10. "The ultimate definition of success is:
you could lose everything that you have and truly be okay with it. Your
happiness isn't based on external factors." --Tony Hsieh, net worth of
$840 million So
often, we push happiness out on the horizon of life. "Once I get this job,
I'll be happy." Or, "If only I landed that promotion, then everything
would be good." Of course, life doesn't work that way, and there is always
another goal once we reach our previous idea of happiness. Money is important,
but your life should never be built around it. Happiness comes before success,
not after it.
9. "No
person will make a great business who wants to do it all himself or get all the
credit." --Andrew Carnegie, net worth of $298.3 billion (in 2007 dollars) Success unshared is failure. Our connections with
other people are what give our work meaning. The things we do will only matter
if they are shared with others.
8. "The role of business is to produce goods
and services that make people's lives better." --Charles Koch, net worth
of $25 billion If
your only goal is to become rich, then you're going to have trouble meeting
your goal. However, if your focus is on making people's lives better, then
you'll find that success comes much more quickly. Charles G. Koch, 76 Company: Koch Industries
Net worth: $24.7 billion
Compensation: N/A
Charles G. Koch has been the chairman and CEO of Koch Industries — one of the largest privately owned companies in the U.S. — since 1967. The group’s annual revenue is more than $100 billion, according to Forbes.
7. "It's through curiosity and looking at
opportunities in new ways that we've always mapped our path at Dell. There's
always an opportunity to make a difference." --Michael Dell, net worth of
$15.9 billion Take
a look at any market-leading company. Are they compromising on their product in
one way or another? That's an opportunity for disruption, growth, and change.
Any unmet need, any annoying problem, any half-baked solution offers a chance
to change things.
6. "If I'm
going to do something, I do it spectacularly or I don't do it at all."
--Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud, net worth of $18 billion Developing a world-class skill means that you
have the capability to ignore everything else. You have to be able to focus on
doing an incredible job or on ignoring it completely. Greatness doesn't come
from simply "putting the time in" ... you have to put the time in
with effort, energy, and resolve.
Saudi Arabia's Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud
is the Warren Buffett of the Middle East and the richest arab in the world!
5. "Getting the job done has been the basis
for the success my company has achieved." --Michael Bloomberg, net worth
of $22 billion Billionaires
have grit and perseverance. Top performers work hard at hard things. And that
means that successful people do the things that most people don't want to do,
and that's why they get the job done.
4. “I think that our fundamental belief is that
for us growth is a way of life and we have to grow at all times.” —Mukesh
Ambani, net worth of $22.3 billion Success
is not an event—it’s a process. Billionaires embody that process better than
most of us. They are on a constant quest to improve, enhance, and outperform
themselves. It’s a constant, internal drive to become a better person. 
2. "What we
say here every day is that our success is really based on our members' success,
our community's success." --Pierre Omidyar, net worth of $6.7 billion Your success is directly tied to how much you do
for others. It's not what you know. It's not who you know. It's what you do for
who you know. Success follows generosity.
1. "You become what you believe. You are
where you are today in your life based on everything you have believed."
--Oprah Winfrey, net worth of $2.7 billion First and foremost, you have to believe that greatness is possible.
Many of the world's billionaires have shifted the way our world works, because
they believed that they were capable of doing something that was previously
impossible. Change is possible. Greatness is possible. But you can't do
anything unless you first believe in yourself.
