Success Tips From Forbes Billionaires

[MisterX]

I followed the "Forbes 400" link Andrew posted on the forum a couple of days ago and it's a great article/interview - 20 questions answered by 14 Billionaires from the list. link

You'll find some cool info there, but if you don't want to browse through it all, here's the juiciest part, their answers to "What is your advice to young entrepreneurs?".

Find and follow your passions; develop a culture and live it. Positive financial
results will flow from that.

You are the next wave, and all of our shoes will be filled by someone. It may as well be YOU. Never give up trying.

Identify where you have or can create an edge over the rest of the world and doing something you enjoy. Then push that advantage to extremes.

Everyone has the will to succeed, only those with the will to prepare do.

Never give up, and have a positive reaction to failure.

Be curious. And ... the more you give, the more you get. It’s as simple as that.

Learn the business from the ground floor up – not from the top floor down.

Have a passion for what you do, work hard, have great people with good personalities, enjoy the ride, but balance work and family.

Identify and affiliate with creative talent. Brainstorm concepts and analyze constantly, but at the conceptual level, not the spreadsheet level.

Ask lots of questions! And, when and if you get the chance to travel, always look for new ideas to bring home! Set your goals and never give up!

Accumulate a lot of singles and gradually get into the doubles and triples before you try for the home runs.

To succeed, you have to put in the hours and when you think you are there, put in more.

Have great focus, set high but achievable goals and work EXTREMELY hard at achieving them. Be flexible and ready to adapt to change.

Listen to yourself. Be guided by your real passions and convictions, not just by what you think might get you ahead in life.

Great list!
We should put this on our walls and look at it every morning before we start working heh.
Personally, I like this one a lot:
"Everyone has the will to succeed, only those with the will to prepare do."
Everything is about state-of-mind, this is were everything starts regarding my opinion! At the same time this my worst enemy as well. :angryfire:
If you believe, work very hard, are willing to learn you will SUCCEED!!
