Since her humble childhood, full of abuse and difficulties, she has managed to build an empire, being one of the most influential women in communication and the media. As an entertainer, writer and entrepreneur, she has been the role model for miles of people, so let’s share 7 of Oprah Winfrey’s rules for success and learn a little more about her philosophy of entrepreneurship.

Understand your next play
You always have to anticipate situations that will allow you to achieve goals and prepare for what is to come. You have to be a visionary and not stagnate in failures, but use them to point where you want to go but always improving, staying firm with your eyes on the goals you want to achieve and thinking about the next move and what is the best step to follow.
Take advantage of opportunities
Oprah mentioned that nothing in her life has been a matter of luck, despite having many blessings and harmony, as she herself relates, she thinks that luck is “when preparation meets opportunity” and therefore cannot exist luck if you are not prepared to take on and handle the opportunities that arise.
We all make mistakes
Nobody is perfect and is exempt from making mistakes, so you have to learn from them and serve as a motor to move forward. The past should not be allowed to condemn our future for mistakes that have already been left behind, this being one of the most important lessons to take into consideration, since we must know how to value ourselves and understand that as humans, we have the right to fail, in other words, we must not give up, as we explained in our previous article entitled 5 Dan Lok rules for success
Invest in yourself
A person can only give when he is full and for this, it is necessary to work on himself and achieve fulfilment. This refers to investing in your own personality, knowing those traits and gifts that you have to share, the talents to develop, education and giving a reason to the existence, discovering where the power of each one of us is.
Work hard
It is not about the effort of others but of oneself, since we have control over ourselves and not over others. The actions of the environment do not matter but what one can do, give everything for everything, all the time, all the effort, but for yourself, since investment is your growth and the achievement of your goals.
Believe that it is possible and dream
Oprah sees herself as a dreamer and has been confident from a young age that her future would be promising because she trusted her and her potential. She didn’t see herself being a servant, as her grandmother’s expectations were, so Oprah clung to her dream of being something much bigger and that she had something better waiting for her.
We all seek the same
The best for themselves. This is Oprah’s belief that each person wants to achieve the highest and truest expression of himself and that therefore we have more in common than we can think. You can always wish for better material goods but what really matters is finding that fulfilment that allows us to be happy with who we are.
