STEP 1 Business Ideas To start a business you will need to choose or create a business idea. While this is an obvious step many people who want their own business don't have an idea, just the desire to be an entrepreneur. For the budding entrepreneur, there are many options; buying a franchise or an existing business, or looking to others for ideas for a start-up business. Once you have decided on the business you wish to start, then the real work begins.

STEP 2 Business Plan Writing a business plan is your next and most important step, this is how you and others will evaluate your business. When seeking financing the investors or lenders will want to read your plan before they supply you with funding. If you're financing the business yourself, you will still want to have a written plan to develop business strategies and financial projections. A key element within the business plan is the marketing plan, which explains marketing strategies that will be used to advertise and promote the products or services. The goal setting steps of the plan will help you to analyze the success of the business in future years and clearly illustrate the capital needed to operate the company to break-even.

STEP 3 Financing With your business plan in hand, you are ready to go find yourself some capital. Most small businesses have three options for financing: friends & family, investors or bank loans. Each of these options has different

A survey released by Manta shows that nearly 50% of businesses have increased their time on social media channels in the last year, according to Michael Fertik at Forbes. Another 55% of businesses surveyed are actively using social media marketing for lead generation and customer engagement.
Yet, 60% of small businesses reported no return on investment for their social media marketing. That may seem dire, but it does mean that 40% of small businesses are seeing some ROI.

What are they doing differently? “I do think a defined digital presence—coupled with realistic expectations—can be a source of significant support for most, assuming a thoughtful approach is taken,” writes Fertik. “Too often, however, it’s easy to make some rookie mistakes.”

The mistakes? The first big one is joining every social media network without considering where your customers are. Spending your resources on Pinterest when you are an auto mechanic may not serve your best interest. There are no barriers to entry to social media networks, so a lot of business join all of them without considering the significant time and effort, and yes, even money, that will be necessary to mounting an effective social media campaign. Go where your customers are and spend your resources there. “It’s much better to slow down and look at the data before you invest too much in one channel or spread yourself across too many,” writes Fertik.

“What type of customer is purchasing your products? What social channels do they frequent? What kind of content gets shared, liked or retweeted? If the data say that your average customer is a city-dwelling mother in her early 40s who likes Facebook, then there is no reason to spend your time and energy on Twitter, at least initially.”

Another rookie mistake is not publishing enough. Or rather, more common, publishing a lot at first and then losing steam. Come up with a schedule that it actually something you can fit into your work time. If that’s just one post a week, then go with that. Social media is not dissimilar to a hungry baby—it requires feeding on a very regular basis,” writes Fertik. “Don’t set a rhythm you can’t maintain. It’s a one-way ratchet; you can always turn it up but it’s hard to back off without appearing ungraceful.”

As for what kind of content you should create, first ask yourself: What kind of content catches your attention? What content has value to you? Then ask yourself what kind of content will have value to your customers. What can you teach? What can you do to entertain? Are you funny? (If you are funny, go with that. People respond very well to humor.) Spend a little time experimenting on social media. Put up a post that tells a story. Then put up a post that asks a question. See which does better with your audience. Offer a prize. Post a picture.

Which post gets more engagement? This is how you refine your social media strategy: Trial and error. It’s also really important to have specific goals for your social media marketing. “The first step in making social media work is to define your goals, and determine your Key Performance Indicators (KPIs),” writes Troy Frink for Tentacle Inboud.

“Do you want to get hundreds of page likes, or do you want to drive traffic to your website and generate leads? Deciding on your goals should center around the actions that actually help your business grow. You want to generate revenue, so how do you measure that definitively on your website?” Once you’ve established your goals and your putting out regular content, work to connect with your online community. “Small businesses should identify strong social influencers—bloggers that your customers read, individuals with robust followers—and start engaging with them,” writes Fertik.

“Follow them on their social channels to spark a return follow. Share their content. Comment thoughtfully, respectfully and without self-promotion on posts multiple times a week.” Carefully and thoughtfully engaging with other people who share your concerns online will grow your community, which will in turn give your content greater reach. Frink points out a cool example of using real-time social conversations to connect with customers on Twitter.

Heather Physioc was running a social media campaign on Twitter for a cosmetology education website. “To achieve real-time social media success, she created the following Boolean query in TweetDeck: cosmetology OR ‘beauty school’ AND think OR thinking OR want OR wanting OR consider OR considering. Instantly, the firehose of tweets was narrowed down to individuals who were expressing real intent and desire to attend beauty school,” writes Frink.

“This allowed her to focus her limited time only on the people most likely to convert to student leads. She then reached out directly to each of these individuals to offer personal help finding schools near them, and answer all their questions about cosmetology education and careers.

Also, when she sent links to content on the brand’s website, she included tracking parameters to be able to measure the success of these campaigns and continually hone them.” Expect a little bit of negative response to your social media. Every business will get some. It is actually a sign that your social media messaging has some legs if it reaches someone who wants to air a grievance. Use a complaint to improve your messaging. (Or even your product or service.) Respond to criticism with what Fertik calls “prompt courteousness and pleasant professionalism.”

At it’s best, social media marketing can increase your small businesses visibility, give you a bigger reach and engage your current and future customers. Get in the game.

Entrepreneurship Steve Jobs will be remembered as a digital visionary — the man who brought poetry to the microchip. But before he was a legend, he was a person. We can’t all be Steve Jobs, but we can all learn from his extraordinary life.

