Mark Zuckerberg: The Story of Facebook

✎ What's up, Believe Nation! Today we’re diving into the incredible story of Mark Zuckerberg and how he turned a simple college project into one of the world’s most powerful social networks, Facebook. Mark shares how Facebook started as a way for Harvard students to connect, not as a business idea. He didn’t set out to create a billion-dollar company; he just wanted to build something useful for his friends. As demand grew, Mark expanded Facebook to more schools, and the mission became clear: connect people all around the world. He reminds us that sometimes the best ideas come when you’re simply following your passion and solving real problems.

✎ Mark also opens up about one of his toughest decisions—turning down a billion-dollar offer from Yahoo to buy Facebook. Imagine the pressure! His investors and team were pushing him to sell, but Mark saw a bigger vision and chose to keep going. He had to stick to his mission, even when others doubted. This moment became a defining point, helping his team understand that Facebook was more than just a business; it was a movement. Mark’s story teaches us that belief in your purpose can be stronger than any outside pressure.

✎ Through all the challenges, Mark shows us the importance of resilience and learning from every setback. He’s honest about the mistakes he made, the people he lost, and the hard lessons along the way. But he never gave up, and that’s what made all the difference. If you’re starting out or facing doubts, remember Mark’s advice: stay committed to your vision and keep pushing through. Believe Nation, what’s your biggest takeaway from Mark’s story? Drop it in the comments, and let’s inspire each other!

"The biggest risk is not taking any risks at all." LOVE that.

Mark started a network to be helpful for his school and it turned into something worldwide. He has a motivational story that encourages us to "do something because it matters to us". Great video!

I have wanted to write a book and gave been having a hard time doing that but it has been my intuition telling me to do so and when I saw a couple titles on your channel I realized that I have always been able to work the environment to my advantage and how much of a skill that it really is to be able to absorb the environment around me to a degree and silently take the attention of the room. regardless I know what I want to write about now. but this video is actually amazing but that any of your videos have bored me. I have never left your channel uninspired. Today however though I have never heard Mark Zuckerberg talk but I did write about his choice in books for no reason at all I used his choice in books and the difference of our choice of which books to read. anyhow I think Mark that now after listening to the tone in your voice and your casualness towards things it's actually quite intriguing. which makes your personality even more inspiring. thank you and God bless. ...Krystal Marie Nymann

I also love "the biggest risk you can take is not taking any risks". Great video once again!

[karlamata-soto]

I like this. People have business all wrong. You don't decide to build a company and then start looking for what to build. You start with a need and fill that need and then build off of that.

making it their hobby and turning into a passion. having love and fun a community was key for it to grow smoothly

[marleyonaire]

wow finding the mission was the break point on the decision either to sell or work it. once you own the mission you add a whole lot of value to your company.

Hi Evan.. I'm not sure do have any video with Yolanda Adams 10 rules for success?

[melissalangwell]

One of the comments from the video that I can use in real life is: Not to fear making mistakes but to learn from those mistakes and press on.
