidents, prime ministers, politicians, and fellow-entrepreneurs around the world with his openness, humility, dedication to constant improvement, and charming sense of humor.

His tact and diplomacy in his dealings with people from all walks of life have allowed him to forge partnerships with businesses, governments, and organizations both in China and beyond, making him one of the world’s truly influential people. From simple beginnings as a school teacher in Hangzhou, China, Jack has solely followed his dreams and built a business empire worth billions from the ground up with his own two hands.

Did you know that Jack was once paid with just $12 a freaking MONTH as an English teacher in Hangzhou, China? Here’s where it gets more interesting.
