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 Henry Kretchmer on March 15, 2009 at 2:26pm: For me the #1 Key to Success is believing that you can be successful and never give up until you are successful. Success is however a very vague term in a certain sense because it means something different to every one of us. Success to one person could be earning another $100 a month or spending more time with the family or buying that new car, etc. No matter what it is, it makes you feel good when you achieve the goal you set as long as you set a goal when you started. For me personally I always set goals for myself and constantly visualize my self-achieving that goal. Many people think that is a little weird but visualizing a completed task will make it happen a lot quicker than just thinking about it casually. Here is a quick example: How many times have you thought about calling an out of town friend, maybe daily for a week, then all of a sudden they called you or sent you an email saying I have been thinking about so I thought I would call. When things like this happen, it strengthens my belief that, if you think it - it will happen.

Comment by Snake River Roman on March 15, 2009 at 2:01pm: I may have answered this already, but I don't see it here so I'll try again. I agree with Sup.biz.COO. I think that if you don't believe that you can do something or if you don't believe you deserve it then you don't have a chance of making it a reality in your life. Belief is the number one key to success.

When you have the belief than all else just falls into place and doesn't feel like owrk at all.

Comment by Greg Booth on March 15, 2009 at 1:58pm: Belief in what you do, which involves confidence in yourself and your product. No one can sell something effectively if they don't believe in their product, but likewise if they don't believe in themselves, they won't get very far either. On the other hand, if you honestly believe that you are providing a service that people need with what you offer, often success will come almost effortlessly.

Comment by Snake River Roman on March 15, 2009 at 1:51pm: I agree with Sup.biz.Coo. Belief is the number one necessity for success in any endeavour. If you don't believe you can do it or that you deserve it all else is a waste of time.

Comment by Doug Cox on March 15, 2009 at 12:46pm: I think the No.1 thing is MINDSET. Without the proper mindset you will get lost in the quagmire!
Never give up! Remember success is a journey not a sprint. You will have to go through a learning curve that YOU will have to have the determination to get through. Stay focused on your why and stay in communication with like minded people. And find good mentorship that can show you the ropes. You can find all of that at www.wealthleveragingsystem.com

Comment by Patrick Sanders on March 15, 2009 at 12:02pm: The primary foremost key to SUCCESS is finding something that
you enjoy doing. If you aren't happy with what you are doing, failure
is the guaranteed end result. Realize that the source of serenity is not
outside but within yourself and only you hold the key. It doesn't matter
what you think or how you feel, it's what you do that counts. Once you
find that something that you enjoy, learn to make use of energy generated
by excitement to strengthen your will and achieve your goals with lifelong
persistence one day at a time.
