Bill Gates

[IntelliCollect]

My grandfather always told me that there is no one to envy and no one to put on a pedestal. Despite Bill Gates' perceived personal shortcomings and flawed business decisions, we can emulate certain business practices that he used to get to the top -- save for stealing intellectual property, if applicable.

Possessing a long-range vision, networking, forming a creative team, learning from failures, and perhaps most important of all, QUESTIONING our own business policies, practices, and procedures may be a general blueprint for attaining financial success.

One Internet marketer, for example, asks his readers to question their business constraints -- the obstacles that get in the way of successful entrepreneurship. He asserts that once business owners become more aware of these constraints, they can tackle and overcome them, and their businesses will inevitably improve, if not flourish.

Of course, we have to think "outside of the box," remain inquisitive, consider all options, and take action! We don't have to be the next Bill Gates; we just have to be our best selves.

Gates went through many situations, and now has the title as the worlds richest man.
Money is power as they all say.

Bill Gates is a good entrepreneur but you also have to admit that he was in the right place at the right time. PC's had just been reduced from the size of whole rooms to models that could fit on a desk. It was a new technology that had not really been made for the retail market, they were mainly used for government agencies but bills vision along with the current point that pc's were on the brink of going public is what made his success. I still remember being 12 year olds sitting infront of a computer with windows 3.1 saying to my father "wow, this is going to be one of the biggest inventions ever. We should really invest some money in microsoft stock." He still kicks himself in the ass for not listening lol

Such a great story

The fact that he is a high school drop out making a substantial amount of money shows you that anyone can accomplish their dreams and aspirations within this world.

I'm pretty sure he finished high school and is a College dropout. Correct me if I'm wrong. I know he dropped out of Harvard, I'm just not sure if he finished high school prior to going there.

Probably the most famous out of the rest of them.

This is a well known personality and we should follow the steps for success

Very smart fellow, and what he did to reach his level of success is something all of us should do to, if we want to succeed.

Yea I think he did finish high school and dropped out like first semester of college or something like that.

Supposedly he never went to actually get a degree but to establish connections for Microsoft.
