101 Business Lessons From the Most Successful People in History

Success in business is so much more than having a great product or service.  It takes confidence in yourself, a risk-taking attitude, the ability to follow and fund your dreams, and a willingness to start over if you fail along the way. 

If you fail, stand back, take a breath, and implement the lessons you have learned.  But what about what it takes to actually get started?  For some it takes an educational background, while others find success with their own innate ability to be creative and innovative.
