Example 2 from failure to success

Travis kalanick, the founder and CEO of Uber, a car taxi service, is different from ordinary Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. He is not a T-shirt and jeans, but a formal suit, but this atypical entrepreneur is likely to be the soul figure leading the next wave of technological innovation.

It is easy to take a taxi with Uber. Just open the dedicated App program on your mobile phone, you can see all the empty cars on the map, and then click the button to call a car. The driver's photo, name and contact number will be displayed on the screen immediately. The black-headed car has arrived, because the credit card information has been logged into the App, and users don't have to pay cash to get on and off, just like taking a private car.

However, in order to make consumers like gentlemen and ladies in an innovative way, they must be able to withstand the control from the competent authorities and the threat from local taxi operators, which is why Kalanick was recommended as CEO by other founders. "Anyone who knows my background knows that going to court is as familiar to me as going home." He said.

The venture went bankrupt.

Kalanick, 37, was born in Los Angeles. He can write programs in the sixth grade. He is a typical Silicon Valley kid. 1998 in his senior year, he dropped out of the computer engineering department of UCLA and co-founded the Scour website with his classmates to let netizens exchange music and movies. As you can imagine, like Napster and other music exchange websites in the United States, the first company he founded was accused of infringement by more than 30 large film and music companies, demanding compensation of 250 billion US dollars. Finally, he and his classmates were forced to sell the company, pay compensation and declare bankruptcy.

The frustration of shutting down Scour's website failed to defeat Kalanick. Most people who fought hard lawsuits became conservative from then on, but Kalanick was different, but he became tougher. "I belong to a relatively small group," he said. After this lesson, he was convinced that start-ups would always subvert the rules of inertia. If they were legally tenable, there was no need to give in.

3 1 year-old multi-millionaire

In 200 1 year, he made persistent efforts to set up RedSwoosh company in cooperation with friends, and adopted similar technology to reduce the network traffic burden for content providers. During this period, he couldn't afford to buy a house and lost money many times until the company gradually improved. In 2007, Kalanick sold RedSwoosh for170,000 USD. 3 1 year-old, become a multimillionaire.

Uber is a service that he and two friends launched in San Francisco on 20 10. They signed a contract with a car rental company to use the iPhone as a meter-jumping device so that high-end taxis can provide taxi service in their spare time. Four months after Uber went online, he knew the idea was successful because the company received an official document from San Francisco, ordering it to stop its business. Uber service jumped out of the traditional category, blurred the boundary between high-end car rental and cheap taxis, did not review the rates, and did not paint the vehicles with the prescribed colors, challenging the review system of the competent authorities, which led to the rise of traditional taxi companies.

After consulting with the lawyer, Karanick not only ignored the official document, but even called on netizens to sign a letter and launched an email feedback activity to the mayor's mailbox. In the end, the official documents ended in nothing, and Uber's black-headed car was still running around San Francisco. But when Uber entered other cities, it encountered similar obstacles in new york, Washington and Vancouver. At present, Uber is carrying out a * * * activity in Houston. "The city is only protecting local uncompetitive taxi operators." Karanick said.

We will all try the business transmitted by means of transportation.

His tenacity and patience were rewarded. Although Uber has never disclosed its revenue, All Things D, a technology website owned by The Wall Street Journal, estimates that the company's revenue this year will reach $6,543.8+$25 million. Kalanick didn't want to confirm this, but he proudly stressed that the outside world only estimated Uber's commission, not the total amount of hitchhiking. Uber's ice cream truck door-to-door service held in July this year sold tens of thousands of ice creams in one day, successfully demonstrating cross-industry service. "As long as it is a transportation business in the future, we will try it." He made no secret of his ambition to expand the company.

The third article about going from failure to success: write failure on the back.

There was a young man who dreamed of becoming an excellent racing driver since he was a child. When he was in the army, he used to drive a truck, which greatly helped his skilled driving skills.

After retiring, he chose to drive on the farm. After work, he still insisted on taking part in the skill training of an amateur racing team. Whenever there is an opportunity to meet a car race, he will try his best to participate. Because he can't get a good ranking, his racing income is almost zero, which also makes him owe a lot of debts.

That year, he took part in the Wisconsin car race. Halfway through the race, his car ranked third, and he is very likely to get a good place in this race.

Suddenly, two cars in front of him collided, and he quickly turned the steering wheel of the car to try to avoid them. But it failed after all, because the speed was too fast. As a result, he ran into the wall beside the driveway and the car stopped in flames. When he was rescued, his hand was burned and his nose was gone. The damage area of the body surface reached 40%. The doctor operated on him for seven hours before he was saved from death.

After the accident, although his life was saved, his hands shrank like chicken feet. The doctor told him, "You can't drive any more."

However, he did not lose confidence and despair. In order to realize that distant dream, he is determined to pay the price for success again. He underwent a series of skin transplants. In order to restore the flexibility of his fingers, he kept practicing grasping wooden strips with residual limbs every day, sometimes sweating with pain, but he persisted. He always believes in his ability. After the last operation, he returned to the farm, re-polished the calluses on his palms with a bulldozer, and continued to practice racing.

Only nine months later, he was in back in the game again! He took part in the charity racing competition for the first time. But he didn't win because his car accidentally put out the fire halfway. However, in the following 200-mile car race, he won the second place.

Two months later, he confidently drove into the stadium, or the stadium where the accident happened last time. After fierce competition, he finally won the 250-mile race

He is the legendary great American racing driver-Jimmy Harris. When Jimmy first faced the enthusiastic and crazy audience as a champion, he shed tears of excitement. One by one, some reporters surrounded him and asked him the same question: "What made you bounce back after that heavy blow?"

At this time, Jimmy is holding a poster picture of the game, which shows a racing car speeding against the sunrise. He didn't answer, just smiled and wrote a dignified sentence on the back of the picture with a black pen, and wrote a failure on the back. I believe I will succeed!
