Week 7: What is a successful business

A successful business, from my viewpoint, is the one which makes you feel fulfilled and with which you can help people or make positive things. Looking in the internet, many people who are now millionaires think that what you have to do to find a business in which you could success is to think what annoys you. For example Richard Branson said: "The best business come from people's bad personal experiences. If you just keep your eyes open, you're going to find something that frustrates you, and then you think, 'well I could maybe do it better than it's being done', and there you have a business."

In addition, Arianna Huffington says that if you are going to start a business, you need to really love it, because not everybody is going to love it. When The Huffington Post was first launched in 2005, there were so many detractors. She remembers a critic who wrote that The Huffington Post was an unsurvivable failure.


The best five steps you must follow to success at any business would be using your leverage. This means that what you have to do is to look constantly for new ways to create profits and new opportunities each and every day. Having the right attitude is also fundamental to face possible problems which may occur. Showing gratitude is another step you have to follow. Always be grateful for the things we have and have a possitive mind when problems occur. Staying healthy would be the next step. It makes no sense that you have the best business if your health is horrible. Keep your health as a priority always. Finally,  the importance of the family is elemental. If your family supports you, you may have a motivation and you would be more careful when deciding what to do with your business.

Finally, what I have done to improve my english is to watch a new film called "Love, Simon", which I recommend because it deals with current teenagers' problems.
