Business success – ‘mind set’ or money?
The more business owners I meet, the more convinced I am that ‘mind set’ not money is the key ingredient for building thriving companies. It is the resourceful, ‘can do’, fearless, capable, decisive, organised, realistic, empathetic, effective people who create successful businesses, more often than not from zero or near zero capital. There are others who are just too slow, too negative, too fearful, too idealistic, too ponderous, too muddled and too inward looking to ever really make it.
People with a business brain move faster and more logically and therefore stand out from the commercial crowd. They are resourceful enough to create what cash they need and in many cases people are actually falling over themselves to give them money as they recognise ‘a winner’ when they see one. Bet you know at least one person like this?

I believe it is absolutely the mindset that is the defining factor in whether a person will be ultimately successful. I think of it like this, if I could take all of Richard Branson’s money, resources and credibility from him, so he would essentially be in the same position as the average man on the street, would he be able to launch another successful multi-million pound business? I’m not a betting man (well, not at least in the sense of going to Ladbrokes) but my money is on him creating yet another multi-million pound business. Why? It sounds ridiculous but I believe it is because he has the mindset and attitude to make it happen again. He simply needs to replicate the experience and actions that he knows has provided him with success in the past. I believe a multi-millionaire entrepreneur could be totally robbed and build another large business from scratch.