#1 Skate to Where the Puck is Going to

Be In 2007, Steve Jobs said, “There’s an old Wayne Gretzky quote that I love. ‘I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.’ And we’ve always tried to do that at Apple. Since the very, very beginning. And we always will.” Steve’s ability to anticipate future trends helped Apple dominate now-burgeoning markets like digital music sales (through the iPod and iTunes Store).

#2 Accentuate the Positive

Steve started life out on the wrong foot. He was given up for adoption at birth. Tough break? Young Jobs didn’t think so: he was thankful for his loving adoptive parents — who happened to live in Palo Alto, California (which would eventually become Silicon Valley).

#3 Learn from Others In high school

Jobs attended lectures at a small computer technology company called Hewlett- Packard. Before turning 21, Steve had worked for both HP and Atari. He saw what these companies were doing and learned what he wanted to do differently with Apple.

#4 Start Early Because

Steve was still a sponge-brained teenager when he started working with computers, he learned quickly. It also helps that he started Apple in his early 20’s: when he was still full of energy, fresh ideas, and not yet restrained by a family or career.

#5 College is Important…

At its best, higher education challenges us to make connections and solve problems. Jobs credits a college calligraphy course for part of the Macintosh’s development: “If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts.”

#6 …But it’s Not Necessary Reed University was expensive and Jobs didn’t want to drain his parents’ savings. If Jobs hadn’t dropped out, he would have been a junior in 1975. He co- founded Apple Computer that year instead.

#7 Travel the World

The year before he founded Apple, Jobs journeyed to India. Travel has a way of broadening a person’s perspective and expanding their sense of what’s possible – good traits in an entrepreneur.

#8 Surround Yourself with Good People

Steve Jobs wasn’t a great computer engineer. Apple would have had no chance if Jobs was the only one building the computers. That’s why he recruited Steve Wozniak. Through the years, Jobs’ companies have blossomed thanks to the brilliant people he’s brought on board – like Apple CEO Tim Cook and Pixar CCO (Chief Creative Officer) John Lasseter.

#9 Expect Greatness

People tend to rise to expectations.

#10 Fake it Before You Make it

In Apple’s early days, Steve recognized that Palo Alto, California was the epicenter of innovative computer technology. Steve wanted his company to be associated with this place – but Apple was still headquartered out of a garage in nearby Los Altos. Jobs’ solution was to set up a PO Box in Palo Alto and hire a voice answering service. A potential client would get the impression that Apple was a big company in the heart of Silicon Valley – even though the truth was that it was still just two sweaty guys in a garage across town.

#11 Obstacles are meant to be Overcome

Jobs and Wozniak ran out of money while developing the first Apple computer. Instead of giving in, Jobs sold his van and Wozniak sold his graphing calculator. When there’s a will, there’s a way.

This question originally appeared on Quora: How can I motivate myself to work hard? Answer by Nelson Wang, CEO of Blink, on Quora

When I was twenty years old and studying at UCLA, I flunked an Economics class. I was devastated. Guess what happened? I bounced back. I got an A when I retook the course. When I was twenty-two, I interviewed with four different managers at a Fortune 100 company and was ranked pretty much last in every interview. I didn’t get a single job offer. I was frustrated. Guess what happened? I bounced back. I have my dream job now. When I was twenty-five, I created nine iPhone apps, all of which failed miserably. I spent a ridiculous amount of time and money building them and felt really bummed. Guess what happened? Since then, I’ve built another four iPhone apps and all four of them hit the top one hundred in the Business, Lifestyle, and Entertainment section.

When I was twenty-eight, I found out my mentor and friend Erik, who was like a brother to me, passed away from cancer. That was one of the toughest times in my life. Guess what happened? I bounced back. Because that’s what Erik would have wanted. What I’ve noticed over the last thirty years of my life is that there is a recurring pattern to successfully motivating myself. This pattern helped me get back on track, even during times that felt like rock bottom. I’ve also asked numerous executives from Cisco, MTV, Bank of America, VMware, Box and Optimizely what their secrets to motivation are. In addition to that, I’ve also read numerous books on motivation from authors like Tony Robbins to Daniel Pink (Author of “Drive”). I’ve put together a list of the ten things successful people do to motivate themselves.

1. Understand your why.

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” – Mark Twain

Understand your purpose and it will fuel your drive. If I told you that it was your job to sort through a box of potatoes and to throw away the rotten ones, would you feel a strong sense of purpose? Or would you feel like a cog in a machine?
Now, what if I told you that by sorting out the bad potatoes you were helping out the local food bank in supplying fresh food to needy families in the area, would that change your perspective and your sense of purpose in the work?
Now that you understand the purpose of the work, does it potentially change your attitude or perhaps even your choice of work? I’m not here to dictate what purpose is. Everyone’s got a different definition based on their experiences in life and their own set of values. But what I do want to ask you is: What does purpose mean to you? Find your why. If you don’t know what it is, create it. That will motivate you to make a difference.

2. Stay focused on the big picture.

“Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe.” – Oprah Winfrey

Admit it. There will be days when work will feel boring. When tasks feel repetitive. When you feel like you have a hundred things to do on your checklist. Or when you’re just plain irritated. The easy thing to do is to feel frustrated and to give up. Or you could stay focused on the big picture.

