Reading books, watching webinars or taking courses is useful for developing your professional and personal skills.
But you feel much more confident when a successful person shares his experience and helps you walk the path to success with fewer mistakes behind you.
Jeff Bezos, businessman and creator of Amazon.com, is ranked #1 by Forbes.
The Amazon service appeared back in 1994 and during this time it has become the largest store in the world, where you can order goods for almost any request. And it all started with books.
Jeff Bezos originally intended for the site to sell absolutely every book that could be found on the Internet.
But his entourage and book experts advised him to make the site narrowly focused and present only popular literature. The company's popularity is precisely because Jeff ignored this advice and actively expanded the range.
When you reach the expert level, you can get trapped in information dogma. You know for sure “how to do it,” but you can’t think of “how it could be done.” Jeff Bezos
Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, is ranked 2nd by Forbes.
In 2017, Bill Gates wrote a legendary farewell letter to high school graduates that can be quoted almost in its entirety. In it, he asks graduates not to go with the flow, but to challenge life, take risks, and not be afraid of mistakes.
Start associating with people who challenge you, teach you, and motivate you to be better. Bill Gates.
Warren Buffett, American entrepreneur and investor, is ranked 3rd by Forbes.
In his statement, the businessman recommends investing the maximum amount of resources in oneself in order to improve and develop, because such an approach cannot fail to bring results.
If you consider yourself as your main asset or product, then you need to be able to package it correctly and present it to potential buyers.
The best investment you can make for your future is in your skills. Anything you do to develop your own skills or your company will yield positive results. Warren Buffett.
Bernard Arnault, businessman, CEO of the famous brand Louis Vuitton, is ranked 4th in Forbes.
Bernard Arnault recommends not to focus on quick profits and to think about the company's development for years to come.
After all, if you do your job well and strive for development, then sooner or later everything will work out and the profit will come.
Finance is secondary. I always tell my employees: don't worry about profitability. If you work well, profit will come. Bernard Arnault.
Mark Zuckerberg, programmer and founder of the social network Facebook, is ranked 5th in Forbes.
All Internet users know this entrepreneur.
He often speaks publicly and shares various secrets of his success. And success did not come to the social network Facebook immediately due to the fear of taking risks and challenging Google, which could at any moment release a similar service with greater popularity.
The biggest mistake is to avoid danger. In today's rapidly evolving society, the only plan that is sure to fail is to avoid risks. Mark Zuckerberg.
Amancio Ortega, creator of famous brands ZARA, Bershka, Inditex, is ranked 6th in Forbes.
This is a man with a unique success story that began with critical poverty.
Even though Amancio Ortega dropped out of school and had to work, he found the strength to follow his own path and achieve great success in the fashion world. And even now, as a successful entrepreneur, Amancio Ortega continues to work every day to become even better.
The worst thing you can imagine is to become completely satisfied with yourself. Victory is never guaranteed. I do not allow myself to be satisfied with what I have achieved, and I always try to convey this to everyone around me. Amancio Ortega
Carlos Slim Helu, businessman, ranked 7th in Forbes.
As the son of Lebanese immigrants, he managed to earn 1 million in investments as a child. This is due to the fact that his father taught him financial literacy and the importance of investments from childhood.
Carlos Slim Helu admits that his father's instructions have served him well more than once in his life and he continues to adhere to his father's teachings to this day.
Imagine an athlete. He may be doing well in his home, but not as well as the people around him. To realize this, he needs to go beyond the confines of his home. Carlos Slim Helu.
