Think BIG. Can you leverage what you do today? Most jobs are created by entrepreneurs. Some by government. Are you a businessman or a beancounter? :)
Pay attention to DETAILS. Don´t take any chances when building your business. Rome wasn't built in a day. That means the romans were very, very good at building stuff. They took time. So should you!
Build KNOWLEDGE. Go to school. Learn courses.
Get EXPERIENCE. Do something. Invest a little. Don´t sit and wait. Take action. Make a misstake and learn from it. Develop. Don´t waste your money - take calculated risks. All successful investors bet when the odds are in their favor. So should you.!
FOCUS. This drives you forward. What should you be doing right know? Read this? Think about your future? Moan about your past? Your mind is your greatest asset. Use it!
Learn to see OPPORTUNITY. Yes, it exists. Everywhere. Just look around. Train your mind to see the obvious. It is what differs the men from the mice.
Be LUCKY! Wait! Can I BE lucky? Luck is CREATED. That means you can actually create your own luck. But it takes hard work. And focus. Only the tedious will be succesful. Luck is when preparedness meets opportunity.
LUCK = PREPARE + OPPORTUNITY
Work hard to prepare. Learn to see opportunity. Be victorious.
(Simple but hard. In the same time.)
- Be PASSIONATE. All business is built around preparedness. Every businessman worth his name, rises early in the morning (5 o'clock) and then goes to work. They don´t have to work (for a living). They work because they LOVE IT.
Passion gives energy. Without energy you have NOTHING.
Be SMART! That means use your BRAIN. The most powerful computer on earth. Learn new things and use what you got (BIG successfactor).
And finally - NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER quit trying. Only quitters are losers.
Good luck!
