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 Chris Capre on March 13, 2009 at 5:02pm: wow, great timing as I was just losing some momentum on some work things so I am glad you reminded me of the main ingredient and driver of my success

I also believe that if you couple passion with persistance you have an unbeatable combination. The never give up attitude is essential. Sometimes we need to change direction or change our methods and we need to listen to that because we do get guidance but never ever give up!

Comment by Lynn Clifton on March 13, 2009 at 4:56pm: My #1 key is enjoying the quality of life. If I like what I do, I'll do it well. If not, what's the purpose?

Comment by Debbie Pipkin on March 13, 2009 at 4:55pm: I think commentment,passion, and faith.

Comment by Marie Tucker on March 12, 2009 at 6:14pm: I truly believe passion is the #1 key. When I started my VA biz in July 08 I was so passionate about it, working it and learning more about it, seeking out other VAs that it was phenomenal the success I was meeting, the people and opportunities that were drawn to me. I also learned about the law of attraction about that time as well. However, in December my passion started to be directed elsewhere and was less on my biz. As a result of that and perhaps the holidays, end of the year, economy worries (whatever) my biz slowed way down. It stayed that way for a couple of months. For the past several weeks now my passion has been directed back to my biz and a new venture (affiliate marketing) and the response is exploding again! Passion is an incredibly powerful tool to help you get what you desire.

Comment by Craig Deane on March 12, 2009 at 5:45am: Thanks. Passion is without a doubt something that will greatly help everyone succeed, with no passion for what you are doing then you will struggle.

Comment by Sherry on March 11, 2009 at 5:26pm: Planning is certainly the key. If you fail to plan, plan to fail. Plan with the end in mind. If you want to make a million dollars this years, back into it. What will it take to make that million. Do what it takes, and plan in manageable timeframes.

Comment by Jane Burch-Pesses on March 11, 2009 at 2:34pm: As a health care practitioner, I am intrigued by the focus part of Key 2. We have more hyperactive kids now because we have a more hyperactive society. To be happy we have to develop our ability to focus. Meditation is the best way I know of to develop that ability. (No, I don't teach it. I want to do more of it myself.)
