What is the #1 Key to Success?

What is the Number One Key to Success?

I was recently on a company webinar that focused on the "why" of the business instead of solely focusing on the "products" or "elements" of what the business sold. Many agents were confused as they wanted to learn more about the products.

Well - the reality is, product knowledge falls into 3rd place when it comes to the top three keys to success. There are two keys to success that are far stronger than product knowledge in determining how much success anyone will have at any business venture.

Whereas the number 3 key to success is indeed product knowledge, the number 2 key to success is goal setting, focus, commitment, and action.

The number one key to success is...

Passion! Defined as enthusiasm, excitement, and a deep conviction of the product and program.

Passion is hands down the number one key to success in any business. It is what will keep you driving forward when the going gets tough. It is what fuels your fire of wanting to share with others and help other people. True passion cannot be contained, and people will not only see it, but they will sense it from every fiber of your being

This is exactly the reason many people fail to succeed BIG in their business -- because they are not a product of their business. If you do not personally own or use the products your business sells, it is virtually impossible to develop the deep-rooted passion for the product that is so incredibly vital for your success.

Please remember one very important thing each and every day, and if you do, you'll be so successful you won't know how to handle it. Passion (enthusiasm and deep rooted conviction) is far more powerful than Knowledge.

Comment by Maria on March 19, 2009 at 10:17pm: The spirit of being and existing can already be our true happiness, because our breath we breathe, our sense of belonging, creating an atmosphere of peace around us can be true happiness. Always keeping the smile lifted, not looking back, but looking forward, and by letting things of the past be, is also the way to be happy. Remember, God grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, the wisdom to change things I can, and the knowledge to know the difference. Amen. These are words of wisdom, that can help overcome all obstacles that helps us go on with our lives with real serenity and happiness.
This can also be a key to success. Because when we are happy, we are successful.

Comment by Steve on March 19, 2009 at 4:06pm: I'l agree with passion as the key to drive your business and that the word wraps alot of the ideas around it, like committment, focus and drive. My passion in business is to simply help people and I've tied my 3 main business lines to just that- each having a collateral value to the other. For instance, my advertising business is in play to help the "MOM & Pop" businesses in America, yet they have contacts and possible needs of my other two lines. They may know kids that could benefit from a new educational game where kids have fun yet learn. The other is they may need help in on health and dental costs. They go in a circel or stand alone. Plus, each has the uniqueness of helping someone start up their own business starting with no money or upward costs depending on their ability. That's my passion, helping people.
