Even The Most Successful Fail ...

The rich and successful also cry.

Failure is not a rare event, even among the greatest entrepreneurs and inventors. What they do differently is that they just try again, without losing motivation.

Persistence is the quality that can make miracles. Most of the people simply find it easier to give up something, instead of giving it another shot. But why is this? There might be so many answers to this question. Many people, for example, get scared by failure. You should know, that this is a common fear among all people, but the successful ones can easily get over it. Most of the biggest inventors and entrepreneurs didn’t make it the first time. Many of them didn’t even make it by the tenth time. You would be surprised, but there are many successful people today, that tried hundreds (even thousands) of times before they made it.

In the following video you can see some of the most interesting constant failures, that led to success at some point in time. Here you will see how many times some of the richest people tried before they succeeded …

And in the end, don’t forget the saying: Quitters never win, winners never quit !

Richard Branson's Three Top Tips For Entrepreneurial Success

Billionaire, mogul, financier Richard Branson has built an empire on great ideas and the ability to follow through on a dream. 

Take a few tips from Sir Richard and reach new heights in your own entrepreneurial pursuits.

Provide Untapped Value to the Customer

"The most critical thing with any new venture is we must deliver a tremendous value to the consumer so that it enhances all the ventures we've done before it," says Branson. Today, the Virgin brand encompasses everything from soft drinks to airlines. Branson's approach has been to provide something unique in each venture; something the competition lacks. Find the value, find the customers.

Exploit a Passion

"I start businesses when I have a passion for something. That's also why I went into the airline business, even though everybody I talked to told me that there was no money to be made there. I felt that I could make a difference. That's the best reason to go into business because you feel strongly that you can change things," says Branson. It's the entrepreneurial passion and attitude that makes the difference in achieving lasting success.

Trust Your Instincts

"A business has to be involving, it has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts." Case in point, the "rebel-billionaire" relied on gut instincts to take advantage of opportunities when they presented themselves. Branson wasn't born wealthy, and began his empire by selling yet-to-be touched (i.e. "Virgin") records out of the trunk of his car when it was unheard of to do so. Slowly but surely, he expanded his business until it became the multi-billion dollar empire we know today. Follow his lead and mix a great idea with real passion.
