Billionaires First Jobs James Dyson, Jim Goodnight

Billionaire's First Jobs James Dyson, Jim Goodnight The vast majority of the world’s nearly two thousand billionaires are entirely self-made, according to Forbes’ annual list of the world’s billionaires. So how did they get their start on the road to that vast wealth? For the latest in Reuters’ “First Jobs” series, we went out and asked a few of them exactly that: James Dyson: Inventor and founder of the Dyson company Estimated net worth on Forbes’ 2016 list: $4 billion First job: Engineer “In my last year at the Royal College of Art, I met Jeremy Fry, chairman of the engineering company Rotork. He invited me to his home for dinner, and that’s where it all began. I wanted him to invest in a building I had designed for a theater in London. He said, ‘I’m not going to give you any money, but I’ll give you a few jobs.’ “Under his wing I worked on my first engineering project, the Sea Truck, a high-speed amphibious landing craft. We built the first prototype together. He pointed me to the welding gear and said, ‘Go do it.’ I’d never used any welding gear, but I did it. “He let me make mistakes and learn things myself. After we finished the prototype, I said, ‘Now what?’ He said, ‘We make it.’ And then? ‘We sell it.’ It was simple as that.” Jim Goodnight: Co-founder CEO, SAS Estimated net worth: $8 billion First job: Hardware store “When I was 12, my family moved down to Wilmington, North Carolina, so my dad could open up a store called Hanover Hardware. Of course, he put me to work and I did everything from stocking shelves to waiting on customers. “Eventually, I got paid around a dollar an hour, which I spent on things like gas for my car. Remember at the time, gas was only 25 cents a gallon. “Later on, my dad expanded into appliances, so I had to learn how to install refrigerators and stoves and washer-dryers and air conditioners. To this day, I’m still pretty handy. At that job, I learned a lot about responsibility, how to deal with people and interact with customers. It was a good start in life â€" and I’ve been working ever since.” Thomas Peterffy: Founder, Chairman CEO, Interactive Brokers Group Estimated net worth: $11.1 billion First job: Land surveyor “I got my first job during summer vacation at age 12 as a land surveyors’ helper in the Hungarian countryside. The job consisted mostly of carrying measuring instruments, food and water for the team of surveyors. “I recall struggling with my heavy load across an endless wheat field in the August heat, trying to hide my tears. They were not supposed to hire me under 14. Living in Budapest, this was my first opportunity to see how people lived in the country.I slept in a barn on a hay loft. “At the time, all the lands were cultivated as socialist communal farms, but each family was allowed to have about two acres of their own around their house and a few animals. This was where the bulk of the food for the nation came from. “This experience led me to study civil engineering, and when I came to America at age 21, I eventually became a computer programmer.” Mikhail Prokhorov: Businessman, owner of the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets and Barclays Center Estimated net worth: $7.6 billion First job: Unloading cargo from train cars “When I finished my obligatory service in the Soviet army, I took a job unloading train cars while I completed my education. We made good money â€" 40 to 120 rubles per car, depending on the cargo. For comparison, the average monthly salary in the Soviet Union was around 200 rubles. “Sometimes, if we did good work, we would be tipped in the product we had unloaded, as a kind of bonus. So I’d bring home a sack of tomatoes or apples to my parents and that made everyone happy. After a little while, I started to organize various brigades and sort of run the operation. “It was hard physical labor, but looking back, I can say it was the first time I realized my leadership abilities as a businessman. It all happened kind of naturally, not consciously. I just became the organizer and ran the thing. Basically been the same way ever since!”

Whats NOT Wrong with Your Life - Work It Daily

What’s NOT Wrong with Your Life - Work It Daily At an event I recently attended, the program speaker, who was from ComedySportz, asked the audience to pair up with someone else at their table and ask, “What’s NOT wrong with your life?” Once the partner responded, the questioner was told to repeat the question over and over after each answer was given. This went on for about 30 seconds, and then we reversed roles. Nervous tittering trickled across the room. It was an unusual question aimed at provoking thought. Personally, I found this exercise incredibly difficult…my brain struggled to provide a new answer, and the funny thing is, I consider myself a positive person, and try not to dwell on the negatives. I have lots of things to be happy about. But why was this question so tough? Most of us could probably tick off (without batting an eye) a list of things you wished you could fix such as: need to clean house more often, lose weight, take that class you never have time for, or find that right person to date. But why is it so easy to rattle off the bad things but when it comes to quickly pinpointing the positives, we are reluctant to mention them? Credit our parents. “Be modest” was drilled into our heads. “Don’t boast” is another social rule we’ve been taught. These are all admirable etiquette tips to follow, but have we also lost something else along the way? Are we afraid to be centered and happy about our accomplishments? One of the biggest concerns I hear from clients is they are wary about claiming any kind of positive contribution at their employer when detailing their accomplishments on their résumé. There is a fine line between being a braggart (ME! ME! ME!) and someone who has positively contributed to society, community, or business. Oftentimes during résumé consultations, someone will tell me, “I haven’t really done anything.” â€" which tells me they haven’t been able to embrace the value that they have contributed to an organization. Wrong. Everyone contributes something. Case in point: Who is the most important PAID person in any company? (HINT: It’s not the CEO) Give up? It’s anyone who has the first point of contact with a customer. Without customers, the company is dead in the water. So while the CEO may get paid more, the person on the front line is actually holding the future of the company in the palm of their hand by how they interact with the customer. That's a positive contribution. An important career management tip for everyone (myself included) is to take a deep breath, do an inventory on your positive contributions, and accept being centered on those things without being ashamed. You aren't boasting. You're simply balancing the negatives with positives. Similarly, you need to be in the moment to celebrate the things that aren't wrong with your life. Remembering and cherishing those positive things will help you get through the bad times and give you sustenance to make it out to the other side. Be connected and celebrate the things that are going right…it’s okay, and it will help make your life more fulfilling. And believe me, I am thinking a lot about my experience so I can also be in the moment with the things NOT wrong in my life!
