If anyone knows what it takes to be successful, it’s these 22 entrepreneurs. Having built business empires, earned millions and secured fame for their achievements, it’s safe to say that they know a thing or two about how to achieve your goals.
We all want success, but how we define successful is different for each of us. While there’s yet to be a guaranteed formula for success, the next best thing is to look to those that have certainly achieved it.
So what do our entrepreneurial experts offer as their best advice?
Get out of your comfort zone. You’ll never grow if you are not prepared to get out of your comfort zone.
Say yes. Try new things and take new opportunities and you never know where they will lead you.
Work hard. It’s simple, hard work pays off. There’s no short-cut to success.
Be likeable. If people like you then they are going to want to work with you and help you along the way.
Lead. If you’re always focusing on your competition and what they are doing, how are you ever going to do anything different? Your main focus should always be your customer and this will allow you to become an industry leader.
Be passionate. You need to be willing to do what it takes to succeed and passion will drive you to success.
Be confident. Confidence will allow you to grab opportunities, but remember that over-confidence could be your downfall.
Don’t get complacent. When you achieve your goals, set yourself more. The hard work doesn’t end when you ‘make it’.
Look forward. Don’t waste your energy on regret, learn from your mistakes and look forward.
Take risks. The only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.
