Jack Ma: A Lesson in Trust, Honor, and Shared Prosperity: Reinventing the Motivations of Commerce - Insight and Analysis Into the Life of Asia’s Richest Man
Jack Ma is the quintessential simpleton who has a big heart and wants everyone to share in prosperity. He comes from humble beginnings, had trouble getting to school, had trouble finding a job, but did everything right despite the forces that were arrayed against his intentions.
We all have that life where we feel the world just doesn’t value what we have to offer. Jack certainly felt that way, but eventually he found his stride.
Today he sits at the top of a global behemoth that boasts sales of $1 billion in the first five minutes of its annual sales event. It has almost half a billion active monthly buyers that get on its site to make purchases totalling more than 3 Trillion Yuan – or almost half a trillion Dollars. Jack’s company holds the record for IPO on the New York Stock Exchange - and that was in 2014.
This book is about the aspect of success that is unique to Jack and the circumstances that he was cultivated under. We are not all Jacks and we can’t copy his path to success, but we can emulate the areas of his success that come from the parts of him that mirror our own motivation and our own desires.
Jack Ma’s story is one that we need to read and understand so that we can put together our own sequence of actions that will yield our own successes.
This book takes you part of the way, the rest is up to you.

LOVABLE MA FAMILY
Wonderful all the way through. Have read all MacGregors, except for William Gates which is next, and this book, was my favorite so far.
