Copy other people's success (copy the best from around the world), ask advice, work hard, and watch the botton line. Also, be organised.
When asked How he applied that to his Electronics Store he said... electronics stores Used to be where you walked in, stood in line and the guy behind the counter got your stuff - but - the best stores overseas had a checkout and let you walk around the store and get the stuff from the shelf yourself.

He also said most people are Afraid to ask for advice.
