How can we learn to be successful from people that are dead?

You'll always here me talk about how people that have been at the top of the chain in life
have traits that are connected with each other. Over the weekend I had put some thought into 
this subject. For whatever reason, I think of really weird dumb things like this. I guess the more I think
about it the more I realize I'm pretty weird.

So while I was deep in thought I was thinking about the traits that dead people and current leaders have in common.
What I realized could be code to craking some areas in your life.  I feel they could do the same in my life.

Here's a weird list for you -

Successful people dead or alive:

They are all self-appointed - This simply means they didn't have to have permission from anybody else to do what they were doing.

Death before dishonor - Every successful person that I've seen all had what I call the eye of the tiger. Each and every single person was
willing to die over their belief and cause. I don't care if they had family or what was going on in their lives. They were willing to die for their cause.

Unique style - Each one of them had a unique style that basically told people around them to #$$$ off. Donald Trump has weird hair (which he knows about).  He does this on purpose to basically tell people around him, "Hey! I'm not like you." Other success people that do this are: Pink, Kid Rock, Madonna, Snoop dog, Lincoln, George Washington, Mark Cuban, and other famous people.

Influence - Successful people not only have great people skills, they have the ability to make other people feel important and they influence others to buy into their thoughts.

and the last one I'll cover for today is...

Value - They have the ability to deligate to others and replace themselves so they not only turn a 12 hour day into solid work, but they turn a 24 hour day into a 100 hour day through the leverage of other people. They also create amazing value for other people.
