Bill Gates Birthday

Bill Gates Birthday

Bill Gates Birthday is 28th October 1955. Thus, Bill Gates is 54 years today (2009) when I am writing this article. How many of you are in the same age group? Than How come Bill Gates is world’s richest person and you are deep in debt or still struggling financially?

Bill Gates had the same amount of time and the same number of working hours a day, week and month. And still his net worth today is well above $ 50 Billion which makes him world’s richest person for last 15 years in a raw.

Well, there are several reasons behind his success. One commonest reason is that he started early. Yes, he founded Microsoft at the age of 20 years only in 1975. And that’s why the compound interest worked on his Asset (Microsoft) for longer time than anyone else’s assets. Just tell me that how many of you have started your own business at this much early age?

Another reason for his great success is that, he did lots of mind work that most of the people don’t do. He used to give around 10 hours of mind work behind Microsoft. I am talking about mindwork and not about the physical labour work.

The labour of mind will always pay you much higher return in the long run than the physical work.

And at last, Bill Gates become world’s richest person because he created Wealth. He created Investments in which literally millions of people want to Invest. Well, yes. Bill does not only build the wealth and did Investments but he CREATED wealth and Investments in the economy by taking Microsoft Public.

Very few people in this world can do this and that’s why they become billionaires,. In 1985, Gates took his Business Microsoft Corporation to the public and sold the shares of this company to literally millions of investors from all around the world. And by becoming a selling shareholder he became a billionaire.

So I think everybody of us should take 3 lessons from Bill Gates – Start Early, Do Mind Work & Create Wealth & Investments in the economy.
