Channel: Dan Lok

[0]
people ask me all the time who is my
[3]
role model who is the hero that I look
[6]
up to you what entrepreneurs do I follow
[8]
well I don't actually follow a lot of
[10]
other entrepreneurs I have a handful of
[13]
role models I look up to in the business
[16]
world and Jack Ma is definitely one of
[19]
them
[19]
you see I'm fortunate enough that I have
[22]
the ability to read Chinese all the
[25]
books every single book written by Jack
[28]
Ma with an about Jack Ma I have probably
[31]
read them maybe because his background
[33]
as a poor English teacher he's always
[35]
very compelling and persuasive and very
[40]
articulate a great public speaker a
[42]
visionary and me is a global educator
[45]
that teachers heart I could relate today
[47]
we're gonna talk about Jack Moss roots
[50]
of success remember my first time in
[53]
Time magazine they call me crazy Jack
[58]
and I think Kris is good and we are
[60]
crazy but we're not stupid so many
[63]
people I talked to at that time for Olly
[65]
play they say this is the stupidest idea
[68]
you have ever got but I think I don't
[71]
wear the stupid club as long as people
[73]
use it now we have 800 million people
[78]
using this Holly play well just like
[81]
when I was younger people think I'm
[84]
crazy and they think I'm brash and the
[87]
thing I live out of the box well when
[89]
you're successful then they call it
[92]
eccentric they call you old you know you
[94]
were so innovative right it is
[98]
difference between success and failure
[99]
when you're successful nobody cares all
[101]
your ideas they be being validated so I
[104]
totally agree with Jack I love what he
[105]
said when he said focus on a user as
[108]
long as you're focusing on a user your
[110]
customers and they love it that's all
[111]
that matters
[112]
sometimes all your competitors or the
[114]
other naysayers they don't quite
[116]
understand and they don't see your
[117]
vision I think opportunity is everywhere
[121]
honestly when people think about
[124]
internet is the future 10 years ago
[126]
internet was so good when nobody
[129]
believed internet was so good now
[131]
internet is so
[132]
because all the smart people go to
[134]
internet so you should go to the off
[136]
ground so I think when it comes to
[138]
opportunities I do believe in that
[140]
certain degree I think we create our own
[143]
opportunities but also being a good
[145]
entrepreneur being a visionary it's
[147]
being able to see the opportunities
[148]
before anyone else just like my other
[151]
videos I talked about the blue ocean how
[153]
do you create the blue ocean opportunity
[156]
identify that and take advantage of that
[158]
before anyone else this is one of the
[160]
secret source of Alibaba is that we have
[162]
a 49er 47% of the employees in our
[166]
company a woman and if any country any
[170]
company if you want make your company
[174]
excellent you should have hire more
[176]
women all the business like bad business
[180]
partnerships I've ever had in the past
[182]
they're all men
[183]
the ones that are very successful if
[185]
they are woman partners so and also I
[187]
wouldn't be where I am today without my
[189]
wife Jenny absolutely our company our
[192]
organization really its woman that has
[195]
all the major buying power in terms of
[199]
like husband and wife if I want to buy a
[202]
new house guess what I gotta talk to the
[203]
wife I'm buying a new car I gotta talk
[205]
to the wife right even though you might
[207]
think oh maybe the husband it's it's
[210]
bringing in the money well guess what
[211]
it's the wife that makes the buying
[213]
decision in closing in sales I teach all
[216]
my students sell to the wife the husband
[219]
can move forward without the wife saying
[221]
yes stell do the wife and the wife says
[223]
yes it's a done deal I believe one thing
[226]
when you have a cup of two or three
[229]
million dollars of that money you do not
[230]
belong to you we have 20 million dollars
[233]
you have a problems above the money
[235]
depreciations you buy this stock or that
[237]
stock when you have more than one
[239]
hundred million dollars 1 billion
[241]
dollars that money does not belong to
[243]
you it's the social responsibility
[245]
people trust you asking you to manage
[248]
the money better so that was the
[250]
thinking and then we decide we say we
[253]
should make a economy that is big enough
[257]
to eat with that economy we can enable
[261]
every young people every small business
[263]
every woman globally they want to global
[266]
by global sell global deliver global pay
[270]
and girl boat travel with the technology
[272]
we're giving we can create a hundred
[274]
million jobs for the world today we
[277]
create thirty three million jobs for
[279]
China
[280]
that's a so it's very very powerful and
[283]
I think in the beginning of my career at
[286]
first why I started my own business is
[289]
because I wanted to support my mom once
[292]
I have enough income coming in that I'm
[293]
able to support my mom
[295]
except for my families upon myself then
[297]
it's a belt kind of living the lifestyle
[300]
right I want their car on the house once
[303]
you also accomplish that then it goes
[306]
into something bigger now it's about the
[308]
company about the team right and then
[311]
once you get bigger than that then it's
[312]
about now solving bigger bigger problem
[315]
with me that's why if you study my work
[318]
if for my students you will know that
[321]
the way that I'm building my my
[323]
organization it's not just you know Dan
[326]
law organization it's about just
[329]
offering product and service really what
[331]
I am doing with everything that I do I'm
[333]
building an ecosystem where you help not
[337]
just yourself but the people around you
[339]
creating opportunities creating a better
