Teen Millionaires – Four Lessons To Learn 0
I stumbled today on an interesting video from The Morning Show on YouTube. It is posted by Cameron Johnson, and it focuses on teenagers, who became wealthy to very wealthy by having great ideas and being passionate about it. I don’t really want to spend too many words on it at this point, here it is:
I find this video extremely inspiring, and actually there are four key points which have gotten my attention:
Passion
Whatever you’re doing, you need to have a passion while doing it. Without passion, you may do things correctly, but you will not be able to deliver the highest possible service and quality. I find passion is the first quality it takes to become truly successful. Additionally, having passion in what you do makes it fun, and you create the willpower to continue going.
Put yourself out there
It’s okay to read through some theory sometimes, for example on how to write a business plan, or how to do you accounting. But the most important thing is to put yourself out there and just give it a shot. Spending too much time on theory might actually be very demotivating, since all the theory is so overwhelming. In the end, you’ll learn what you need to know throughout the process. Additionally, if you have a business idea that might be great and could work, just do it in stead of finding reasons why it should not work.
Start small
“I would immediately start a business, if I had the capital to do so”… I hear many of my friends saying this (including me from time to time… but I am improving). Starting up a business does not have to be expensive. Think about starting up an internet business, or an eBay business, or writing an eBook. Also, being a consultant of any kind does not need to be all that expensive. Many businesses can be started small, and built from there.
Have a mentor
Many millionaires come from families, who are businessmen themselves. As such, they already have a mentor. If you don’t know anyone who has his/her own business, it does not necessarily mean you cannot have a mentor. There are so many great books out there, written by well-known personalities such as Donald Trump or Richard Branson. Or how about Carlos Slim Helú. You might not know these people for real, but you can still read their biographies and learn from their lives.
I find this video very inspiring, and very refreshing that as an adult, I can still learn one or two things from people who are half my age. And I surely hope, that these people will keep inspiring the world with their stories in future also.
