Success Secret of Global Icons

Some leaders are born, while some possess special skills that they groom it over period of time and build companies like Microsoft, Google, Dell, Time Warner, Virgin Atlantic and many more not really famous companies that have demonstrated MAGIC FORMULA (read below to know more...).


I have been a big fan of understanding what takes to be one of them. Do they have some magical powers, or special talent. I read over zillion articles and books, and i was proven wrong, these leaders are just like you and me. So what talent sets them different?


I want to share the most inspiring "magic formula", it form of bullets and personal stories to make it and inspiring reading.


MAGIC FORMULA

Master them and you will see the difference in your approach and outlook:


* Have faith in yourself

People will always try to talk you out of ideas and say: ’it can’t be done,’ but if you have faith in yourself you’ll find you can achieve almost anything. People told my father a service man will always stay one, and can never start his own businees and this was almost 30 years back. He had faith in self and in god, and started working at 15 years and today he is a successful business man with a wonderful family. One needs courage and "I Can Do" attitude to take you places.

* Never give up

Richard Branson said in one of his article "A journey of a thousand miles starts with that first step. If you look ahead to the end, and all the weary miles between, with all the dangers you might face, you might never take that first step. And whatever it is you want to achieve in life, if you don't make the effort. You won’t reach your goal. So take the first step. There will be many challenges. You might get knockedback - but in the end, you will make it."

NASA has an awesome quote that i have lived most of my life by "FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION"

If you don't have the right experience to achieve your goals then learn from basic and make your way up. Being a service mans son didn't stop my father to start his own business. He started delivering mails at successful business, saw their working and key pointers, worked as a cloth agent and finally in next 5 years he was manufacturing cloth and selling it to traders. Dad learned many lessons: not just if you want to do something, just do it, but also to prepare well, have faith in yourself, help each other, and never give up

* Believe that anything can be done

Dont day dream and have goals in life to achieve impossible. I started my first charity work when i was 14 years, nothing was impossible all i believed in the cause and did everything in my power to make it successful. The best lesson i learnt was just do it; Once Plato, said,’ The beginning is the most important part of any work.’ Your goals can be small, all you need to do is believe in them, so you are ready for the big leap.

* Live life to the full

Work hard and play hard. Fun is needed to recharge your brain cells to give you 300% to achieve impossible. One can be as successful one wants to, but whats the value of this success when you don't have a family to share with. I don't deny that money is not important. Do things and projects that you enjoy and money will flow because you have put your heart to achieve it.


Woow that is basic, and we all have it then why dont we use it?


One does not need to be another Bill gates or Richard Branson to be a successful leader, be one in your own perspective, follow tour dream and goals, love your self and family (all work and no play will make Jack/Jill a dull boy/girl)


Readers its for you to answer, what is one thing that you will do to apply this MAGIC FORMULA

You can do anything you put your mind and heart to. You are bound to experience failures in life, you have to learn from those and move forward.

Very good post!
