Successful Entrepreneur: Simon Cowell

A Lesson in Effortlessness
[Video Below]

You've seen him, heard him - watched him ridicule people who likely have mental disabilities - he's Simon Cowell the British...money mogul. He really can't be called much else given to the fact that he says he'll consider any job if it offers a paycheck.business simon cowell

What I like about him - and especially this video - is you hear him admit that he doesn't know anything about the music industry on the technical side. He's basically just a fan with ideas. More evidence that there is no reason for you not to be able to succeed in whatever area you've decided on.

You can also get behind the “I couldn't care less” (about what other people think) attitude that he wears on his sleeve. Cold? Maybe. But that frame of mind allows you to take action where you might shy away - go with the flow in one moment, rather than censor yourself and your idea. Most successful people won't articulate this sentiment very well - even though they all share it - but thanks to Simon he just spells it out for you in simple words.

“I couldn't care less”

Listen to how many times and in how many different situations he sees 2 things that are separately popular, then he just blended them together - and benefited. Not reinventing the wheel - just playing with the design that someone else toiled over.

An entrepreneur or small business owner should be paying attention to

There is something to be said for being a blatant sell-out. And a snarky, mean one at that.

I say as long as he doesn't pretend to be otherwise, bravo to Mr. Cowell for being smart enough to tend to his paychecks.

He is who he is with people - but what really stood out to me from this video was his business accumen - hopefully everyone can pick up a few of his traits on that subject and apply it to their own situation.

I saw about your debt situation - have you seen the debt solution article I did?

Hope it helps.

Make sure you are grounded so you can use that higher energy by directing it towards the things that YOU want. Make it serve you.
