INTRODUCTION :
Billionaires think differently than most people . Some might say it’s because the have everything in life, While others might say the have enough money to start up what ever big idea the have . But all are false. You don’t need capital for the big ideas you have, all you need is to discover how to use things around you to solve a Problem.
If you took away all of Donald Trump's money, he would be right back to where he is today because of this ideas.
THINGS TO DO AND THINGS NOT TO DO
Somebody once told me the definition of hell: "On your last day on earth, the person you became will meet the person you could have become." — Anonymous.
Sometimes, to become successful and get closer to the person we can become, we don't need to add more things — we need to give up on some of them.
Just like Jack ma quotes: Never Give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worst, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine.
There are certain things that are universal, which will make you successful if you give up on them, even though each one of us could have a different definition of success.
You can give up on some of them today, while it might take a bit longer to give up on others.
1. Give up the short-term mindset
"You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." — Mae West
Successful people set long-term goals, and they know that these aims are merely the result of short-term habits that they need to do every day.
These healthy habits shouldn't be something you do; they should be something you embody.
There is a difference between: "Working out to get a summer body" and "Working out because that's who you are."

2. Give up your excuses
"It's not about the cards you're dealt, but how you play the hand." ―Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture |
Successful people know that they are responsible for their life, no matter their starting point, weaknesses, and past failures.
Realizing that you are responsible for what happens next in your life is both frightening and exciting.
And when you do, that becomes the only way you can become successful, because excuses limit and prevent us from growing personally and professionally.
Own your life; no one else will.
3.Give up the fixed mindset
"The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways." ―Robert Greene, Mastery |
People with a fixed mindset believe their intelligence or talents are simply fixed traits, and that talent alone creates success — without effort. They're wrong.
Successful people know this. They invest an immense amount of time on a daily basis to develop a growth mindset, acquire new knowledge, learn new skills and change their perception so that it can benefit their lives.
Remember, who you are today, it's not who you have to be tomorrow
4.Fearing Failure
“I tried 99 times and have failed, but on the 100th time came success” — Albert Einstein |
As I previously stated, YOU ARE GOING TO FAIL! There is no reason to fear it. Rather, you should embrace it. Learn from it, and ultimately improve from it.
Life is full of excuses to feel pain, excuses not to live, excuses, excuses, excuses. “ „There are dignified stupidities, and there are heroic stupidities, and there is such a thing as stupid stupidities, and that would be a stupid stupidity not to have a camera on board
When you are successful you know you are always trying your best. When you fail it is not a reflection of you as a person; you are not a flawed individual. View failure as an opportunity to grow, not as something to be feared.
5.Giving Up
At a certain point in your journey, you feel like giving up on your dreams, because of the difficulty you face.
But at this point, you have to choose how to handle your fears
You need to choose either to “forget everything and run” or “face everything and rise”.
When you face an improbable obstacle in life how do you respond? Do you give up, or do you keep pressing on? Successful people don’t give up. They commit themselves to reaching their final destination. They may not ever get there, but they don’t allow impediments to prevent them from trying. This means continuing on despite failures and disappointments.
Success encompasses a lot of different arenas. What works for financial success may not translate into relationship success. Being successful as an athlete doesn’t necessarily make you successful as a student as well. There are varying degrees of success depending on what situation you are in.
Regardless, the fundamental backbone of success is trying your best. If you put forth your best effort, without harming others in the process, than you are a successful person. This can apply to work, family, friends, relationships, hobbies, etc. As the late great John Wooden said, “Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.” I think that sums it up beautifully.
