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.

Great post. I believe that passion is one of the many keys to success in business, but for me the #1 key is having faith that I can achieve whatever goals I want. After all Faith is the substance of things hoped for but not seen. Yes their are going to be trials and tributlations, but I know that with hard work, determination, and having Faith I will succeed.

Much continued success to you.

calls to action that I see every day.
This is a good reminder that helps someone like me to focus on what is important.
The reason that I am working and the reason that I started my venture is for families who find
that their precious pet is missing and they feel lost as well.
Thank you for the reminder and the encouragement to show the passion that I feel.

Comment by Vivian Eisenecher on March 16, 2009 at 11:45am: Yes. We can't be very good at goal setting, focusing, commitment, and action unless we are driven by enthusiasm. Please see my blog post "Authentic Success" at www.recoveringme.com/blog.
