Rejected 400+ Times. Now Runs a $100 Billion+ Company. Let's Talk About Nikesh Arora's Insane Resilience! 🔥 For anyone who's ever faced rejection, this story is for you. Just read a piece in The Indian Express about Nikesh Arora, the CEO of cybersecurity giant Palo Alto Networks. After graduating, he was reportedly rejected over 400 times for a job. Yes, 400. He even kept the rejection letters as motivation! Today, he leads a company that has grown from an $18 billion valuation to over $100 billion under his leadership. This journey is a masterclass in what it truly takes to succeed. My key takeaways: 💪 Rejection is Fuel, Not a Full Stop: Most people would give up after 10 rejections, let alone 400. Using failure as motivation instead of a verdict on your worth is a superpower. 🚀 Your Start Doesn't Define Your Finish: His career didn't begin with a glamorous launch. It started with mass rejection, followed by a breakthrough at Fidelity, then scaling at Google, and now, phenomenal leadership at Palo Alto Networks. 📈 Build a Track Record of Value: Before taking the top job, he played a key role in growing Google's revenue from $2B to over $60B. He didn't just get the job; he earned it by proving he could build and scale. ⏳ SUCCESS IS A MARATHON, Not a Sprint: This story spans decades. It's a powerful reminder in our world of instant gratification that true, massive success is almost always the result of long-term, persistent effort. Stories like Nikesh Arora's completely redefine our understanding of failure and perseverance. It puts the "no" you got last week into perspective, doesn't it? What's a story of resilience that keeps you going when you face a tough rejection? Let's share some inspiration.
