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 Leah Elise Curry on March 15, 2009 at 6:54pm: I agree totally with this assessment because without passion, commitment and management skills combined what is left is the 9 to 5 mentality. Go to work, maybe be productive or not, go home...ditto for the next four days. Enjoy the weekend without worries and back to ditto for the next five days. This may earn you a paycheck, but you will never develop a sustaining business of any type.

Product Knowledge is the only element that I somewhat disagree on because as long as you are skilled you don't always have to be the expert in regards to your personal knowledge of the product. As long as a trusted employee or partner that is involved in the business is the expert and is continuing being educated on the product, they can share their knowledge with you. The skill comes into play because as the owner or manager of the business you need to know how to manage, market and plan for the business.

Comment by Brad Bederman on March 15, 2009 at 6:29pm: Passion always comes first. It leads to commitment, discipline and ultimately, hard work. Without hard work, success is rarely attained!

Comment by candlelady on March 15, 2009 at 5:43pm: I could not agree with you more, the product is the backbone and you have to believe in it to sell it, downlines usually just fall into place when you don't loose sight of the product.
I always have 2 candles in my car, one burnt one to show its clean,even burn, and scent still there clear to the last light, then of course one or 2 to sale along the way.

I agree with many of the above comments. And I feel it is quite a tough task to define that #1 key to success in business because there are several keys which come together with synergy to produce great results! But, I feel that when the flag is down, it really comes down to having the courage to stay true to your path, look fear in they eye boldly and continue unwaveringly to the the finish line!