When I worked at VMware, I started a weekly partner training program that quickly grew from twenty attendees to well over one hundred and fifty sales reps at its peak. One of my co-workers was upset because he felt like it would end up creating more work for him (i.e., if Nelson is doing it, then we’ll all have to start doing this!). If I caved and stopped doing the trainings so that my co- worker wouldn’t feel obligated to do more work, do you know what would have happened? We wouldn’t have created $1.6M in pipeline, that’s for sure. That’s why you’ve got to keep your eye on the big picture.

3. Get active.

A lot of times it’s hard to get motivated if you’re not in a good mood. Research has shown that working out multiple times a week for a reasonable period of time can reduce the symptoms of depression. Exercising for thirty minutes can also increase levels of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which can help to reduce stress. I’ve noticed that when I exercise for at least thirty minutes (especially in the morning), I’m a lot more relaxed throughout the day, less stressed out, and am able to think much more clearly. Also, if you’re pushing yourself in your workouts, you’re testing your boundaries, and this can be really healthy. For example, I had never run a half marathon before and I decided to step up to the challenge this year. It was painful, but after I finished, I immediately thought, “If I can do this, what else am I capable of?” Pushing yourself physically will also motivate you to push yourself intellectually and in other parts of your life, like your career. #WorkoutsElevateYourGame.

4. Have an accountability buddy.

“Surround yourself with people who push you, who challenge you, who make you laugh, who make you better, who make you happy.” – Anonymous

Let’s say you set a goal of signing on 100 new customers within a year. Now share that goal with some of your closest friends and colleagues. Guess what? You’ve just signed up for peer pressure and this is a great way to keep yourself motivated at work. Don’t believe me? Just wait until you hear someone down the hall say, “Hey (Insert Your Name Here), how are you doing in your goal of 100 new customers?” Still don’t think that’s motivating? How about an additional fifty coworkers also asking that same question? I think that’ll motivate you. Just a hunch.

5. Motivational quotes.

I know, I’m writing a post on how to get motivated and included motivational quotes and then suggested that you use motivational quotes to get motivated. This just got meta on you. Whatever motivational quote you decide on, print it out and tape it to your mirror. Or if you want to get fancy with it, take a marker and write it on the mirror! That’ll get you going in the morning!

6. Create small, bite-sized goals.

There’s a reason donut holes are so lovable. They’re easy to eat. Before you know it, you’ve eaten a dozen of them. This is how goals should be too. Of course you should have a really big, audacious goal. But make sure you break down that goal into bite-sized, consumable goals. This way, you’ll feel like you’re making progress in your journey and you’ll also feel a sense of accomplishment when you complete the smaller goals. A feeling of progress and achievement is a beautiful combination.

7. Have the time of your life. “There’s no fun in a perfect life. So make a risk. Take a chance. Go where the wind takes you. Have fun.” – Jenny C.

If you’re having fun, you’re going to be more motivated to do great work. This is true for 90% of the people. Okay, I have no proof that is statistically true, but I’m pretty sure for most people this holds true. Do you notice that when you’re having fun, you’re more charismatic, upbeat, and optimistic? Do you notice that you’re more productive because you’re actually enjoying the work? Do you notice you’re motivating other team members because you’re making the work environment awesome? Thought so. Go out there and have the time of your life!

8. Meditate.

“Meditation is not a means to an end. It is both the means and the end.” – Jiddu Krishnamurti

We live in a world of information overload. Because of that, our brains sometimes get overstimulated, and that’s not a good thing. That’s why we need to meditate. Calm down. Close your eyes. Lie down. Okay, fine, you’re probably sitting in front of a computer. Just sit up straight, then. Breathe slowly in and out. Do you feel a sense of calm wash over you? Do you notice thoughts starting to creep in? Push them out and focus only on your breathing. Meditation will help you motivate yourself in a few different ways: By clearing your mind, you’ll have a renewed sense of focus. By meditating, you’ll likely feel happier since your stress will be reduced. When we’re happy, we tend to be more optimistic about the future. That optimism can often be a very powerful motivational force.

9. Brainstorm your ideas and write them down.

Not all of your ideas will be good. It doesn’t matter. Write them down anyway. I got this idea from James Altucher (the guy is brilliant!). Your great ideas will come when you least expect them. Eventually, after you jot down a hundred ideas, chances are that you’ll have at least one good idea. That’s incredibly motivating when you discover you can come up with good ideas. So start jotting them down. Now.

10. Visualize the future and go make it happen.

Need motivation? Think about what you’re going to achieve. Think about the impact you’re going to make. Think of the future you’re going to create. Visualize it. Go make it happen. NOW. Because it’s never too late to be awesome.

@16 she's chasing money like this, what about when she becomes 32??

What secret made Bill Gates the richest man in the world?
Was Aliko Dangote; the richest black man in the word born to be an entrepreneur?
How did Oprah Winfrey become a talk show billionaire and richest black woman in the world which other talk show hosts battle with mediocrity?

How come the most successful entrepreneurs in the world are drop out billionaires?
What separates the 50 year old individuals who are still struggling to live on a $50,000 salary from the young billionaires who are in their 20s and 30s ?

This article will provide an answer to all the questions asked above.

Quite a number of times, I have heard the phrase that “ entrepreneurship is a calling.” I think there’s an atom of truth in that statement.

