Today’s Real-Life Success Story👇 The Rise of Canva: Melanie Perkins’ Journey Melanie Perkins, CEO of Canva, turned a simple idea into a $25 billion success. Growing up in Perth, Australia, she noticed how her classmates struggled with complex design tools. Inspired, she created Fusion Books, an online tool for yearbooks, which later evolved into Canva. Launching Canva wasn’t easy. Investors doubted a tech startup outside Silicon Valley. After countless rejections, Melanie’s persistence paid off when Bill Tai saw her potential. In 2013, Canva launched, offering easy drag-and-drop design tools. Today, over 135 million people use Canva, from teachers to entrepreneurs, proving that big dreams, persistence, and solving real-world problems can change the world. Key Takeaway: You don’t need to start in a big tech hub to make a big impact. Melanie’s story reminds us that persistence, solving real problems, and believing in your vision can lead to extraordinary success.
