Kevin O'Leary's mom taught him this important lesson about success (that he gave to his own kids) via CNBCMakeIt
Many moguls — like Richard Branson and Elon Musk — credit their mothers for teaching them early lessons that had a big impact on their success later in life.
"My mother was very influential in my career because she supported me from birth to last day of college," O'Leary tells CNBC Make It."And then she said to me, 'After this, I'm done. My work is over. You got to make it on your own.'" "I said, 'Mom, that's a great poem, but I need some cash here.' She said, 'No, no, no, no. I've done my work. Now you do yours.'Being on his own forced O'Leary to hustle to achieve success: In 1986, O'Leary founded software company Softkey Software Products in his basement with no cash but a lot of hard work.