Entrepreneurship is a call to self actualization; a call to serve and improve the well being of humanity. Now every human being on earth has a calling; a specific purpose why he/she was created but it takes focus and spiritual understanding to discover that purpose.

“Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.” – Mary Kay Ash

Now what’s the secret of the most successful entrepreneurs?

The answer to this question is simple. The most successful entrepreneurs simply discovered their purpose; found their entrepreneurial spirit and stayed true to their calling.

“It was in my life’s darkest moment, when there seem to be no hope that I discovered my entrepreneurial spirit. I thank God for that situation.
If not for that single situation, I might have died without giving that entrepreneurial spirit in me a chance to manifest.” – Ajaero Tony Martins

Finding the entrepreneurial spirit made Oprah Winfrey, the richest talk show host. It’s this same entrepreneurial spirit that propelled Christopher Columbus to embark on the voyage that changed the world.

It’s this same entrepreneurial spirit that kept Larry Ellison going even after dropping out of college twice; same goes with Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Ingvar Kamprad, Orji Uzor Kalu, Steve Jobs and Richard Branson.

“It isn’t until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are – not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down the spirit within – that you can begin to take control.” – Oprah Winfrey

The same entrepreneurial spirit was responsible for the tremendous success of Andrew Carnegie, Ray Kroc, Debbi Fields, Mary Kay Ash, Cosmos Maduka, Henry Ford and Li Ka Shing ; despite their lack of formal education.

General Electric and Wal-Mart remain relevant today because they are still being guided by the entrepreneurial spirit of their founders; Thomas Edison and Sam Walton respectively. This same entrepreneurial spirit kept Ingvar Kamprad and Warren Buffett in the game even in old age.

“I’m not afraid of turning 80 and I have lots of things to do. I don’t have time for dying.” – Ingvar Kamprad

“I get to do what I like to do every single day of the year.” – Warren Buffett

So if the entrepreneurial spirit is vital to success in business; how can you awaken this spirit?

Without wasting much of your time, below are seven steps you can take to awaken your entrepreneurial spirit.

1. Develop your Mindset

“I like thinking big. If you’re going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big.” – Donald Trump

Awakening your entrepreneurial spirit begins with the development of your mindset. If you are not in the right mindset; if you lack the right perception, your entrepreneurial spirit will remain dormant. The entrepreneurial spirit thrives in a body with the right attitude and you have to be a positive thinker to harness the power of the entrepreneurial spirit.

“Like success, failure is many things to many people. With positive mental attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, and a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order to prepare to try again.” – W. Clement Stone

You must also develop your mind to see opportunities where others see problems; and above all, you must change your perception towards challenges and failure. You must see problems as a stepping stone, not as a stumbling block.

“Someone asked me, ‘how can I find a good business opportunity? I replied, ‘go and look for adversity.’ If you can handle adversity, you will find opportunity. Adversity and opportunity are two inseparable twins.” – Ajaero Tony Martins

2. Develop your Self Belief

“Some people intertwine self belief and faith but I stand to say they are not the same. Faith is not self belief. While faith says it can be done, self belief says ‘I can do it.’ While faith says there is possibility, Self belief says ‘I am the possibility.’ Faith without self belief is vain.” – Ajaero Tony Martins

The next step to awakening your entrepreneurial spirit is to develop a strong believe in yourself. Without self belief, you entrepreneurial spirit will never manifest. “Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember you can achieve.” – Mary Kay Ash

3. Follow Your Instinct

“Follow your instincts, that’s where true wisdom manifest itself.” – Oprah Winfrey

I came to realize the power of my instinct after reading Felix Dennis’s book “ How to be Rich.” In that book, Felix Dennis explained that your instinct is that goose pimples that form on your body whenever you come across a potential business opportunity; it’s the excitement and the

“ let’s do it” voice inside your heart. “Screw it, let’s do it.” – Richard Branson

You must train yourself to understand yourself. You should know when your instinct is giving you a nudge to forge ahead; you should learn to obey your instinct. When Richard Branson was presented with the airline business idea; he followed his instinct and started Virgin Atlantic despite the glaring fact that he would be going head to head against the giant British Airways.

Today, VIRGIN is a worldwide recognized brand. “A business has to be involving, it has to be fun and it has to exercise your creative instincts.” – Richard Branson

Christopher Columbus followed his instinct to embark on the voyage and he discovered America. Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Larry Ellison and Richard Branson all followed their instinct and dropped out of school. Today, they are the world’s celebrated drop out billionaires.

“Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you are generally better off sticking with what you know and the third is that sometimes, your best investments are the ones you don’t make.” – Donald Trump

4. Learn to take Risk;

it is part of the game From personal observation; it seems risky ventures forces the entrepreneurial spirit into manifestation. I have seen men break barriers where others think the game is over. “You must take risks, both with your own money or with borrowed money. Risk taking is essential to business growth.” – J. Paul Getty

When everyone had the perception that the world was flat; Christopher Columbus took the risk to sail around the world and bumped into America. When everyone said it was impossible for humans to fly; the Wright brothers held on to their dreams and took the risk to fly the first airplane. Virgin Atlantic was a risk; Microsoft’s windows was a risk, Oracle was a risk and so also was Dell. As a last note, I want it to sink into your skull that the entrepreneurial spirit thrives on risk.

