The English Teacher Rejected by KFC Who Built China's $500 Billion Empire | Jack Ma's Untold Story

KFC rejected him. Harvard rejected him twice. 30 companies rejected him. But Jack Ma didn't quit—and that's how he built Alibaba, one of the most powerful companies on Earth. This is the untold story of how a $12-a-month English teacher with no tech background, no coding skills, and no connections went from complete obscurity to beating eBay, creating a payment system used by over a billion people, and changing commerce in China forever. What I learned spending two weeks deep-diving into Jack Ma's life: → How he learned English by befriending tourists at age 9 → Why he named his company Alibaba (genius strategy) → The 6-minute pitch that got him $20 million → How he beat eBay with zero resources using "crocodile vs. shark" strategy → Why he started Alipay without government permission → His "today, tomorrow, day after tomorrow" philosophy → Why he retired at 55 when he was at peak power Jack Ma's philosophy: "Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine. Most people die tomorrow evening." KEY LESSONS: Rejection is just information—use it as fuel You don't need to be the smartest, just the most persistent Solve real problems for real people Culture beats strategy every time Think 10 years ahead while everyone else thinks 10 days ahead The biggest risk is not taking any risk This is not just a story about building a tech company. This is about what's possible when you refuse to quit, when you believe in yourself more than anyone else does, and when you're willing to work harder than everyone around you. If an English teacher from China who was rejected by KFC can build a $500 billion empire, what's your excuse? 📚 MAIN SOURCE: "Alibaba: The House That Jack Ma Built" by Duncan Clark 📌 CONNECT WITH IKIGAI EMPIRES: Subscribe for more untold stories of the world's greatest entrepreneurs →    / @ikigaiempires   💬 What was your biggest takeaway from Jack Ma's story?
