Every successful person you meet points to some kind of mentor relationship that helped them unlock the secrets to success.

There's no arguing that observing people who've been where you want to go can help you get there faster.

Here's some lessons learned from Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos on how they got where they are today.

One of the best ways to earn success is by finding a mentor. Mentors can guide you and give you advice on how best to find your success. While it is highly beneficial to find a mentor you can directly communicate with, learning from others’ success is helpful as well.

Do you think that you can learn important lessons from the richest people in the world merely by studying what they did to become successful? Absolutely. In fact, many of these individuals are more than happy to share how they gained their financial wealth.

Look at these lessons from the richest people in the world and see what you can learn from them.

Mark Zuckerberg

Who hasn’t heard the name of Mark Zuckerberg? The founder of Facebook is a great role model to emulate if you want to be successful. At 31, Mark Zuckerberg was already worth $46 Billion and that number has only continued to grow. When you look at his story, there are several lessons that you can learn from his success.

Mark started Facebook in 2004 in his Harvard University dorm room. The project started out as a simple way to connect Harvard students but quickly spread to other universities. By 2012, Facebook had grown to one billion users and it continues to grow to this day.

Mark Zuckerberg teaches other hopeful entrepreneurs that they are never too young to reach for their dreams. You may not think you are rich enough to start a business but remember, Zuckerberg only had a computer while he was at school. If you have any of these thoughts while trying to be successful, follow Zuckerberg’s example and just go for it.

Bill Gates

We can’t have a list of “lessons from the richest people in the world” and not include Bill Gates. The founder of Microsoft is worth $81.8 billion and is the wealthiest person in the world right now.

As Mr. Gates’ fortune has grown, so has his gratitude. He said, “There is a certain responsibility that occured to me when I got to this unexpected position.” Because of this, he founded the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation with his wife. 

This foundation is dedicated to education, poverty, and healthcare and is the largest foundation in the world. The lesson here is simple: Be grateful and appreciative of all the help that you receive from others. You don’t have to be incredibly wealthy to do that. Then, do what you can to help those who need your assistance.

Richard Branson

Richard Branson is a business magnate and has had his hands in several business adventures. Though only worth a mere (compared with Gates and Zuckerberg) $5 billion, Richard Branson still has advice worth hearing.

Branson has always pushed himself. When he was 16, he created a newspaper and when he was 22, he created Virgin Records. That brand carried over and he now owns a group of businesses, all under the Virgin name. Several of the businesses he helped start wound up being failures, but Branson hasn’t let that get him down and in that lies the lesson. Besides having big dreams and always pushing for those dreams, you can’t let failure stop you from succeeding. Instead, take your failures, learn from them, and try again.

Jeff Bezos

Currently sitting at the second spot on the Forbes Billionaire list, Jeff Bezos is worth $71.6 Billion. The Amazon.com founder started his business with the idea of simply selling books online but has quickly grown to selling anything you might ever need. This is due to Jeff Bezos’ philosophy about trying and failing.

In a similar vein to Richard Branson, Bezos doesn’t mind failing at trying new things. In fact, he argues that that is what brings about inventiveness. “If you double the number of experiments you do per year you’re going to double your inventiveness.” Amazon.com has experimented with many different services and products over the years and while some failed miserably, others achieved greatly. Don’t ever be afraid to experiment in your business. While some of your experiments will fail, others will succeed beyond what you ever could have imagined.

These 4 lessons from the richest people in the world are sure to help you on your way to success. Though these individuals have all come from different backgrounds and have made their money in different ways, their advice is universal. Use their stories to motivate you on your way to financial freedom.
