Why are some people more successful in life than others? Why do they achieve things faster? Am I just not smart enough? What do I need to do to chang
e my state of mind to become better? Creativity, imagination and innovation can contribute to a person’s success as much as your IQ or your connection through influential people.
Thanks to Warren Buffet and Steve Jobs I changed my way of thinking. I started to act and not only dream big but to also do everything I can to achieve it. Warren Buffet is as you all might know an American business magnate, investor, and philanthropist who serves as the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway and is one of the most successful investors worldwide.
Not only did I learn that it is okay not to have an opinion on everything, he also taught me to focus on maybe 3-4 things instead on wanting to be great at everything. Most of the people fail because they take on too much and can’t focus. They lose their passion too easily and get frustrated. Well, are there now some rules to success?! Kind of.
- Find your passion. Which means that you should love what you do, and you should be 100% behind your business, goal or whatever you want to do.
- Don’t care about what others say since there will always be haters or people who know it better.
- Knowledge is key, so grab that newspaper or read a book. But read.
- Hire well. Make an excellent choice on people you hire or are having in your circle since they can be your source of Inspiration.
- Have a margin on safety.
- Be competitive to grow or develop your products etc.
- Have a competitive advantage to stay successful.
- You want to be a successful person?! Then act like one and do the same thing.
- Show love and love yourself.
- Everyone’s personality is different so schedule your worktime how you like it. Some people like to have more meetings, other people like to work at home etc.
