How to be a Success!

illionaire business owners have already made the mistakes for you, and are happy to dish out advice from their own tough lessons. You only have so many years to build your empire, so why spend them learning the hard way what successful predecessors(...) already have? Of course, the same rules aren't going to necessarily apply to you or your business. It's all about adapting the rules to fit your agenda.
1. Davis Rubenstein, Financier: " Persist and don't take no for an answer. If you're happy to sit at your desk and not take any risk, you'll be sitting at your desk for the next 20 years." This is perhaps the first rule of business that applies no matter what. Without determination(...) and ambition(...) along with a peppering of innovation(...) , you're not going to get rich, and you're certainly not going to head a successful business.
2. Carl Ichan, Businessman, Shareholder and Investor: "The cardinal(...) rule is to have enough capital at the end of the day." Yes, taking risks in business is a must, but you have to keep some stability(...) (and cold hard cash) as your safety net. Without capital, you're not going anywhere. For many business owners, obtaining capital is by far the most frustrating part, and there aren't magical investors on every corner. Pursue every option, from bank loans to asking family and friends. You never know who might say yes.
3. Mark Cuban, Investor: "What I've learned is that if you really want to be successful at something, you'll find that you put the time in. You won't just ask somebody if it's a good idea, you'll go figure out if it's a good idea." There's that idea of hard work and persistence again, just wrapped up in another package. Cuban is one of the richest men in the world, and he credits effort with his success. Don't second guess(...) yourself, and remember that trial and error is the best teacher. Lastly, don't be so quick to overlook something just because it seems obvious. The most important rule of all is to make your own way, based on research, experience and what you glean from the greats. Innovation is at the heart of getting rich, but it's not without using the past as a framework. (Reading text adapted from inc)
