Read about any successful businessperson and you’ll find that most ‘overnight success stories’ are preceded by years of hard work. Having a vision or a dream, working hard, and persisting against the odds are common themes.
Successful business people don’t just talk about their ideas; they put their plans into action. I recently redid my marketing plan and was reminded that while I was clear about my goals, I needed to action each step to achieve them.
Many successful businesspeople also fail more often than most other people, but they pick themselves up after these failures and try again. For example, Dr Seuss’s first children’s book was rejected by 23 publishers, Abraham Lincoln failed in business and lost several elections, and it took Henry Ford three attempts to set up his own motor company.
