@richard.harpin: 40 years building and investing in businesses. Thousands of entrepreneurs met. The signs of success are never what people expect. It’s not ego. It’s not confidence. Here’s what actually predicts it. First, something extraordinary in childhood. A big sporting achievement, overcoming adversity, running businesses young. Second, someone of real influence who shaped their skills early on. Third, a constant stream of questions. Genuine curiosity. Fourth, resilience, courage and persistence. Look for these four and you’re looking at someone who’s going to win.

If a child runs several businesses it truly is a dead give away he will be succesful. This man has to be joking.

First two. Absolutely incorrect. If anything i think that makes people fail. It’s coming from nothing that drives people. Not being surrounded by someone who helps

Defining "successful" would be a good first start... its not what he's talking about.

My mum & dad taught me how to buy & sell from a very young age & it was drummed into me, you won’t get rich working for someone else, I’ve had several different companies over the years, left school with no qualifications, and I’m doing good! So a lot of truth to what he is saying!

BS 👀 Believe in yourself, is the one thing that will keep you going, believe in your project, or whatever you are creating. The same in adversity, if going through tough times, keep going, because it is temporary.

Growth 🔮 Power :
1. Represent my school since 8 years old and then country in running and wining - ✅ 2. Learned everything myself- … this is missing 3. Yeap i asked and asked - ✅ 4. Everyone says I have resilience ✅ Now I proved that if you want you can! I supported so many of my partners to be successful so I finally got it! For last 5 years work by myself, wrote 4 books and now signed 5 year book contract with Publishing Company . Am I gonna stop on that ? no.. This is my resilience or ADHD not sure 😂 for me any new project/ study boost my dopamine and I have so many ideas for business! So guys with ADHD or not just go through even if you feel is hard! Push, push because you will collect your fruits after 😁 and this is a beauty of that. Good luck 💗
