Have you ever Googled where to find an item to buy and up pops Alibaba.com? The website is legit and the CEO is a billionaire. It hasn't always been that way - back when he was an English teacher developing this website from his home. He believes anyone can be rich and offers "go big or go home" advice.

 

50-year old Alibaba CEO Jack Ma presented his idea of creating a website that allowed manufacturers in China (and now, worldwide) to sell products. The idea was presented to 24 of Jack's friends. 23 of those friends told him to drop the idea of creating Alibaba.com.

 

The website is now one of the biggest (if not the biggest) commerce websites in the world.

 

Have you ever had an idea that you thought would really work? Maybe you should jump back on that idea and make it work. Jack says people "lose out in life" because of these four main reasons:

  1. Being myopic to opportunity
  2. Looking down on opportunities
  3. Lacking understanding
  4. Failing to act quickly enough

 

He then says, "In this world, there are things that are deemed unfathomable, but there is nothing in this world that cannot be done. The depth of one's ambition determines the potential of one's future."

 

So, basically, GET TO IT!