“I had to give it a go and see what happens.” – Michael Dell “To win big, you sometimes have to take big risks.” – Bill Gates

5. Embrace Competition

“When somebody challenges you, fight back. Be brutal, be tough.” – Donald Trump

Just as the entrepreneurial spirit thrives on risk; so also does it thrive in a competitive environment. Most people shy away from building a business because of the competition involved; they don’t dare to undergo the entrepreneurial process because of the business challenges.

“I have been within the four walls of school and I have been on the street. I can confidently tell you that the street is tougher, challenging, daring, exciting and more rewarding. In school; you play alone. But on the street, you play with the big boys.” – Ajaero Tony Martins

If you must awaken your entrepreneurial spirit; then you must be willing to face competition. In fact, you must be willing to seek it out just like Richard Branson and Larry Ellison. It’s my job for Oracle, the number two software company in the world; to become the number one software company in the world. My job is to build better than the competition, sell those products in the marketplace and eventually supplant Microsoft and move from being number two to number one.” – Larry Ellison

7. Take action

“You have to act and act now.” – Larry Ellison

All your dreams, aspirations and ambition will be in vain if you don’t take action. The entrepreneurial spirit manifests itself in the doing phase; not the planning or dreaming phase. If you want to awaken your spirit; then start the entrepreneurial process and build a business.

The business challenges involved in the entrepreneurial process will force your spirit into action.

“And obviously from our own personal point of view, the principal challenge is a personal challenge.” – Richard Branson

Sometimes I stay up 20hours a day; I keep forging ahead to make sure I achieve my aim without getting bored or stressed up. What’s driving me forward; what’s the source of this energy. I think the answer is the spirit with which I carry out my business obligations. As a final note, I leave you with this quote:

“Nothing gives me a sense of fulfillment more than building successful businesses from scratch. Once my goal is achieved in a particular business; I exit and start another business. Building businesses from scratch is where my passion lies and I am not quitting until death.” – Ajaero Tony Martins

“Without passion, you don’t have energy. Without energy, you have nothing.” – Warren Buffett

1. Passion and Energy

When you think of the likes of Bill Gates, you tend to feel he is living a life filled with long vacations and excessive free time. But that’s not true; most successful entrepreneurs are known to have a great amount of passion and energy.

“Passion is what drives me forward. Passion is what makes me go to bed at 2am and wake up at 6am.” – Aliko Dangote

In fact, they possess the capacity to work long hours with minimal sleep. What most people don’t realize is that entrepreneurs work longer hours than most employees; shuffling between their family, business duties and meetings. This just reminds me of a quote from Warren Buffet, the world’s richest investor and founder of Berkshire Hathaway.

“Without passion, you don’t have energy. Without energy, you have nothing.” – Warren Buffett

2. Ability to take Responsibility

“Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It’s best to admit them quickly and get on with improving your other innovations.” – Steve Jobs

Successful entrepreneurs are known to take responsibility of their actions and decisions even in the face of failure. They don’t blame their employees; instead they take charge, correct their business mistakes and move on.

“My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.” – Oprah Winfrey

3. Long Standing Commitment

“It’s my job for Oracle, the number two software company in the world; to become the number one software company in the world. My job is to build better than the competition, sell those products in the marketplace and eventually supplant Microsoft and move from being number two to number one.” – Larry Ellison

This is a very vital character possessed by any successful entrepreneur you come across. Entrepreneurs are known to be committed not just for the moment but for years. You can imagine Warren Buffet, who is in his 80’s, yet he is still committed to the growth of Berkshire Hathaway, which he founded many years ago.

“I’m not afraid of turning 80 and I have lots of things to do. I don’t have time for dying.” – Ingvar Kamprad

“If I make a commitment to something, I will stick to it no matter what.” – Jenny Craig

4. Self Belief

“You are nuts and you should be proud of it. Stick with what you believe in.” – Trip Hawkins Successful entrepreneurs are known to display a high level of self confidence. They have little belief in fate; they strongly believe in themselves and their ability to achieve their set goals. This is a major character venture capitalist watch out for before financing any business venture.

“Some people intertwine self belief and faith but I stand to say they are not the same. Faith is not self belief. While faith says it can be done, self belief says ‘I can do it.’ While faith says there is possibility, Self belief says ‘I am the possibility.’ Faith without self belief is vain.” – Ajaero Tony Martins

5. Persistence

“When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.” This is what persistence stands for; the ability to press on in the face of hardship. Without persistence, nothing can be achieved. When you think of persistence; think of Henry Ford, founder of Ford motor Company and Ray Kroc, founder of McDonalds.’ “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. The world is full with educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” – Ray Kroc

6. Goal Setting

“I intend to be, the richest man in the world.” – Howard Hughes

All successful entrepreneurs share the characteristic of being goal oriented. They have the ability to set clear goals for themselves. These goals are high and challenging but realistic and attainable. To them, life without goals set and achieved is life wasted.

“I think I am very goal oriented. I’d like to win the America’s cup. I’d like Oracle to be the No 1 software company in the world. I still think it is possible to beat Microsoft.” – Larry Ellison

7. Ability to take Risk

“In today’s rapidly changing world, the people who are not taking risk are the risk takers.” – Robert Kiyosaki

As we all know, business is a risk and to undertake it, you have to be daring. Successful entrepreneurs are risk takers; they put down their time, energy and resources to make sure their business stand the test of time.

