3 business lessons from the Facebook owner.

Exploring before committing, finding people to share your passion with, and not trying to create something perfect right from the start are some of the lessons that led to Mark Zuckerberg's success.

Facebook, the most widely used social network today with a market capitalization of over $340 billion, was founded 13 years ago, starting with the idea of ​​"thefacebook.com" by 19-year-old student Mark Zuckerberg. Facebook has revolutionized how people connect and has inspired many young entrepreneurs.

Mark Zuckerberg has emerged as a pioneering entrepreneur in today's technology era. Many young people, in the process of building their own businesses, always want to learn from Zuckerberg's experience.

1. Explore before committing.

In a 2012 talk at the Y Combinator startup school, Zuckerberg stressed to founder Paul Graham that entrepreneurs need to be flexible, perceptive, and intensely passionate in everything they do.

“You can absolutely work within a company, but you’ll feel exhausted and locked inside.” This is also reflected in Zuckerberg’s first letter to shareholders. For him, Facebook was never meant to be a company. It was simply a hobby. Over time, it evolved into a business.

If you want to be an entrepreneur, you need good ideas. It's great if those ideas solve small problems. However, Zuckerberg believes it also needs to have a big impact on society. In a talk with a group of young people, Zuckerberg said that to make a big impact, you first need to change what you do. He encouraged them to explore, find what they love, and focus on it.

Lesson: Be open to learning new things, but only pursue what you love..

2. Don't try to be superhero.

Mistakes are valuable and necessary lessons in the development of every entrepreneur. During a live Q&A session, an eighth-grade boy asked Mark Zuckerberg how he overcame the daily challenges of Facebook's growth. He replied, "Nobody knows how to face everything. But if you can find a group of people, maybe friends or family…that’s really how you get through it."

Many people want to become entrepreneurs but are afraid of risks and mistakes. Zuckerberg believes that with strong support from those around you and like-minded individuals, every mistake is valued and becomes a valuable lesson."You don't have to become a superhero, you just need to keep going on your path."

Lesson learned: Starting a business is a long journey, and you shouldn't go it alone. Find people who share your passion.

3. Better done than perfect.

At Facebook's headquarters in Menlo Park, California, the slogan "better done than perfect" is printed on the interior walls as a company mantra. In other words, it's better to make something better than to make it perfect from the start.

After the IPO in 2012, Zuckerberg explained the philosophy behind the slogan as "The Hacker's Way." "Instead of arguing daily about whether a new idea is feasible or what the best way is to build something new, hackers just build something experimentally and see how it works."

In this way, Facebook creates a positive work culture that allows them to test their limits and say, "This will get better."

Lesson: Instead of trying to perfect something from the start, create it and continuously test and improve upon its limitations.
