The one trait every billionaire has

I’m Steve Sorensen, and I love reading and discussing business with friends and strangers. However, I must say that many of the people I converse with don’t really see the bigger picture. By bigger picture, I mean people don’t realize just how much the CEOs of the largest companies in the world go through to get where they are.

Countless of today’s billionaires weren’t born billionaires. In fact, they went through years of frustration and anguish, failures and setbacks and heartbreaks, to be where they are now. For a lot of them, it was never about getting rich quick.

While the Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos and Richard Bransons of the world all have different personalities and all have overcome different test and trials, they all did so because of one trait – persistence.

Without persistence, no one would be successful. If you’re the type of person who bows out of an endeavor or a project because you believe it won’t be worth your effort, then I have bad news for you.

Nothing worthwhile in life ever comes easy. Once people realize that, then it’s easier to find motivation. Many of the world’s billionaires have accepted that fact long ago and that’s why they are where and who they are.

My advice to you if you’re looking to be successful in business is build up your character to the point where you know what needs to be done and you’re prepared to do it.

The name's Steve Sorensen. I received my business graduate degree from Iowa State University. For the longest time, I've been fascinated by the huge and often meteoric growth in the net worth of some of the world's most successful companies and have dedicated a portion of my time to tracing the stories of these companies and pointing out the roots of their success.
