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. |

Twenty-three year old Oluwafemi Coker is the Chief Executive Officer of Cokard Creative Agency. He spoke with COMFORT OSEGHALE on how he transformed his talents into a productive venture What does Cokard Creative Agency do? Cokard is a creative agency that does communication design. Communication design comprises graphic designs, web designs and experiential advertising including social media adverts for small businesses. I have always been an art person. I draw and paint. Even in secondary school, I was the only science student who took Visual Arts in my school. I had to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the school in the event that the Visual Arts classes interfered with my studies; they wouldn’t take responsibility because it wasn’t part of my science subjects. I went so far as to take the subject at the level of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination and National Examinations Council. Unfortunately, I didn’t study Creative Arts for my first degree. My plan was to study the subject at the University of Benin or Ife but I had already waited for a year at home. So, it then happened that I was admitted at the Redeemer’s University to study Tourism at a time when I had not been called up for post JAMB either by UNIBEN or OAU, Ife. I did not want to lose the chance although I knew Tourism was not my career path. Even at that, I read up all the books I could find on creative arts. I started studying the works of industry giants in creative arts. As an undergraduate, I made money from arts, designing logos, handbills and flyers for departmental and students’ associations. I would use the extra money I made to augment my pocket money. That was how I coined the name of the company because my friends called the cards I designed Coker cards. When you decided to take creative arts as a career, did you go for any training? Yes I did. I read a lot from online tutorials, books and then I got mentors who were already established in the field of creative arts. I tried to master the craft and started doing jobs for people free of charge. That helped sharpen my skills and made me better at what I did. When the job I was doing became actually good enough, I started charging for it. The whole time I worked for people without charge lasted two year and a half years; it started from school. I had already got a followership from school through friends who knew I was into creative designs. My career actually kicked off during my National Youth Service Corps. I started working with big brands. I met people and discovered that what I did was valuable. It was a profitable career. After my NYSC, although I did a couple of jobs, I was determined to start my own company. I made the decision because I felt a lot of companies were too rigid. Things were often streamlined to a particular way and I couldn’t express myself creatively. I didn’t want that hindrance. Moreover, the kind of job that I did was not the type I could get gratuity for after retirement even though I was working for a company. That was when I decided there was no better time to start off than that moment. When did you start your company?

For you to be successful in life your grade doesn't really matter. A lot of people with 1.1,2.1 most times work for people that had 2.2 while in school e.g Bill Gates and other dropouts billionaires. I was at a seminar, recently where we called on two very successful mentors. You won't believe that one of these mentor was very successful and very respected in the Nigeria Stock exchange, the work she does I don't think anybody in that firm can do it. So, your 2.2 doesn't really matter. This person am also talking about cameout with 2.2. She's very Successful and you too can. My last advice for you is that you should FOLLOW YOUR PASSION, I mean your God given GIFTs. The Most successful people in the world are those that actually follow their passion.

