SHIINE Biz: Nuggets from Success Carriers (part 1)

 How would you feel when the boy next door whose parent couldn't afford his education twenty years ago employs you because you made a good result? Yes! The world kinda plays game at times. Of course we expect to be better, brighter and richer because we passed through a formal education, alas! History has proved us wrong as most of the richest entrepreneurs the world has ever know were either dropouts or they never had the opportunity.

Disclaimer: I will never advice that you quit school unless formal education isn't helpful to you any longer. Know your dream and everything it takes to achieve them and get to work!

I decided to 'call' on some of these rich people to give us what they know about each factors that leads to success. Read and enjoy!

1. DREAM/THINK

"I intend to be the richest man in the world" Howard Hughes

"All my life, people have said that I wasn't going to make it" Ted Turner

3. KNOWLEDGE

"The first year, I didn't have much capital so I did everything myself. I had to keep my overhead low by learning everything about running a business from accounting to fixing the gears of my equipment. I really started from the scratch" Li Ka Shing

4. HUNGER/FOCUS

"A good businessman must have nose for business the same way a journalist have nose for news. Once your eyes, ears, nose, heart and brain are trained on business, you sniff business opportunities everywhere" Orji Uzor Kalu
"I had to give it a full go and see what happened" Micheal Dell

10. NO EXCUSE

"When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. The choice is yours and yours alone...it is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure" Mary Kay Ash

These success nuggets can really go a long way of shaping your way to greatness. Though I believe to be yourself is a really nice and right thing to do, but learning from the experience of people who have made an irrefutable impact in the world is a be great thing to do. Don't fail your future!!!
