John's Keys to Success
John is a incredibly accomplished and successful businessman. As such, he is quite popular as a mentor. He enjoys showing young professionals the ropes. The first thing he says is that his career has recently not always been smooth sailing. In fact ,he learned a number of lessons along the way. "First and foremost", Jhon said, "don't believe that success is ever mana form heaven." He said that everyone he had met had a similar rags to riches story, and that a lot of hardwork had gone into the success.
John believes in hard work, but also in recognizing in right opportunities. "It's absolutely essential to never spread yourself too thin". John advised "If you have too many irons in the fire, you'll certainly miss out on real opportunity" he continued. "I've seen people as busy as bee who really never seems to do anything" he pointed out. The more I thought about this advice, the more I understood what he was saying. If you put on your thinking capacity, you'll realize that it's impossible to really conectarte if you have to worry about fifty different things.
Another important lesson was that it's important to know which side your bread is buttered on and make sure to give that activity your full attention. In other words, you need to ride the gravy train. Don't start looking for new challenges if everything is working out for the best !
Jhon stressed that the most important ability of any successful entrepreneur was to have the presence of mind to not only take advantage of opportunity but also to keep your eye on the ball. Some people are quick on the uptake, but then they get bored. It's important to be consistent, but not spread yourself too thin. Finally, make sure to never show your hand to your opponents. In any case, that's how to be successful according to John.