Entrepreneurs spend a considerable amount of time learning how to boost their businesses. Marketing is key to the success of a business and online marketing is ever so important. According to Constant Contact, 84 percent of people say that the biggest difference in small businesses between now and five years ago is the use of more online marketing tools. Every entrepreneur needs to be familiar with this five concepts to maximize online marketing results. 1. Upselling and customer loyalty are profitable. The standard online campaign is expected to sell products profitably. This is also referred to as "single sale campaigns" because each sale is meant to be profitable. These campaigns can turn out to be unprofitable due to rising advertising costs and price wars. One solution is to make it profitable with upsells and the life time value of a newly acquired customer. It is much easier to sell to existing customers than to acquire a new one. Consequently, create a strategy that increases the amount of items or services they order once they have come to trust you. 2. Look-alike audiences do work. Let someone else do the heavy lifting. By installing a few pixels you can allow advertising platforms to collect data about your customers and learn more about their online behaviors. These pixels will then work as a targeting tool and help the advertising platforms to find additional users with similar online behaviors with the goal to increase your online sales. Typical examples are the Google Display Select Targeting and Facebook Lookalike Audiences. Google Display Select targets people who are similar to the ones that visit your site through the search campaigns. It works best if your campaigns have had traffic and conversions for a couple of months. Facebook Lookalike Audiences target either people who are similar to those who already like your page or profiles similar to the profiles of your existing customers. 3. Social media is good media. Many businesses worry social media might be not a good advertising tool. However, social media offer so many targeting methods that it has become a good advertising platform for most businesses. Social media can work better for some businesses than others. As a rule of thumb, test Linkedin when marketing to businesses and Facebook when marketing to consumers, though many B2B businesses have been successful with Facebook advertising. Try Twitter Video Ads, Stumble Upon’s Paid Discovery, Promoted Pins, +Post Ads for Google + and more to reach your target audience. 4. Testing is not immediately profitable. Testing new advertising channels might not be profitable at first but that doesn’t mean that you should pause it right away. You should expect to have new advertising channels converting up to 50 percent more than existing ones. This implies that they have potential and simply require tune ups or optimizations before scaling up the budget. Testing is especially advantageous for accounts that are successful but require more traffic volume to boost sales. 5. Expand campaigns based on what you learn. Using a platform such as Google Analytics is a must for collecting data such as what pages people visit, what products they bought after their first purchase, how much time they spend on certain pages, what pages they visit after, age, gender, geographical area of your customers and more. The trick in using Google Analytics is to take this data and use it across platforms to scale up results. For instance, generate traffic through Facebook, find out what portion of this traffic is behaving well on your site and show ads to only this portion via the Google Search Network. A concrete example would be to find out what services or products people who came from Facebook Ads bought. Step two would then be to make a list of the people who spent the most and show ads to those people on Google with a traditional Google Search Network Campaign.

Making a million dollars is a big dream that many individuals have. The financial freedom that comes with being a millionaire is enough of a lure for any person, in any profession to take on this type of challenge. But how do you make a million dollars with no base to grow off of? The good news is, I have some tips that anyone can use to help them make $1 million from scratch. 1. Find a mentor who has done it. A mentor can be your greatest ally in your journey towards making a $1 million. If you have someone looking out for you who has done it before you can gain valuable insight that can truly make the difference in your success. I did not have a mentor, I was self taught, but I could see right away how much easier my journey would have been with a mentor behind me. 2. Know that you don’t need to be perfect. You don’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to do a perfect job every time, but you must be dedicated. Study hard, learn from your mistakes and never give up. You’re going to fail, and that is OK, but it’s all about how you react to that failure that will help you in the long run. 3. Remember that small gains add up. You are not going to make $1 million in one deal, and you aren’t going to make $1 million overnight. Most of my students and I have made our million dollar goals in small successes, with $1,000 gains at a time. You don’t need to make $100,000 in a single win to be on your way to being a millionaire. It doesn’t matter what you start with. My top student has now turned $1,500 into $2.7 million in 4 years. 4. Use alternative strategies. There are so many traders who lose and investors who fail at the stock market because they aren’t thinking outside of the box. You must be willing to take alternative approaches to really find the success that you are looking for. Things like pump and dumps and short selling may not seem like the most logical step, but they can really make a difference and help you reach your goals. If you take a look at some of my live trades, you will see how often I take this approach. 5. Don’t expect success right away. You are not going to reach your goal in a matter of days, weeks or even months. Don’t focus on how fast you can reach your goal, focus on learning and increasing your knowledge base first. This will help you make a stronger foundation for future success. Remember, profits come as a result of education. 6. Assume you have to work harder than everyone else. So many of us want what others have, but we don’t get it. This causes so many people to make excuses for why other people have the financial success that we desire. Stop making excuses and just accept the fact that you are going to have to work harder than others to get what you want. It doesn’t matter that you are starting from scratch or that someone else has family money or walked into some financial success, in order for you to reach your goals, you are going to have to accept that you will need to work harder than everyone else. 7. Have the right motivations in place. Don’t just work towards your goals for superficial reasons. Yes having money and notoriety is nice, but these are all superficial reasons for reaching your goals. Challenge yourself to be the best you can be and think of the rewards as a secondary benefit. These tips aren’t the only thing you need either. In order to make a million dollars from scratch you need to put in the necessary hard work and dedication too. If you do, you may just find yourself making your first million faster than you ever thought possible. Source: http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/236621
