6 Essential Success Tips from Ray Kroc

A while back, I read Grinding It Out. It tells the fascinating story of how Ray Kroc built McDonald’s.
One interesting thing is that he only started building McDonald’s when he was already 52! You might think that at that age someone’s ‘golden age’ has passed; they wouldn’t build something new, let alone something big. But the story of Ray Kroc proves otherwise. It proves that it’s never too late to build something big in your life.
I learned some success tips from his story. Here they are:
1. Believe That the Best Is Still Ahead of You
How could he make such a big commitment at the time when most people already think about retirement? How did the possibility even enter his mind?
A key factor was the mindset he had. He believed that the best was still ahead of him. He was eager for something more. He didn’t just stay in his comfort zone.
This mindset, if you have it, can make a big difference in your life. Believe that the best is still ahead of you. Believe that there is more to come.
2. Always Be on the Lookout for Opportunities
When you believe that the best is still ahead of you, you will be on the lookout for opportunities. You will open your eyes for them.
Kroc already had a good business selling multimixers at that time, but he didn’t stop there. He kept looking for the right opportunity. Eventually, he heard good things about a restaurant named McDonald’s that intrigued him.
Being on the lookout for opportunities helps you recognize an opportunity...
