Are you aware that everything
we desire and dream of is possible if we just push ourselves beyond our comfort
zone? Success is hardly achievable without consistent effort and vulnerability.
Most successful entrepreneurs in the world today started from nothing. Most
even failed and experienced major setbacks along the line. The ability to
believe in yourself and the awareness that you have to put in persistent effort
if you are going to achieve success on any front should be deeply rooted in
your heart.
All the success
you are going to achieve in business would be associated with a little effort
or more depending on what you find comfortable doing. If you are going to
attain success even beyond your vision, you have to be able to go beyond your
capabilities. Extra ordinary success requires extra ordinary measures. You have
to be capable of embracing failures and never allow it stop you from trying
again and again.
He tried to sell the
idea alongside his business partner, Paul Allen, but the product barely even
worked. It was a complete disaster. However, the failure did not hold Gates
back from exploring new opportunities, and a few years later, he created his
first Microsoft product, and forged a new path to success.
WALT DISNEY, One of the most
creative geniuses of the 20th century was once fired from a newspaper
because he was told he lacked creativity. Trying to persevere, Disney formed
his first animation company, which was called Laugh-O-Gram Films. He raised
$15,000 for the company but eventually was forced to close Laugh-O-Gram,
following the close of an important distributor partner.
Desperate and out of
money, Disney found his way to Hollywood and faced even more criticism and
failure until finally, his first few classic films started to skyrocket in
popularity.
STEVE
JOBS is
an impressive entrepreneur because of his boundless innovations, but also
because of his emphatic comeback from an almost irrecoverable failure. Jobs
found success in his 20s when Apple became a massive empire, but when he was
30, Apple’s board of directors decided to fire him.
Undaunted by the
failure, Jobs founded a new company, NeXT, which was eventually acquired by
Apple. Once back at Apple, Jobs proved his capacity for greatness by
reinventing the company’s image and taking the Apple brand to new heights.
You are not a failure
regardless of how many times you have failed, you become a failure when you
give up on your dreams and refuse to try harder. Success is achievable if only
you can stay persistent.
