Handbook inc.’s Success Super Book : a definitive Consolidation of 25 Perspectives to Guide your Future Success

2. Understand Finance
Now, people all the time will talk about how a well known 
business brand started at one time in someone’s basement or 
garage, so much that it’s become a romantic notion of sorts 
that going from rags-to-riches is what really identifies a true 
entrepreneur. The reality of most successful businesses ventures 
couldn’t be farther from the truth - if you want to make it, you’re 
going to need money. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean you 
need to have a lot of it when you’re just getting started, but more 
importantly understanding how finance works and how to use 
your money to grow in the smartest way.
Robert Kiyosaki is most famous for teaching the world about the 
importance in how financial literacy plays such a crucial role in 
the lives of successful entrepreneurs. Those who live from paycheck 
to paycheck are also those that fill their lives with liabilities - 
car and house payments, credit cards, and other materialistic 
things that cost them money. Those who are financially literate, 
however, understand the importance of building assets - things 
that make them money instead. Once you start having a positive 
asset column, you can then learn how to make even more money 
through investing. 
To be a successful entrepreneur you need to know how to take 
money and make it work for you.

THE SIMPLE 
ADAGE 
“WHEN LIFE 
HANDS YOU 
LEMONS, MAKE 
LEMONADE” 
IS A GREAT 
EXAMPLE 
OF USING 
LEVERAGE TO 
MOVE YOUR 
BUSINESS 
FORWARD. 
3. Grow As A Leader
Once you harness your fears and make the leap to starting a 
business, you’ve already begun the journey of becoming a leader. 
As we’ll discuss shortly, your ultimate success will have a lot to 
do with how you help others find their own. Many of us hold 
successful entrepreneurs on a pedestal much like football fans hold 
a star quarterback or wide receiver in high regard. However, there’s 
always a team that these individuals lead that ultimately leads to 
their success. You must learn how to be a leader on some kind 
of level in order to motivate others to join you in your venture, 
believe in what you preach, or give you money for a product or 
service that you offer.
Just because you need to possess leadership qualities does not 
mean that everybody successful in business has to be the CEO, face 
of the company, or person “in charge”. When Google started to 
really grow, the company’s founders brought in a successful CEO 
in Eric Schmidt to come in and run their company - they were 
engineers, not CEOs. The ability to lead a team or lead the masses 
can sometimes come down to just having the right charisma and 
message to get the right people to do the things that need to be 
done in order for the entire thing to just work. A great soldier may 
be good at leading troops on the field, but not managing the entire 
war. An amazing product designer may also be a lousy salesperson.

TO HAVE 
A TRULY 
HAPPY AND 
FULFILLING 
LIFE, IT’S 
IMPORTANT 
TO KNOW 
WHAT’S REALLY 
IMPORTANT 
AND TO 
DEVELOP 
VALUES 
AROUND WHAT 
YOU CAN DO 
EACH AND 
EVERY DAY TO 
MAKE THAT 
WORLD A 
REALITY. 
But a great leader will discover what they do best and where their 
weakness lies, and know who to put where in order to ensure that 
their company is one that achieves real success.
