THE OLDEST, SIMPLEST SUCCESS LESSON
By John Ingrisano on Aug 27, 2008 in Quote of the Day, Recommended Reading
It’s a one-word answer, and you already know it. Super success has little to do with having a terrific product. It has little to do with whether you are wearing a smart suit or have that Pepsodent smile (remember that one?) It’s not about being smart or slick or even charming.
It’s attitude. If you are reasonably good at what you do — and, most of all, if you are confident and sure of your own success — you will be successful. I guarantee it. Oh, you may fall in the mud one or twice or a few dozen times. But if your attitude is screwed on right, you…will…succeed.
Recommendation: Not sure where to get that attitude stuff? Start where I started more than 30 years ago, when I was a highly educated, reasonably intelligent, total failure, with an almost corny (but amazing) book: Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude by Napoleon Hill and W. Clement Stone. Within one year of reading this book, I had transformed my life from failure to success.
Good luck and good reading. And remember: Attitude! — JRI

The entrepreneur must be, above all, confident in his own abilities, and it must not be blind overconfidence, but confidence in himself as a competent individual. These qualities hold true of many people who are not entrepreneurs. Many company middle managers, for instance. But the quality that truly sets the entrepreneur apart from all of the others is that the entrepreneur is willing to place his time, money and very life at risk for a dream that he is creating.
