If they decide, for example, to open a restaurant in a region where other establishments have already closed, they usually think: “Okay, they couldn’t succeed, but why not me? Accepting risks is a priority in the life of anyone seeking to achieve great goals, and self-confidence is fundamental.

It is undeniable that people’s wealth has a direct relationship to their attitudes and choices.

“Becoming successful is no different than becoming good at anything else, whether it’s losing weight or teaching a second language,” wrote millionaire Steve Siebold, author of the book “How Rich People Think.” As the “Business Insider” website explained.

Figure out what the best option is and then make it available,” explains Jon Burgstone, entrepreneur and professor.

Wealthy people know one thing for sure and with certainty: failing is part of the process, and being successful without ever having failed is impossible.

It doesn’t mean, logically, that they are people who wish to fail, but when it happens, they can learn and improve their own strategies.

Anything is better than giving up without ever having tried.
