What Makes a Successful Person?
Is it their education? Is it their intelligent? Is it because they come from a wealthy family? Is it because they are lucky? Is it because they are well connected to the right people?
Not all successful entrepreneurs have a great education, take Henry Ford for example; the founder of Ford Motor Company. Henry dropped out of school at the age of seventeen.
I am sure all of successful people are Intelligent. But I would boldly guess that very few of them are genius.
No, not all of them came from a wealthy family. Take Martha Stewart she was born in a middle class family. Yet, that didn’t stop her from building her empire.
Thomas Edison the inventor of the light bulb. He tried over two thousand times before he finally got a working light bulb. So, it wasn’t luck for him.
What about if you were born into slavery and orphaned at the age of seven like Madam Walker; the first self made female millionaire in America. She got her start by selling her own hair product door to door back in 1900’s. I would say most likely Walker wasn’t well connected to start with.
So what is it? What is the key to their success? The answer may be simpler than you think. Although some successful people might have the education, is a genius, came from wealthy home, have the best luck or well connected with the right people. In reality most successful people got their success without all of the above.
The real key to it all is that they take action! They are the doer! The money is in the doing! The success is in the doing… Despite what popular believes; knowledge is not the key. If you think about it, anyone of us can pick up the medical books, law books but that doesn’t make us doctors or lawyers. It is the doing that make one a doctor or lawyer.
So whatever your heart desires, don’t sit on the side line. You have got to put Action into it. You have got to do it. The Money, the payout…is all in the doing!
