He was born in New York City and grew up in Chicago with his aunt. Money was very tight for him as a teenager, so he worked jobs like mowing lawns and washing dishes to pay for school. Even though his father told him he would never amount to anything, Larry used that as fuel to work harder. He eventually taught himself how to code and moved to California to find a better life in the tech world. ✎ In 1977, Larry Ellison co-founded Oracle with his partners Bob Miner and Ed Oats. They started the company with only two thousand dollars and worked out of a tiny office. At first, many experts and investors doubted them and said no one would pay for their database software. Their big break came when IBM decided to use their product, which proved to the world that their technology really worked. Even when the company almost went bankrupt in 1990, Larry refused to quit and led his team back to the top of the software industry. ✎ Today, Larry Ellison has a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars and has even competed with Elon Musk for the title of the richest person on earth. The video shows how his grit and self-study helped him build a company worth nearly a trillion dollars. It explains that you do not need a college degree to be a success if you are willing to learn on your own and believe in your big ideas. This story is a great example of how someone can start with nothing and reach the very top of the world by never giving up. ★ BOOKS ★ • Momentum: https://amzn.to/3kJZIAv • Build to Serve: https://amzn.to/3XZiCSg • Your One Word: https://amzn.to/3R9qVII • The Top 10 Rules for Success: https://amzn.to/3JcNZVe • 254 Confidence: https://amzn.to/3jdh9c2 ★ RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU ★ If you liked this video, you'll love these ones: • Why You’re Smart, But Not Successful - https://youtu.be/9cEOg10b_jI • Believe in Yourself: Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Story - https://youtu.be/Ot6WJItV928 • What’s One Thing Every Entrepreneur Should Focus on in the Early Stage of Building Their Business? - https://youtu.be/Hi1nVIiavXY ⚑ SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL ⚑ If you want to do great things you need to have a great environment.
