Brian Chesky learned a key lesson about entrepreneurship from a rejection email in 2008 when he was trying to raise money for Airbnb.
The rejection was one of many Chesky received while building Airbnb, which now has a market cap of nearly $80 billion.
Chesky highlighted the importance of believing in a different world than the current one and mentioned that most people have the skills to be entrepreneurs.
This lesson from the rejection email comes at a time when the job market, especially in the tech sector, remains challenging for young people.
