Top 10 Wealthiest People in the World by Forbes

Forbes has unveiled the updated list of the world’s richest people, showing us again who’s making money around the globe. We’ve extracted the top ten entries of the incredibly long list of 1153 billionaires of the world, and we are ready to share the news with you.

The 2012 top ten list is not that different from that of 2011, with only three new names  marking  the difference between the two. Together, the Earth’s billionaires sum up a whopping $4.6 trillion in personal wealth, which is considerably more than the Gross Domestic Products (GDPs) of the 127 poorest countries in the world, and a little higher than India’s GDP.

New in the top ten are Li Ka-Shing, who is the richest person in all of Asia, Stefan Persson of H&M, who last year occupied the 13th position, and Karl Albrecht, who this year made it to the 10th position on the list.

Bob Parsons Recipe for Becoming a Billionaire

Bob Parsons Recipe for Becoming a Billionaire

Owner of Goddady.com

Bob Parsons, the man behind GoDaddy.com, the largest ICANN-accredited domain registrar in the world, has got a very clear recipe for success, summarized in 16 simple steps. How do you know if his advice is any good? By seeing what it did for Parsons himself.

The 60 years old entrepreneur is now very likely to become the newest dot-com billionaire in the world. Private-equity firms SilverLake Partners and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts are currently thinking of buying Parson’s company for a whopping $2 billion, thus changing the man’s life forever. We guess this is a pretty good reason to start learning his 16 steps to success. Who knows how wealthy you’ll end up in a couple of years?

1. Get and stay out of your comfort zone.

I believe that not much happens of any significance when we’re in our comfort zone. I hear people say, “But I’m concerned about security.” My response to that is simple: “Security is for cadavers.”

2. Never give up.

Almost nothing works the first time it’s attempted. Just because what you’re doing does not seem to be working, doesn’t mean it won’t work. It just means that it might not work the way you’re doing it. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn’t have an opportunity.

3. When you’re ready to quit, you’re closer than you think

There’s an old Chinese saying that I just love, and I believe it is so true. It goes like this: “The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.”

4. With regard to whatever worries you, not only accept the worst thing that could happen, but make it a point to quantify what the worst thing could be.

Very seldom will the worst consequence be anywhere near as bad as a cloud of “undefined consequences.” My father would tell me early on, when I was struggling and losing my shirt trying to get Parsons Technology going, “Well, Robert, if it doesn’t work, they can’t eat you.”

5. Focus on what you want to have happen.

Remember that old saying, “As you think, so shall you be.”

6. Take things a day at a time.

No matter how difficult your situation is, you can get through it if you don’t look too far into the future, and focus on the present moment. You can get through anything one day at a time.

7. Always be moving forward.

Never stop investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new. The moment you stop improving your organization, it starts to die. Make it your goal to be better each and every day, in some small way. Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen. Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.

8. Be quick to decide.

Remember what General George S. Patton said: “A good plan violently executed today is far and away better than a perfect plan tomorrow.”

9. Measure everything of significance.

I swear this is true. Anything that is measured and watched, improves.

10. Anything that is not managed will deteriorate.

If you want to uncover problems you don’t know about, take a few moments and look closely at the areas you haven’t examined for a while. I guarantee you problems will be there.

11. Pay attention to your competitors, but pay more attention to what you’re doing.

When you look at your competitors, remember that everything looks perfect at a distance. Even the planet Earth, if you get far enough into space, looks like a peaceful place.

12. Never let anybody push you around.

In our society, with our laws and even playing field, you have just as much right to what you’re doing as anyone else, provided that what you’re doing is legal.

13. Never expect life to be fair.

Life isn’t fair. You make your own breaks. You’ll be doing good if the only meaning fair has to you, is something that you pay when you get on a bus (i.e., fare).

14. Solve your own problems.

You’ll find that by coming up with your own solutions, you’ll develop a competitive edge. Masura Ibuka, the co-founder of SONY, said it best: “You never succeed in technology, business, or anything by following the others.” There’s also an old Asian saying that I remind myself of frequently. It goes like this: “A wise man keeps his own counsel.”

15. Don’t take yourself too seriously.

Lighten up. Often, at least half of what we accomplish is due to luck. None of us are in control as much as we like to think we are.

16. There’s always a reason to smile.

Find it. After all, you’re really lucky just to be alive. Life is short. More and more, I agree with my little brother. He always reminds me: “We’re not here for a long time, we’re here for a good time!”
