Melanie Perkins was rejected by over 100 VCs. Now, she's a tech billionaire, and her $26B startup, Canva, is ready to take on Microsoft and Google. Here are 5 motivational quotes from Melanie for any aspiring or current entrepreneur: 1) "Solve customer problems and make sure that the customer is representative of a large market and then you will have a pretty good formula." 2) "Anyone can have a solution but if no one cares about it, unfortunately, you are not going to have a very big company." 3) “The rejection is often not because of the reasons you think they are rejecting you.” 4) "Plant lots and lots of seeds and hopefully one will grow!" 5) “If you are determined and want it, you can just go for it.” *** That's a wrap. Hope you enjoyed these inspirational quotes from Melanie. If you did: 1. Follow me @arjunmahadevan for more on launching your LLC from anywhere in the world 2.
