When closely studying successful people, you realize that each story is unique. Each person has his or her one quirks, success habits, turning points and failures. How they get to the destination of success often varies quite a bit. Once they arrive there, however, they start to have similar perspectives. They also tend to agree on their advice for those launching a brand and starting a business.
Here are the top five keys to success when you're just getting started, from some of the most successful people in the world.
1 Learn as much as you can.
Over and over again,t hose who are now successful credit their success to diligent study, fierce curiosity and wise teachers or mentors.
“Be a student of personal development and business development. Connect with people who have been there and listened to their advice.” -- Chalene Johnson, New York Times bestselling author and celebrity fitness mogul
2. Believe in yourself.
Henry Ford said whether you believe you can or you can’t, you’re right. The successors agree, and they encourage dreamers to dream big.
“You have to raise your ambition beyond where you're capable of now. There's nothing about my hometown that said I'd be working with an Oprah or an Usher or Fortune 50 CEOs, Olympians -- the highest level.” -- Brendon Burchard, New York Times bestselling author and international speaker
3. Be patient.
When studying the massively successful, you realize that a “big break” usually comes after years, sometimes decades, of diligent effort.
“Patience. You’re not retiring tomorrow. You can make some quick dimes, but you've lost out on long-term dollars.” -- Gary Vaynerchuk, New York Times bestselling author and CEO and founder of Vaynermedia
4. Be willing to take risks and make mistakes.
If you learn to love learning, you’ll see that mistakes are part of the process. Successful people often don’t believe in failures. Failures are just lessons on how to improve.
“Every time you push through failure, there’s always some prize for you on the other side. So all you have to do is keep doing it,” -- Barbara Corcoran, real estate mogul and star of ABC’s Shark Tank
“It’s OK to make mistakes. Just keep making stuff. Being passive is the hardest thing.” -- Chelsea Peretti, comedian and star of Fox’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine
5. Commit and put in the work.
Commitment, consistency and follow-through is one of the many keys to success
”Show up, even if you don’t know what to do, and something will happen. Do the simple things -- call a customer, call someone you want to be a customer, call somebody who will support you.” -- Grant Cardone
