A
successful business is nothing more than a vision which has persevered
tribulations and obstacles. The founder of the business undoubtedly started off
with a vision and a long-term commitment to do something big not just for
themselves, but also to serve a large part of the society.
Mr James
Oleson, president of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, premeditates this reality.He
once said that “people doubt their beliefs, but believe their doubts. Believe
in yourself and the world will believe in you.”What happens to you when you
believe in yourself, and just why would the world believe in you?
In “Ditch the victim versus victor attitude and carve
your own niche,”
we highlighted the absence of a long-term commitment to personal vision as one
cause of the victim mentality. We said: “When you know you are right, you focus
on what you can control rather than the environment around you that you can
merely influence.”
People who
believe in themselves take action and produce specific tangible results that
doubting Thomases can touch and feel to believe you. They produce wealth, not
worries.Turning obstacles into opportunities: As Napoleon Hill intimidated in
1931, “There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge (read
as we accept as true).”
A key
reason most people born without economic means would rather remain poor and
take no action to transition is the idea of how things will look like when they
fail. This is unlike the wealthy, who instead would look at the same situation
from the point of view of how fine life would be when they have succeeded in
implementing their wealth idea.
The Bible,
Numbers (13:31-33), has a perfect example in Christian life.Both the poor and
the wealthy have dominating visions, the poor seeing doom, which results in
maintenance of the status quo, while the other sees glory waiting and
motivation to follow God’s will.
These
people may live in the same neighborhood and probably went through the same
schools, but will gradually go into separate worlds patronized by different
people around them, each attracting like poles.One group overcomes obstacles,
doing great things and wielding power around the world. The other group —
victims — wonders what happened and looks helplessly for assistance.

Yes, I like this a great deal, Zack. Key point is the difference in mentality that the poor (those with victim mentality)and the rich (those who wield power)have. Note this one thing that while the poor look at an opportunity and fear seizing it because of what would happen if they fail, the rich look at the opportunity an focus on how fine things will be when success finally comes. It is these two things that make a huge difference; the poor shy away because of the fear of the unknown while the rich excel because they are motivated by the vision of the beautiful things to be.
