1. Money. 2. ... 😀 Well, now seriously. Yesterday I was thinking about what the most influential minds in the world share. What signs or qualities are specific to them? 📋 And I make up this short list: 1️⃣ They went beyond known limits ✅ In other words, they risked a lot and tried to achieve something that wasn't imaginable for other people. 2️⃣ They delegated work to others ✅ They had insight into many things but surrounded themselves with the most knowledgeable specialists or had a "partner in crime". 3️⃣ They created a cult of personality ✅ I am not sure whether one can be born with this kind of greatness or can be gained over time, but it is a kind of charisma that others follow blindly. Of course, I think there is much more, but these are common for the most successful ones. What else did you observe?

Might sound boring but the founders I personally admire all have one thing in common - resilience. I mean everything you said is accurate but in your business you will be faced with significant ups and downs, and unless you have resilience you will falter. The art of never giving up and adapting is what makes them great.

Can't agree more. They started up their career in a new or rarely known realm, regardless of negative comments from their friends and family. And then there's a way out. They created a new demand for the whole industry; attracted, and gained countless target customers by their innovation and brand new ideas. That's how they stand out.

Great list. I also think they build something that they absolutely love and their passionate about it. It's their baby.

@nathancovey yes! Today, I read one chapter from Richard Branson's book (Spoiler: when he had to sell Virgin Records for a while in 93, he couldn't announce it properly to his employees while he was crying and he described it as a funeral of his loved child) – then I went back home, so need to read the rest :D
