Thunder Factor: Sick Of The Rat Race?Be successful in Business.

By Ashwin Blackmore

So, why is it that some individuals can shine in any sphere they choose to give themselves to, and others just cannot manage even a glimmer of success, despite their definite talents? It seems unfair, really.But, in truth, research shows us that it's actually the way that individuals think about their potential and skills that really counts most. In fact, historically speaking, many of those who have achieved real greatness have worked extremely hard to get to their end goals. And, it's also true that many were told that they would never amount to anything at all, by friends, colleagues, family and/or peers. The difference was that they believed that they could achieve their goals and worked extremely diligently to do so. Walt Disney who created Disneyland in the USA is a prime example of an individual who never gave up on his dreams. His belief in himself (and others) was profound and inspirational, to say the least.Of course, we'd all like to know the "magical" secret to success, but the real reality is that there are actually so many different factors that must be taken into account, to what makes one a truly successful human being. It's definitely true that hard work and dedication are so important in reaching success. But there's more to success than just plugging away, day after day. Maintaining a focus-driven mindset is pivotal, and can be the difference between success and failure, especially in the long-term.You no longer need to work nine-to-five in a big company to pay the mortgage, send your kids to school and afford that yearly holiday. You can quit the rat race and start up on your own – and you don't need an MBA or a huge investment to do it.Earn a good living on your own terms, when and where you want Achieve that perfect blend of passion and income to make work something you love.Spend less time working and more time living your life,The book is entertaining to read, has plenty of stories and offers bits of wisdom necessary to increase the quantity and quality of ideas that you create multiple times.

Book preview

The road not taken

                            Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

  Introduction

    Your life is message to the world make it inspiring.

I think about this big question a lot: What separates us from them?

I'm talking about the difference between smart, talented, driven people like you and me, who still have to struggle with life's day-to-day challenges--and them. Meaning, the fortunate, super-successful among us--people who sometimes (but not always) have made enough money never to have to be concerned about it again. Self-made billionaires, for example.

The answer I've come up with is: not much. Not much separates us at all. And while that can be highly frustrating at times, I think it's also inspiring.

Sara Blakely graduated from Florida State in 1993, intending to go to law school--but then she did poorly on the LSATs, twice. She took a job at Disney World, hated it, and wound up in sales, cold-calling prospects and trying to sell fax machines to businesses.

She was an excellent salesperson, but it was the challenge of dressing professionally in the Florida heat that led to her true success. She kept her day job, but spent nights and weekends working on the product that would become Spanx. The cold-calling experience came in handy, as just about every adviser, supplier, and retailer she reached out to told her it wouldn't work--but she didn't listen. Her company is now an apparel juggernaut; she owns the whole thing, and her net worth is estimated at $1.1 billion.

Ryan Graves graduated from college, landed a position as a database administrator, and quickly decided it was a dead-end job that really wasn't for him. So in 2010, he started networking and applying for jobs at cooler internet startups, such as Foursquare. But he got turned down.

Rather than let this dissuade him, Graves started doing business development for Foursquare anyway--traveling around Chicago during his off hours and convincing businesses to sign on. His hustle led to an internship--and ultimately an opportunity to become the first employee of Uber. His net worth is approximately $1.5 billion, after only five years.

Kevin Plank got kicked out of one high school and played football at another before going to prep school in hopes of a Division I college athletic scholarship. That didn't happen, so he enrolled at the University of Maryland, where he walked onto the team--and ultimately came up with the idea for his company Under Armour, after growing frustrated by how his uniform became stopped with sweat.

Plank maxed out his credit cards and worked from his grandmother's basement. Finally, in 1999, he bought a $25,000 ad in ESPN magazine that led to $1 million in sales. Now, Wall Street values Under Armour at almost $20 billion, and Plank himself is worth about $3.7 billion.

Nick Woodman failed with his first two startups--EmpowerAll.com and Funbag. To fund his next idea, he and his wife bought 600 seashell belts in Bali at $1.90 each, then drove up and down the California coast selling them for $60 a head. (In fairness, Woodman is the son of a venture capitalist, and he was able to get a $260,000 investment from his parents as well.)

Nevertheless, you probably know his company: GoPro. Woodman's net worth is now approximately $1.6 billion.

John Paul DeJoria was homeless at one point and lived in his car. He grew up in foster care, served two years in the U.S. Navy, and had odd jobs including working as a janitor and--no joke--a door-to-door encyclopedia salesman, before getting a job at Redken Laboratories, which sold hair products to salons.

With a few years of experience and a $750 loan, DeJoria co founded John Paul Mitchell Systems in 1980, which, although it should have gone bankrupt perhaps 50 times in the first year, according to DeJoria, grew into a $1 billion-a-year business. As a hobby, DeJoria also co-founded Patron Spirits. His net worth now: about $4 billion.

Larry Ellison came from the slums to co-found Oracle.Larry Ellison was born on the Lower East Side of New York during World War II, back when that district was still poor and teeming with immigrants striving to survive. At an early age, Ellison contracted pneumonia and was sent to the South Side of Chicago to live with relatives. Despite these obstacles, he was able to educate himself and join Software Development Laboratories, in 1977.This was a crucial move, because in 1982 the company became Oracle. This is a company that brings in $38 billion every single year, and along the way, Ellison -- who stepped down as CEO in 2014 -- managed to accumulate over $46.2 billion in net worth.