“You must take risks, both with your own money or with borrowed money. Risk taking is essential to business growth.” – J. Paul Getty

8. Intelligent Use of Feedback

Feedback is one element that successful entrepreneurs don’t joke with. In fact; it is so important that they surround themselves with smart teams so as to get feedbacks about decisions they took. Most importantly, they make intelligent use of the feedback they receive. Please note that feedback can be in the form of criticism, opinion or advice.

“Sometimes, I think my most important job as a CEO is to listen for bad news. If you don’t act on it, your people will eventually stop bringing bad news to your attention and that is the beginning of the end.” – Bill Gates

9. Strong Self Imposed Standards

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and only five Minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you will do things differently.” – Warren Buffett

Successful entrepreneurs have laid down principles which they don’t compromise for any reason. If you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you must be firm, strict and be a man or woman of principle.

“I am stingy and I’m proud of the reputation.” – Ingvar Kamprad

“Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know if you did it or not.” – Oprah Winfrey

10. Ability to Work under Pressure and Uncertainty

To be an entrepreneur, you must have the ability to work under pressure and uncertainty. Whenever you are facing tough times in your business; remember Donald Trump, who was in personal debt of a billion dollars and his corporation was in debt of 9 billion dollars yet he kept cool and worked his way out of the debts.
“You must not only learn to live with tension, you must seek it out. You must learn to thrive on stress.” – J. Paul Getty

11. Strong Internal Control

Control is essential to the business survival of every successful entrepreneur. To build a successful business, you need firm control of your cash flow and all other business systems. Control is a watch word of entrepreneurs and investors.

“In order to be a player on the fast track, you will need to have a plan on how to gain more and more control. On the fast track, it is control more than money that counts.” – Rich Dad

12. Intelligent Use of Resources Sometimes, entrepreneurs are faced with the challenge of building a business with limited capital. When building a small business startup from scratch, there is need for efficient utilization of the limited resources. It’s called building a business on a “ Shoe string budget“ “IKEA people do not drive flashy cars or stay at luxury hotels.” – Ingvar Kamprad

13. Ability to Quickly Learn From Failures

“Punishing honest mistakes stifles creativity. I want people moving and shaking the earth and they are going to make mistakes.” – Henry Ross Perot

Successful entrepreneurs make lot of mistakes that sometimes lead to business failures but they don’t bow their head in defeat. Instead, they quickly acknowledge their business mistakes, correct them, learn from their failures and move on. They fail but they don’t quit. Instead, they get inspired by their failure and use their failure as a stepping stone to success.

“Failure is just a resting place. It is an opportunity to begin again more intelligently.” – Henry Ford

14. Money as a Means of Keeping Score

“I don’t make deals for the money. I’ve got enough much more than I’ll ever need. I do it to do it.” – Donald Trump

This characteristic might sound a little bit funny but it is a common attribute found in most successful entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs use the money acquired from their business as a landmark, a target and a sign to move on to other business challenges. An entrepreneur who makes his/her first million dollars will be happy with the achievement and will set a goal to make his/her first 100million dollars.

“Build wealth as a by product of your business success; If wealth is your only objective in business, you will probably fail.” – J. Paul Getty

15. Delayed Gratification

“You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job and not get paid for it.” – Oprah Winfrey

I should have listed this first but I decided to save it for the last.
Most individuals like the concept of getting rich quickly, invest today and gain a 1000% ROI in a week and stuffs like that. Entrepreneurs know that profit or reward may not be instant and may even take as much as five years before receiving any dividend.
Sometimes, they work without pay, hoping for a greater reward in years to come.

“I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on assumption they could close the market the next day and not re-open it for five years.” – Warren Buffett

Having revealed the characteristics of successful entrepreneurs, I will advice you try to develop these characters because without these characters, your success will be limited.

1. Passion and Energy

When you think of the likes of Bill Gates, you tend to feel he is living a life filled with long vacations and excessive free time. But that’s not true; most successful entrepreneurs are known to have a great amount of passion and energy.

“Passion is what drives me forward. Passion is what makes me go to bed at 2am and wake up at 6am.” – Aliko Dangote

In fact, they possess the capacity to work long hours with minimal sleep. What most people don’t realize is that entrepreneurs work longer hours than most employees; shuffling between their family, business duties and meetings. This just reminds me of a quote from Warren Buffet, the world’s richest investor and founder of Berkshire Hathaway.

“Without passion, you don’t have energy. Without energy, you have nothing.” – Warren Buffett

2. Ability to take Responsibility

“Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It’s best to admit them quickly and get on with improving your other innovations.” – Steve Jobs

Successful entrepreneurs are known to take responsibility of their actions and decisions even in the face of failure. They don’t blame their employees; instead they take charge, correct their business mistakes and move on.

“My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.” – Oprah Winfrey

3. Long Standing Commitment

“It’s my job for Oracle, the number two software company in the world; to become the number one software company in the world. My job is to build better than the competition, sell those products in the marketplace and eventually supplant Microsoft and move from being number two to number one.” – Larry Ellison

This is a very vital character possessed by any successful entrepreneur you come across. Entrepreneurs are known to be committed not just for the moment but for years. You can imagine Warren Buffet, who is in his 80’s, yet he is still committed to the growth of Berkshire Hathaway, which he founded many years ago.

