Lets look at FACEBOOK and MYSPACE
College student start up to the value of $15 billion dollars!
Facebook was created by Mark Zuckerberg born in 1984 for college students to
share information online. At the time of Facebooks launch in 2004, Zuckerberg
was studying and later dropped out to work on building his company. Wise Move!
In 2006 Facebook opened its membership to all and in October
2007 Microsoft won a battle with Google and Yahoo to invest in Facebook. It is
said that Microsoft paid US 240 million for just a 1.6 percent stake or share.
The investment valued Facebook, which was three and a half years old at the time
at an incredible US 15 billion dollars.
Facebook has 200 million active members worldwide and this
number is growing. News corporation bought rival site MySpace for US 580 Million
dollars in 2005.
So, we are not suggesting every one
of us will make it as big as these guys, but it is important to know
what is possible and what made their businesses so valuable. You
cannot expect big outcomes if you do not give yourself permission to
think big.
Create your strategies and sytems
that allow you to be successful
Think Big and plan to succeed
Be your own boss!
