Follow your intuition and embrace risk. One prime example is Steve Jobs, founder of Apple. During his early college years, he dropped his classes and took a class in calligraphy.  His intuition to take this class prepared him to design the infamous Apple, the software icon that has changed the landscape of technology. He soon realized his fascination with computers and started his dream from the family garage. That “gutsy passion†to leverage numerous risks has rewarded and revolutionized the world.
Take action to avoid distraction. There are many excuses that could have been used for many of the successful people we read about. They could have allowed excuses to dictate their fate.

Quitting must never be an option. There are thousands of stories about successful people who never gave up, even in the midst of extreme adversity. Cathy Hughes started the largest African American-owned and operated broadcast company in the U.S., and became the first African American woman to head a publicly traded company. Her Washington, D.C.-based company, Radio One, has 53 stations in 16 urban markets. As company CEO, Hughes’ rise from teen mom to media mogul didn’t come easily. Starting out at Howard University’s radio station in the 1970s, she had the opportunity in 1980 to buy a radio station with her husband. The business suffered after previous employees destroyed the station and her marriage ended. She lost her home but refused to give up her company. She and her son slept on the floor of the radio station until she finally turned the business around. Quitting is never an option for the wealth-driven.
