If you really want to become rich someday, one of the stepping stone or road to riches that you need to take is to start up or establish your own business. But not everybody who starts up in business ends up in bed of roses. In fact 95% still fail in business and honestly speaking, managing a business is way more difficult than climbing up the corporate ladder. So leaving your white collar job just to establish your own business doesn't mean you are on your way now to success. Unless that you have the skills and attitude of becoming a successful business person.

What are the traits of the top earner business people?

1. They Have A Solid Bullet Proof Marketing System.

The number one thing that most great business people has is they absolutely great on marketing their product. They use any kind of advertisement as long as consumer all over the world will know the product and will start to like it and buy it. The best example of this is Steve Jobs. He is undeniably good in speaking and promoting the company's products and whether you admit it or not, the power of persuation is mandatory in the field of business. Like is what Anthony Robbins says "Even though you have the great product that will change the world but without the power to persuade, you have nothing."

2. They Have The Patience Of Job

Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.  Of course in the field of business, patience is totally a virtue. If there is no patience, there is no success. As we all know, a big break or great turning point will not just happen instantly. That's why if you are starting up a business, practice now to become patient.

3. They Have The Persistence Of A Bull Dog.

Do you know the KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken)? Behind that success, there is a story about a retired soldier name Col. Harland Sanders who is persistent in life and didn't give up.

One of the most amazing aspects of his life is the fact that when he reached the age of sixty-five, after running a restaurant for several years, Harland Sanders found himself penniless. He retired and received his first social security check which was for one hundred and five dollars. And that was just the beginning of his international fame and financial success story…

Col. Sanders was a fellow who really loved to share his fried chicken recipe. He had a lot of positive influence from those who tasted the chicken. Now, the Colonel was retired and up in age and while most people believed in the sanctimony of retirement, the Colonel opted to sell the world on his cool new chicken recipe. With little in terms of means at his disposal, Colonel Sanders traveled door to door to houses and restaurants all over his local area. He wanted to partner with someone to help promote his chicken recipe. Needless to say, he was met with little enthusiasm.

He started travelling by car to different restaurants and cooked his fried chicken on the spot for restaurant owners. If the owner liked the chicken, they would enter into a handshake agreement to sell the Colonel’s chicken. Legend has it that Colonel Sanders heard 1009 “no”s before he heard his first “yes”.

Ok, let me repeat that.

He was turned down one-thousand and nine times before his chicken was accepted once!

The restaurant would receive packets of Colonel’s secret herbs and spices in order to avoid them knowing the recipe. By 1964, Colonel Sanders had 600 franchises selling his trademark chicken. At this time, he sold his company for $2 million dollars but remained as a spokesperson. In 1976, the Colonel was ranked as the world’s second most recognizable celebrity.

And that's how persistence result to success.
