Every successful businessman has his own secrets of achieving prosperity in business, but there are also universal recommendations that work for almost any person in any field of activity. Business Insider has compiled a list of tips for your success.

1. It is not at all necessary to turn your favorite hobby into work, but the work should be enthusiastic. If what you do matters to you, everyday work will only bring pleasure.

2. If the job isn't exciting, consider the benefits. For example, decent wages or bonuses help provide for a family and this can be a great incentive.

3. Surround yourself with positive people and you will get positive results.

4. If you spend most of your time doing what you do best, you are more likely to be happy.

5. And vice versa. If the bulk of your time is spent correcting mistakes, irritation will build up.

23. There will always be people who have achieved less than you.

24. You will never have all the resources (time, money, staff, etc.) required to implement a project or operate a company.
