Billionaire’s 10 Keys To Success
May 27, 2012 16 Comments
1. Figure out what you’re so passionate about that you’d be happy doing it for 10 years, even if you never made any money from it. That’s what you should be doing.
2. Always be true to yourself.Figure out what your values are and live by them, in business and in life.
3.Think about what your definition of success really is. Is it externally driven or internally driven?
4. Rather than focus on work-life separation, focus on work-life integration.
5. Don’t network. Focus on building real relationships and friendships where the relationship itself is its own reward, instead of trying to get something out of the relationship to benefit your business or yourself.
6. Remember to maximize for happiness, not money or status.
7. Get ready for rejection.
8. If you do good, good will come back to you.
10. Successful people do all the things unsuccessful people don’t want to do.

Reblogged this on Life Coaching with Marie Wetmore and commented:
Advice from a billionaire, huh? It must be all about how to make money and pushing back others go get ahead, right?
Not so. This tips are not only about financial and career success, but also about personal success – success strategies that will help you at a holistic level.
I’m reblogging – this was originally blogged by wealthymatters (based on a list from ABC news).
You know you hit the nail on the head…..wealth need never be about ‘I win , you lose’…… after all if you have a home I need not be homeless.Some people compete out of habit but there is no no need for everyone else to do the same.The world has more than enough for all of us, as long as we use our imagination.If we’d just relax,accept that each of us has different talents and find ways of helping each other towards more,we’d all be so much more well off.
