Amancio is one of the richest men in the world. He has managed to create a company of rapid innovation, with remarkable logistics and offering, which has helped him set the standard in the world of fashion. His secret lies in having few, but clear, ideas. Which allows him to keep his focus and not digress or not specify ideas.
Remember, it’s no use having many wonderful ideas if you can’t land them and make them a reality.
3. Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) – “Find something you are passionate about. On difficult days it will keep you going.”
Mark Zuckerberg is a controversial American programmer and businessman known for being the creator and president of one of the most famous social networks in the world, and of course, for being one of the youngest men in the millionaire rankings.
If you find your passion and dedicate yourself to it, you will not have to work a single day in your life, because you will be doing what truly fulfills you every day.
4. Warren Buffett (Berkshire Hathaway)… “the ability to say NO is a huge advantage for an investor”
Warren Buffet built a fortune of approximately $127 billion. He is an American investor, businessman and philanthropist. He has led the seventh most admired company in the United States and has increased its value per share by double digits.
Warren’s success as an investor is because he creates his own rules and never breaks them.
Knowing how to say “no” will definitely be an advantage that you will have as a business owner or simply as a person. Why? Because you will have learned to think with a cool head and not with your emotions, which will help you avoid making bad decisions and not doing things you really don’t want to do.
5. Li Ka Shing (multiple business areas) – “It wasn’t luck, I have worked hard to achieve the goals I set for myself”

He is one of the richest men in Asia. He is the creator of a large empire in Hong Kong and more than 40 countries, covering real estate, construction, banking, telecommunications, hospitality, electricity and many others.
His determination, ambition and hard work were motivated by the need to support his family since he was 15 years old. He worked harder than others to fulfill his dreams, the little money he had left he invested in his education (buying second-hand books and then exchanging them with other people for other books). Luck is created by oneself, with determination, desire and a lot, a lot of hard work. This is the philosophy of Li Ka Shing.
Surely, you already realized that everyone has something in common, and that is determination and constant work to achieve their goals.
Did you find someone you identify with more? Excellent! Model their habits and take it as a reference for your personal and business development.
I chose Warren Buffett and he is one of my mentors in the business world.
