Old tip for such situation settle for less and accept a quiet, average life. But instead, Jack Ma gathered 18 people in his tiny apartment and told them they were going to change how the world trades. For the first three years, Alibaba made zero profit. He wasn’t a tech guy, he couldn't write a single line of code, and he had no big investors.
