Jack Dorsey explains how recognizing fortunate situations led to the founding of Twitter and Square One of the most important skills for any entrepreneur is recognizing opportunities and acting on them. Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter and Square, shares valuable lessons about this. When Jack worked at Odeo, a failing podcasting startup, he had the idea for Twitter. Instead of keeping it to himself, he shared it with his talented teammates. Together, they built something incredible. Later, Square was born from another opportunity. Jack’s former boss, Jim McKelvey, lost a $2,000 sale because he couldn’t accept credit card payments for his glass-blowing business. Jack realized this was a problem worth solving. Within a month, they created a simple device that allowed phones to accept card payments. The lesson is simple: be aware of the opportunities around you and the people who can help you. Also, act on your ideas quickly. Write them down, make something small, and share it. Even if the idea doesn’t work immediately, it’s a step forward. Remember: Success starts with taking that first step!