[342]
lifestyle creating more abundance for
[345]
them because when you have the skill as
[347]
an entrepreneur you actually have the
[349]
skillset I absolutely this is something
[351]
far the most important lesson I learn
[353]
from from Jack mark it's thing bigger
[356]
and greater ecosystem Apple it's not a
[359]
cell phone company built an entire
[360]
ecosystem there helps the the
[363]
manufacturer to make money it helps the
[366]
vendor to make money it helps the epp
[368]
developer to make money it helps others
[370]
to make money right that's an ecosystem
[372]
it's not just one thing so that's
[375]
perfect
[377]
that is the innovation of the optic
[380]
colleagues of the people so I'm not
[383]
knowing the technology we had the best
[384]
technician we do not know the finance we
[386]
had it best earn we respect we work and
[389]
that really make the the business grow
[392]
business
[393]
is a team sports it's not a spot that
[396]
you play on your own because that
[397]
doesn't matter how good you are how
[399]
talented you are as a leader it is not
[402]
about you doing all the work it's it's
[405]
about you having the vision having know
[407]
exactly figure out what are the most
[409]
important critical drivers within a
[411]
business and then you find the team that
[414]
can execute that vision execute your
[416]
vision and turn that into reality myself
[434]
I may continue to make most of my money
[437]
serving small business individuals
[440]
people my students small percentage come
[444]
a big companies but a majority of my
[446]
wealth comes from working with a small
[449]
business we would love to have great
[453]
students from Tel Aviv from chin-hua or
[455]
Harvard but the most important is that
[458]
you find that people with the fighting
[460]
spirit learning sprit and this is with
[463]
high people for not because you which is
[465]
school your front o this I absolutely
[469]
totally agree because within within my
[473]
company we never hire based on resumes
[475]
we don't we don't look at the resumes
[477]
and we look at your attitude we look at
[479]
see the culture fit and what what
[481]
talents you can bring to the table or
[483]
skills we can also develop we can train
[485]
but attitude and culture that is number
[489]
one culture is the most important so it
[491]
doesn't matter if they're MBA or they
[493]
have a degree myself I never went to
[495]
university so there has nothing to do
[497]
with what what Jack was talking about
[500]
your learning spirit your the fighting
[502]
spirit their hunger anyone any skill
[504]
someone wants it badly they could
[506]
develop but I cannot teach them culture
[508]
and then year two thousand two three
[511]
four I spent a lot of time training our
[515]
people with the valley vision and
[519]
professionalism and then we've got more
[522]
managers more leaders than most of the
[525]
other startups
[526]
then we started to do better it's not
[529]
about business model later it's about
[533]
great valleys for the others and that
[537]
that is very good advice
[539]
for me technology might change your
[542]
product might change your your service
[545]
might change but if you have the right
[546]
people in place the right culture you
[549]
can work together as a team you can you
[551]
can pivot you can innovate you can adopt
[553]
so it's definitely it's people driven
[556]
it's customer centric when you are
[558]
focusing on the customer when you're
[560]
focusing on people focusing on your team
[563]
that's what makes the company grow and
[566]
that's what makes the company stay
[568]
that's how you can sustain that growth
[570]
the future of e-commerce is C to be
[574]
consumer to business the world is
[577]
changing is not a b2b it's not a b2c is
[580]
not a C to C is C to B consumer to
[582]
business because we have a large amount
[584]
of consumers the consumers can ask can
[588]
can can say I want a tailor-made I want
[591]
largest skill tournament and this make
[593]
the e-commerce in China fundamentally
[595]
changed I think this is the most
[597]
important tip out of all of them where
[601]
how you set direction for your company
[603]
meaning what does that mean is not be to
[606]
be is not be to say see the B meaning
[608]
that consumer is not they're more
[610]
demanding than ever that they they want
[613]
it the way that exactly they want it
[615]
they want to consume content exactly how
[618]
they want where they want from whatever
[620]
a technology or computer that they want
[623]
you know they they choose to to watch a
[626]
show without interruption without ads
[628]
they want to do that right they don't
[630]
need you want to watch it from the iPad
[631]
they want to watch it from the iPhone
[633]
they want to watch it from the TV they
[635]
want to be able to do that that it's
[637]
it's up to them they want to buy and
[639]
they want to consume on their own terms
[642]
meaning companies organizations we need
[645]
to be able to fulfill that need if you
[649]
are still going the model of oh you know
[652]
what this is what we have this is this
[654]
is what we created and you should buy
[655]
some demo
[657]
doesn't work people want to buy on their
[659]
own terms and they want to spend money
[661]
on their own terms so as a company as
[663]
your company organization how do you do
[666]
that even coca-cola you can see now one
[669]
of the very successful campaign that
[671]
they have done they personalized the
[672]
coca-cola with people's name you've seen
[674]
that before with the first name
[676]
why that's that's the now the the
[679]
personalization that's what's working
[681]
even it's fake as broad as coca-cola you
[684]
need to think about how do you custom
[687]
tailor the needs of your customers so
[691]
there you go those are the rules of
[693]
success from Jack Ma if you want to see
