8 secrets of success

Ever wonder what makes successful people as successful as they are? What did they do to get to the top? Are they exceptionally clever? Are they very street-wise? Were they simply lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time?

Analyst Richard St. John interviewed over 500 successful people, and asked them what made them successful.

It took him 7 years to gather a wealth of information.

Then he condensed it all into an unforgettable 3-minute video slideshow,  which he delivered to a very appreciative audience at a meeting of TED Talks.

This is a really powerful short video. I’ve used the free programme Super C video converter to make it into 3GP format, so I could store it on my cellphone and watch it whenever I feel I’m losing focus.

It will play in Apple’s Quick Time Player.

And it’s the format for playing on most cellphones, so please feel free to download it and view it whenever you’re stuck in a business rut (3GP file 2.61MB).

If you prefer the larger original format, you can get it on this page at the TED Talks website.

Enjoy, and be inspired by, Richard St.John’s powerful 3-minute video, ‘the 8 secrets of success’…
