Lessons from Working with Mark Zuckerberg 💡

When I first stepped into Facebook’s Palo Alto office, I wasn’t sure if I was in a startup or a frat house. Cables hung from the ceiling, and people rushed around. My first day kicked off with an unexpected meeting where Mark Zuckerberg, in true Zuckerberg fashion, welcomed me to Facebook with a candid message: “I just fired your boss, welcome to Facebook.”

Working at Facebook was both the best and the worst experience of my life. I was employee #30 and was let go nine months later. But the lessons I learned during that time were invaluable, helping me eventually build AppSumo into a $100 million company.

Here are the first 5 non-obvious lessons I picked up from working directly under Mark Zuckerberg: 🚀

1. Focus on ONE Goal: Mark’s laser focus was on growth. If an idea didn’t support the growth of Facebook, it wasn’t pursued.

2. Move Fast: At Facebook, we lived by the mantra “Move fast and break things.” Speed was our competitive edge.

3. Only Hire A-Players: Mark only wanted the best, hiring people he would want to work for.

4. Treat Employees Well: Facebook’s work environment was designed to attract and retain top talent.

5. Scratch Your Own Itch: Mark didn’t start Facebook to build a company but to solve a personal problem. The best businesses solve real problems that founders care about.

Let’s load up on knowledge before October starts. Happy reading!