“I’m not afraid of turning 80 and I have lots of things to do. I don’t have time for dying.” – Ingvar Kamprad

“If I make a commitment to something, I will stick to it no matter what.” – Jenny Craig

4. Self Belief

“You are nuts and you should be proud of it. Stick with what you believe in.” – Trip Hawkins Successful entrepreneurs are known to display a high level of self confidence. They have little belief in fate; they strongly believe in themselves and their ability to achieve their set goals. This is a major character venture capitalist watch out for before financing any business venture.

“Some people intertwine self belief and faith but I stand to say they are not the same. Faith is not self belief. While faith says it can be done, self belief says ‘I can do it.’ While faith says there is possibility, Self belief says ‘I am the possibility.’ Faith without self belief is vain.” – Ajaero Tony Martins

5. Persistence

“When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.” This is what persistence stands for; the ability to press on in the face of hardship. Without persistence, nothing can be achieved. When you think of persistence; think of Henry Ford, founder of Ford motor Company and Ray Kroc, founder of McDonalds.’ “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. The world is full with educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” – Ray Kroc

6. Goal Setting

“I intend to be, the richest man in the world.” – Howard Hughes

All successful entrepreneurs share the characteristic of being goal oriented. They have the ability to set clear goals for themselves. These goals are high and challenging but realistic and attainable. To them, life without goals set and achieved is life wasted.

“I think I am very goal oriented. I’d like to win the America’s cup. I’d like Oracle to be the No 1 software company in the world. I still think it is possible to beat Microsoft.” – Larry Ellison

7. Ability to take Risk

“In today’s rapidly changing world, the people who are not taking risk are the risk takers.” – Robert Kiyosaki

As we all know, business is a risk and to undertake it, you have to be daring. Successful entrepreneurs are risk takers; they put down their time, energy and resources to make sure their business stand the test of time.

“You must take risks, both with your own money or with borrowed money. Risk taking is essential to business growth.” – J. Paul Getty

8. Intelligent Use of Feedback

Feedback is one element that successful entrepreneurs don’t joke with. In fact; it is so important that they surround themselves with smart teams so as to get feedbacks about decisions they took. Most importantly, they make intelligent use of the feedback they receive. Please note that feedback can be in the form of criticism, opinion or advice.

“Sometimes, I think my most important job as a CEO is to listen for bad news. If you don’t act on it, your people will eventually stop bringing bad news to your attention and that is the beginning of the end.” – Bill Gates

9. Strong Self Imposed Standards

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and only five Minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you will do things differently.” – Warren Buffett

Successful entrepreneurs have laid down principles which they don’t compromise for any reason. If you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you must be firm, strict and be a man or woman of principle.

“I am stingy and I’m proud of the reputation.” – Ingvar Kamprad

“Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know if you did it or not.” – Oprah Winfrey

10. Ability to Work under Pressure and Uncertainty

To be an entrepreneur, you must have the ability to work under pressure and uncertainty. Whenever you are facing tough times in your business; remember Donald Trump, who was in personal debt of a billion dollars and his corporation was in debt of 9 billion dollars yet he kept cool and worked his way out of the debts.
“You must not only learn to live with tension, you must seek it out. You must learn to thrive on stress.” – J. Paul Getty

11. Strong Internal Control

Control is essential to the business survival of every successful entrepreneur. To build a successful business, you need firm control of your cash flow and all other business systems. Control is a watch word of entrepreneurs and investors.

“In order to be a player on the fast track, you will need to have a plan on how to gain more and more control. On the fast track, it is control more than money that counts.” – Rich Dad

5 Billionaire Habits That Can Make You Richer


1. Entrepreneurism

Seven of the Top 10 billionaires from Forbes' 2010
list are self-made. This club of clever elites,
includes Bill Gates (net worth, $53 billion), who
started the Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT) company in
1975 while still in his junior year in college at
Harvard University.
Gates may have been in the right place at the right
time in terms of developing computer software,
but he also made the decision to strike right away,
rather waiting even to graduate. His timing and
hard-driving pursuit of success in his business
helped plant the seed for what would become one
of the world's largest and most successful
companies. (For more on this company, read
Microsoft: By The Numbers.)


2. Frugality

You might assume that a billionaire's drive stems
from the for a luxurious lifestyle. However, some
of the world's richest people ascended to their
positions thanks to their ability to watch the
bottom line.
Take Warren Buffett, for example. His $47 billion
fortune put him at No.3 on Forbes' 2010 list of
billionaires, but this ultra-rich investor investor's
success can be partly credited to his frugal
lifestyle. From a very young age, Buffett was
making and investing his money. By the time he
was 26 years old, he had already made and saved
the modern-day equivalent of more than $1
million. This allowed him to start his own
investment partnership, which eventually allowed
him to invest in and take control of Berkshire
Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A). And the rest, as they say,
is history! (For related reading, see 5 Billionaires
Who Live Below Their Means.)


3. Vision

Most billionaires have a vision of what they think
the world will be like in the future - and how they
can capitalize on it. Take Sergey Brin and Larry
Page, cofounders of Google (NYSE: GOOG). They
(fittingly) tied for 24th place on the Forbes' 2010
billionaire list, with $17.5 billion each to their
names. This pair saw the possibilities for the
internet as a tool for opening up the world of
information to people, so they started a company,
Google, based on a superior search engine that
would help this vision become a reality.
Launched in 1998, the company has since become
the world's most popular search engine and has
radically expanded the internet's scope; the
cofounders' wealth has expanded right along with
it. (Find out where Google's been headed lately, in
Google Takes Aim At Microsoft.)


