Andrew Carnegie arrived in the U.S. in 1848 with barely a dollar to his name. By 1901, he was the richest man in the world. Here are Carnegie’s “10 Rules of Success.”

1. Define your purpose. Create a plan of action and start working toward it immediately.
2. Create “master-mind alliances.” Contact and work with people who can serve as mentors.
3. Go the extra mile. Do more than what is expected of you.
4. Practice “applied faith.” Believe in yourself.
5. Have personal initiative. Do what you have to without being told.
6. Indulge your imagination.
7. Exert enthusiasm – and a positive attitude.
8. Think accurately.
9. Concentrate your effort. Don’t become distracted.
10. Profit from adversity. Learn from mistakes. Reflect on setbacks and move forward.
