Entrepreneurs- The Best Ten Most Flourishing Entrepreneurs in the 20th Century That We Should Research and Why

Selecting the top ten most successful entrepreneurs in the last century is very subjective. Some persons measure importance on net worth alone while others measure how meaningful the entrepreneur’s efforts have grown to be. The finest way to actually select the best group is to mix the two.

Following is a list of ten crazily successful entrepreneurs who are acknowledged as icons all over the world. Their lucrative accounts are nothing short of astonishing and are the material dreams are made of.

1. Bill Gates
2. Michael Dell
3. Larry Ellison
4. Ted Turner
5. Phil Knight
6. Vince McMahon
7. Rupert Murdoch
8. Steve Jobs
9. Oprah Winfrey
10. Martha Stewart

Reaching for the Stars

Why are these persons so successful? Why are they unique? What makes them shine? Whilst the products they present, their private lives, their upbringing and even their business approaches contrast greatly, all of these persons have established empires that will exist for a very long time. They are all self-developed persons that did not use a family name or exclusive favors to find success. They all possess a relentless drive to be successful.

Dreaming the Unachievable Dream

When we observe these persons to understand where their excellence rests and what we should be taught by them, there are some qualities that should be observed. Every one of them are real achievers. “No” simply isn’t an answer they will agree to, if they see something they think has to be “yes.” They are persistent and never renounce on their purpose. If a door closes on them, they simply discover another solution—even if they have to make up that solution!

Success in business has nothing whatsoever to do with salesmanship, little to do with a knowledge of your company’s products or services.

It is owing to some far more basic fundamental principles which will determine your success or failure at anything you do in life.

They are your A,B,C’s, Attitude, Belief and Consistency. Taking them in reverse order.

Consistency
We get up every morning, we brush our teeth wash, get dressed have breakfast. We are consistent in our actions. We do it every day. We need to do the same in being consistent with our tasks associated with our business for the days that we have chosen we are going to work, be it 1 or 7 days a week. We need the 6 marbles in our left pocket or left side of our bag and transfer 1 marble to the other side every time we have carried out a positive action i.e. seeing a customer, talking to someone about the business, etc. etc. We need to do it consistently. We need to have transferred all 6 marbles (better still 10) by the end of the day. We need to concentrate on the actions not on the result. I’ll repeat that, we need to concentrate on the actions not on the results.

When we go mountain climbing, if we would continually look at the summit we would soon trip up and fall. We need to concentrate on every step at a time, one after the other and as surely as the sun goes down we will reach our summit.
