Not everyone is programmed to be a successful businessperson, many
people make it but many more fail along the way.
A large part of your future success will depend on your P.A.D.
Thats your Passion, your Attitude and your Desire, these
three things will be more important than anything else in achieving
your success.
You must approach what you do with Passion, a positive Attitude
and the Desire to reach your end goal at all cost, take away any
one of these three elements and your chances of succeeding are lessened
dramatically.
Pick what you have a Passion for doing and turn it into a business
because doing what you love ensures that your business does not
become just another job but something that you wake up too full
of energy and ready to go.
Finding your Passion in life will not on its own guarantee success,
therefore, approach everyday with a positive Attitude that you can
and will succeed, of course, there will be times when self doubt
and outside influences shake your confidence but dont dwell
on these but move forward and find and think of ways to turn the
negatives into positives and with this positive Attitude, youll
move mountains.
The same applies to Desire, it is a must that you Desire the end
result of all your efforts, no use hoping or praying that you will
be a success, you must ache with DESIRE to achieve, anything less
and failure is not far away.
I know an extremely successful businessperson who on first meeting
comes across as someone with a negative attitude towards himself,
saying his lazy, doesnt plan and generally unorganised, however,
speak with him about how he started his business, how his business
is currently operating and where he pictures himself in the future
and he takes on an overwhelming positive Attitude and his Desire
to achieve and let nothing get in his way is infectious to listen
too, especially as he tells you about what he loves to do and his
turned this Passion into a multi million dollar business.
These three qualities can never be underestimated, if you dont
find and live your Passion, approach it with and have a positive
Attitude, plus have an overwhelming DESIRE to achieve, then you
better think twice before going any further with your business dream
because you cant learn these three qualities you MUST have
them as part of your makeup, otherwise, youll remain average,
not successful.
