Success Requires Patience - Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett is one of the best investors in history. He started investing at the age of 10, and today his net worth is about 146.7 billion dollars. That’s crazy, but do you know 99 percent of his net worth was earned after his 50th birthday? Imagine in his 20s and 30s how he controlled himself, waited, and invested that money. Think about the patience of Warren Buffett — straight 40 to 50 years. Other entrepreneurs also waited for years to be successful. The biggest example is Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon. It took 7 years for Jeff Bezos to get his business, Amazon, to make money.
Success requires time and work. It is not a game of overnight success. Never think you can be rich in a day or a month. First, you need a lot of experience and learning from mistakes and becoming better every day to achieve the day you want.
Introvert Needs Mindset - Elon Musk
This new generation is becoming introverted because they are mostly indoors and on phones. They don’t want to talk to anyone, or they are shy. But not only this generation — old generation people were also introverted. Take the example of Elon Musk, who was shy and didn’t want to work under a boss, so he started his own company. If your will and mindset are strong, then nothing can stop you. He sold that company for millions of dollars.
Sacrifice Your Needs - Alex Hormozi
Alex Hormozi is a USA entrepreneur with a net worth of 100 million dollars, but behind this, there was a lot of hustle. Alex Hormozi sacrificed a lot for his business. Imagine he left his home and slept in his gym, which was below a parking area. At night, he couldn’t even get quality sleep due to the noise of passing cars. He sacrificed his needs and much
more, but despite all problems, he carried on — and now the result is in front of you.
Other entrepreneurs’ journeys are also not a cup of tea. Elon Musk, the wealthiest man today, shared a room with a guy for two straight years. Becoming a millionaire or billionaire is not a cup of tea. Look at yourself — if you don’t want to come out of your comfort zone, if instead of getting a bus you order a taxi, then if you can’t survive this, how can you reach that level?
No Work Is Big or Small - Neil Patel
The moral of the story: just start from anything. No work is small or big. You have to earn money and experience. Jeff Bezos was a cook, and Ben Francis, the founder of Gymshark, was a delivery boy. Never wait for the perfect time — just start.
Consistency Without Results - Jeff Bezos
One Man Can Build an Empire - Ben Francis
The thing is, Ben never focused on results; he focused on the system, and that’s the reason behind his massive success. He was all alone, but later his friends joined him after they saw Gymshark growing very fast. So, you don’t need a team for a big startup — even in this new era, there is AI to help. Now anyone can make a million-dollar company depending on their skills and ability.
Find the Gap - Shahid Khan
After this, he left the company and started making his own product, which succeeded very well. Within some years, he bought the company he used to work for. Now, in the USA, every 3 out of 1 car has Shahid Khan’s company bumper on it. Other entrepreneurs also found gaps — like Ben Francis, who found there were no proper gym fits, and he filled that gap with Gymshark. Find the gap nobody else has thought of.
Turn Vision Into Reality - Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs had a vision and worked hard to make it a reality. You may say he wasn’t the first to introduce a touchscreen phone or smartphone, but his vision was a small pocket-sized computer. Wasn’t the iPhone as powerful as a computer? Make your idea exist. Turn what seems impossible into reality. Think — when the TV was invented, could people imagine seeing moving pictures in a box? Obviously not.
Now you are living in a high-tech world. Don’t speak much for your work — let your work speak for you.
Reverse the Chain - Dhirubhai Ambani
Dhirubhai did not want to depend on suppliers, so he started producing his own polyester yarn. But that was not enough, so he started a chemical manufacturing industry for the key chemicals used to make polyester yarn. Later, he also invested in the petrochemical sector. He built plants for naphtha cracking (turning crude oil derivatives into chemicals), so he didn’t need to buy chemicals. This was a smart strategy by Dhirubhai, which not only helped him earn higher margins but also ensured a diversified future income.
