Bill Gates Philosophy For Success

In Mike Shanahan's book, "Think Like A Champion" he discusses Bill Gate's philosophy of success listed below:

1. Set your goals
2. Believe you can achieve them
3. Maintain a positive attitude
4. Understand the team concept
5. Plan
6. Sacrifice
7. Compete
8. Communicate
9. Finish

This philosophy sounds very simple. The problem is that too often we simply do not take the time to follow these 9 simple actions. John Maxwell says that the two hardest things to get people to do are to think and do things in order of importance.
