Find out what your competitors are not doing well and do yours well and you will see yourself stepping ahead of them.

7. Create conditions for development
For Bill Gates, achieving success is not one-man thing, it is not all about yourself alone. If there are people you employ their services, endeavor to create an enabling environment for them to achieve their own goals. Assist them to develop their skills and potentials too and never brag about that anytime, anywhere. As you are helping them grow, you are growing as well.

First of all, you should never be afraid of failure. But when you realize you are, don’t allow it stop you, rather face the fear, conquer it and move on. Don’t dwell on your failures, keep on trying until you succeed. Don’t ever think that the great and successful men of all time never failed at any time in their lives. Most of them failed severally but the difference is that they never gave up.
9. pay less attention to success
Bill Gate says achieving great success does not lie in your being too obsessed about it. It is better to keep on trying out new things and success would start coming. Just pay attention to hard work and consistency because your competitor are working day in day out to push you out of the market.
10. Don’t follow the multitude
If you want to achieve extraordinary success in business, don’t ever be an imitator of the crowd. Stick to your own unique way and keep working on it to get the best results. Don’t follow a particular style just because that’s what is trending, rather follow your own intuition.
