Jack Ma Learned the Hard Way: Big Money Can Lead to Big Mistakes.

Jack Ma raised $5M for Alibaba and thought he was rich.

So he hired fancy executives from Fortune XXX companies. 

One said, “I only do marketing campaigns that cost $30M.” 

Jack only had $5M total.

That’s when he realized:
 
Big money doesn’t mean big success.

And you can’t put a Boeing engine on a tractor and expect it to fly.
