In 1995 there was a survey done called the Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics.
64,622 American households were called at random.
From this group, researchers found 800 entrepreneurs who had been in business 3 months or less. (As a control group, they also got together 400 average people as a sample of what average people think).
Each survey participant got a 15-page questionnaire.
As detailed in the article The Psychology Of Success on Fortune.com, the survey basically identified the two mental ingredients that leads to the kind of success experienced by Bill Gates or Steve Jobs.
Successful entrepreneurs:
- Don’t have as many reasons for why they won’t succeed.
- They don’t care as much about what other people think about them.
