Why do you desire success? is it because you want to oppress people and make them feel less of themselves or you want success because you see other people become successful or you have sufferred too much and you want to come out of that poverty so that you help lift every other person around you or to use it for worldly pleasures because Until you have the right kind of motive you can't attain success. The key traits of successful entrepreneurs are their focus and determination. It’s rarely “about the money†if your motive is the money and not impact then you are missing out a great deal. Great men made money while making a difference. When you set your mind to make a difference in the world every other benefit attached to been successful will come to you. That is why they take the risks they do.
Andrew Carnegie is an example of an entrepreneur who attained huge success despite his humble beginnings.
Andrew Carnegie was born into a typical lower-class family in Scotland and lived in a weaver’s cottage; a tiny house.
The main room served not only as the living quarters but also the dining room and the bedroom for the whole family.
His family was suffering from near starvation and poverty when William; his father emigrated the family to Allegheny, Pennsylvania in the USA. The area in which they lived was very poor. Your background is not the reason your back should be on the ground. If your motive is to cause a big change in the world you will take risks to make it happen. They made money while making a difference not making a difference while making money.
He said," To try to make the world in some way better than you found it is to have a noble motive in life. ANDREW'S MOTIVE WAS that he did not believe in just handing charity out. He wanted help people who wanted to help themselves. One of his famous quotes was, “In bestowing charity, the main consideration should be to help those who will help themselves; to provide part of the means by which those who desire to improve may do so; to give those who desire to rise the aids by which they may rise; to assist, but rarely or never to do all. Neither the individual or the race is improved by alms-giving." Remember, "YOUR MOTIVE TOWARDS SUCCESS IS WHAT MAKES YOU STANDOUT."-EMENIKE COLLINS.
