He met Larry Page at Stanford University and they started Google in a simple dorm room. Today, Google makes billions of dollars every year and helps people find information all over the world. Sergey is now one of the richest people alive, but he started with just an idea and a lot of hard work. In this video, he shares his top rules for success so you can learn how to build your own dreams. ✎ You will hear Sergey talk about why you need to be ambitious and try to solve big problems. He tells a funny story about his first idea to order pizza using fax machines, which did not work at all. He also shares the crazy story of how he and Larry almost sold their search engine to a company called Excite for only 1.6 million dollars. He explains that you must experiment with many ideas, trust your gut feelings, and find a great partner who thinks like you do. ✎ Sergey also gives advice on how to handle challenges like managing people and dealing with stress. He says it is important to ignore the noise from other people and focus on finding work that you really enjoy. He believes you should take risks, and if you fail, you should fail quickly so you can try again. Welcome to Believe Nation, the place where we help you believe in yourself.