Be a Problem Solver - Alexandr Wang
Find the Future - Bill Gates
Bill wasn’t alone in seeing computers as the future — Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle, also saw that the tech industry would grow, and now he is one of the richest men. That was when the internet was booming. Well, right now, entrepreneurs are also looking at the future and finding success — the biggest example is AI. You might think the AI idea came 1 or 2 years ago, but trust me, those who knew it were working on it long ago. See the future, not trends. Always think long-term.
Don’t Let Opportunities Go Away - Mark Zuckerberg
One more time, Mark didn’t let Facebook slip from his hands — when Yahoo offered him 1 billion dollars to buy Facebook, many workers in Facebook favored the offer, but Mark refused because he knew the future potential of Facebook. Now, the result is in front of you — 3 billion users of Facebook are active.
Mark not only kept Facebook but also bought Instagram and WhatsApp. On the other hand, the person who founded Instagram could have been at the same stage as Mark, but he disappeared after selling it. He also had the potential to grow Instagram, but he sold it to Mark.
Analyze Your Competitor - Sam Walton
You might have heard a famous quote: “You have to compete with yourself.” That’s true for personal growth — but for business growth, you have to surpass your competitors for a bigger market share.
The Art of Reinvesting - Sam Walton
As I told you before, Sam Walton is one of the best businessmen and you should learn from him. When Sam became the world’s richest man, many interviewers went to him. They expected that Sam (the richest man of that time) lived in a big mansion with expensive cars in his garage. But when they saw his lifestyle, they were stunned. Sam lived a simple life. His house wasn’t that expensive, and what did he drive? A truck with a cage in the back for his dogs.
Sam mainly reinvested his money in Walmart. As a result, before he died, he was able to open 1,000+ stores all over the USA in just 30 years. Now, I’m not saying don’t spend a penny on yourself — divide your income like Iman Gadhzhi, a millionaire who spends 30% on himself and invests 70% back.
Age Doesn’t Matter - KFC Founder
“I’m very old” — didn’t Harland found KFC and become a millionaire at an old age? “I’m too young” — didn’t Ben Francis found Gymshark at 19 years old and Iman Gadzhi start his agency at 17?
Sell Shovels to Mine the Gold - Jensen Huang
Nvidia is not alone in using this strategy — Oracle, the famous company founded by Larry Ellison, also sells “shovels to miners.” For example, when all companies were rushing to make viral apps and startups, Oracle provided the tools for them to build their products.
Mindset Only Matters - Mark Tilbury
Never Get Your Lifestyle High - Sam Walton
Another lesson from Sam Walton is not to raise your lifestyle too high. An important chapter in The Psychology of Money teaches us that the fastest way to lose money is to spend money to show people how rich you are. As I told you before, Sam lived a simple life and invested most of his income.
Today’s world billionaires also do the same. Do Bill Gates and Warren Buffett spend a lot of money even though they have unimaginable wealth? No, they don’t. Never spend too much if it isn’t meaningful. They don’t need to wear branded clothes or drive branded cars — they are brands themselves. Make your identity like that.
When your expenses are higher than your profit, that’s a negative sign of your financial condition — and that’s the beginning of downfall.
Don’t Depend on a Single Cash Flow - Iman Gadzhi
Iman Gadzhi is a young entrepreneur with over 80 million dollars net worth. Iman got his career boost in 2017 when digital marketing was trending. He made thousands of dollars through it, but he was also investing in other things because he knew that one day digital marketing agencies would not make much money — and the same happened.
He wound up his agency, but now he has multiple income sources such as a software company, glasses brand, social media earnings, paid courses, and more. Iman is not the only one — every clever entrepreneur has diversified earning methods to reduce risk. For example, Mark Tilbury has his own company as well as retail stores, and he invests in real estate and stocks.
A single supply can’t fulfill every need — sometimes it gets short, then who will fulfill the need?
No Excuse to Start - Google Owners
You know about the search engine you use today — Google. It was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They started their work in their friend’s garage — can you even digest this? A trillion-dollar company was started in a garage!
There could have been many excuses for them to quit — no proper setup and no funding in the beginning. But they ignored all that. In their eyes, what mattered most was the aim they wanted to achieve.
There are many stories where successful people faced challenges and still became millionaires or billionaires.