4. Risk-Taking

One thing virtually all billionaires have in common
is that they are willing to take a leap of faith in
their pursuit of success. For some billionaires
such as Bill Gates or Lawrence Ellison (software
giant Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) founder), this might
be dropping out of college to pursue a business
opportunity. But some billionaires have been
known to push the stakes even higher - like
George Soros (net worth $14 billion).
This renowned investor and hedge fund manager
is known as the man who "broke" the Bank of
England by making a multibillion-dollar bet that
the British pound would decline in value. It did,
earning Soros more than $1 billion in a single day.
(To read more about Soros, see George Soros: The
Philosophy Of An Elite Investor and Stocks Soros
Is Holding.)


5. Patience

Not only do billionaires tend to be able to pounce
when the moment's right, they also make patience
a habit. After all, sometimes it takes a while for a
good idea to pay off.
Ever heard of Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN)? It
was founded by former Wall Street executive Jeff
Bezos in 1994. The now-major company started in
Bezos' garage, with only a few employees. Bezos is
now the CEO of the largest online retailer in the
U.S., with a net worth of $12.3 billion in 2010.
However, it took seven years before the company
turned a profit, which it eventually did in fourth
quarter of 2001. It was a major coup after the
dotcom crash, which left many wondering
whether an online business model was viable at
all. Bezos believed it to be so, and persevered until
the world was ready to embrace online shopping.


The Bottom Line

No one said that creating a billion-dollar fortune was
easy. In fact, many of the world's billionaires share
key qualities such as vision, patience and an
incredible fortitude in the face of risk. Luckily, these
billionaire habits are tools that are available to
everyone, free of charge, and could help you move
take a few more steps up your own wealth ladder.

Kaduna Refining and
Petrochemicals Company
(KRPC), will save about $5.33
million daily for the country
when the refinery hits 90 per
cent production capacity, the
refinery’s manager in charge
of production programming
and quality control, Shehu
Malami, has said.

Speaking at a two-day annual
Energy Correspondents
Workshop, themed
“Development Communication:
An Imperative for the Oil And
Gas Industry” in Kano, Mr.
Malami said KRPC, otherwise
known as Kaduna Refinery,
would soon hit 90 per cent
production of its installed
capacity.

PREMIUM TIMES gathered that
the refinery operated at 60 per
cent production capacity
before commencement of the
Turn Around Maintenance
(TAM) in October last year.

Giving the breakdown on
different petroleum products,
the manager said the nation
will save $1.892million daily on
petrol alone.
“The impact of KRPC
operations on the economy
means that if the refinery
operates at 90 percent
capacity, it will save the nation
$1.892million from importation
of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).
“At same 90 percent, KRPC will
save $672,546 daily on
importation of Kerosene, $1.86
million daily on import of
diesel, $176,727 daily on
importation of LPG and
$727,306 million daily on
import of Fuel Oil.
“This represents a total savings
of $5.33 million daily for fuel
products only,” he said in a
paper he delivered.

Mr. Malami said the refinery is expected to produce 4,624,650 liters of PMS (petrol) when it attains 90 per cent capacity in the first quota of 2016 as against its current 60 per cent status of 3,083,100 liters.

According to him, the volume of Kerosene production will rise to 1,849,500 liters at 90 per cent capacity as against the current 1,233,000 liters production at 60 per cent capacity.

Apparently referring to his spiritual endowment, the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has said that he is richer than one of the world’s richest men, Bill Gates.
Teaching the worshippers in the mission during the church’s 63rd Annual Convention on Saturday shortly before the Holy Communion Service on the topic; “Overflowing Cup,” Pastor Adeboye said that if Bill Gates needs shoes, he would have to go to the market to buy them, but that if he should announce that he needs shoes at the Redemption Camp, where the convention took place, the auditorium might not contain the shoes people would donate to him.
“I have houses in at least 188 countries of the world, where we have our churches, so I am richer than Bill Gates. Each time I visit these countries, my children would be struggling and saying ‘daddy, come and stay with me.’
“ If I announce here that tomorrow morning, I need a car to travel to the new auditorium, how many cars do you think would be made available to me by you my children? Those of you that do not have a car of your own, very soon, God will give you your own cars. So, I am appealing to you to become an incurable soul winner before you leave this convention ground and your cup will overflow,” he said.

Serena William is a 33-year-old woman who won her first major at the tail end of the previous century, a simpler era you will recall for its consequenceless Napster-facilitated intellectual-property theft and the looming threat of Y2K. By now, her shoulder should be shredded, her elbow a constant wail of hurt. Instead, she spends her days bageling 20-something moppets who have never known the game without her. The last time a man as geriatric as Serena won a grand slam was 1972. She has won three in the past six months. Her 16-year run is, in the words of Sports Illustrated, “one of the most sustained careers of excellence in the history of athletics.”

But nowadays many do not break this rule alone but gone as far as RAPING and practicing all sort of whores.

"....tenacity, patience, longevity is a key factor to becoming a billionaire" - Aliko Dangote. The more you stay focused, the more experience you get, the more your business expand and the more level of success you achieve.

Those success stories that you hear are as a result of hardwork for many years, as you can't become a billioniare overnight.

Without passion, patience and hardwork being a billioniare will only be a dream.

Do you know anyone that started yesternight and became a billionaire the next morning?

So patience, tenacity, longevity is a key factor.
