Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. I figured I would talk to you about learning from others. You can learn some important lessons, from listening to someone who has already “been there, done that”. Who other to learn from, than some great business giants. Bill Gates and Donald Trump for instance. You can look online and find their success stories anywhere. Let me tell you, Bill and Donald have very inspiring stories. Not just them, but you can learn from anyone who has failed and come back to succeed.

There is an old saying, “you can never succeed until you have failed”. It means, you should always learn from your mistakes. This is a great rule to remember. Learning from your mistakes, is the most important thing you can do, to move forward and grow as a business. Almost 95% of businesses fail the first time around. That means the odds are stacked against you. You could do tons of research on knowing your business inside and out. But you will never learn, without hands on experience. You will make mistakes along the way. Nobody is perfect, no matter how hard we try to be. Just take into account the drawbacks of making a mistake, each time you make one. Note what the repercussion of the mistake is, and think of a way to fix or avoid that mistake in the future.

Look up some great business person whom you admire or may be inspired by. For instance, my inspiration is Bill Gates. Even if you don’t have a favorite business person. Look one up online in a search engine. There are millions of success stories of famous business people online. Learn from the best. Learn what their mistakes were and how to fix them. Even the best business people have failed their first time around. Take advantage by learning, how you can avoid the same types of mistakes they have made.

Get inspired by someone. There are tons of famous people that have helped business people like myself, by making their success stories public. Some famous business people go on seminar tours to teach people how to succeed. The only way to succeed is to fail or learn from others who have already had the experience. Did you know, Bill Gates plans to give away 95% of all his money to help people by the time he is old and gray( it’s not too far away)? What could be more inspiring than that? This comes from a man who has quit Harvard Law School, to chase his dreams fail or not. And he is still willing to help people.

Great men like Bill Gates are everywhere. They failed and got pushed by everyone when they first started out. People saying their ideas are too far fetched and crazy. Look at them all now. Bill Gates is probably the richest man I know of. And no matter how many times people squashed his ideas, he kept going. He wanted to go all out when he started Microsoft. People said he was crazy, when his vision was to have a computer on every desk with Microsoft software in every computer in the world. He wasn’t too far off with his vision, because he kept chasing it.

Chase your dreams, but know where to draw the line each step of the way. Learn from the best, how to succeed and make as little mistakes as possible. There may be a successful business person you know and would like to ask questions. Most successful business people would love to give their secrets away for free. They know that only a small percentage will use their knowledge. Don’t fail at your dreams. Don’t ever let people tell you it’s not possible. If you can see it, you can do it. The most successful business people in the world, were all inspired by a vision and a strong passion to make it happen. Find something you like and chase your dreams. Find something you love and do it!

See you all tomorrow and be safe,

Lisa
