Hope everyone had a great weekend, we spent most of ours in hockey arenas as our son enters his final games and playoffs for their competitive hockey team – I swear, it is much harder on the parent’s nerves watching your child in competitive sports than they feel playing it.
There were some incredibly exciting games, some great plays – even at this early level of 7-9 year olds.
Sitting, watchin the games it became very clear what separated the great scorers from those that achieved mediocre results – and it’s the same no matter what you do in life.
Those who had a passion to for the game, a desire to score that ran so deeply they forgot everything else going on around them led to second and third efforts typically ending up in a goal.
What was most interesting about all of this is that the highest achievers didn’t have the skill or ability of a few others, but they achieved results over the year that were 10X greater – due entirely to their desire.
Not only were they able to make the big plays, they attracted the attention of their team – other players would watch for them looking to set them up for a goal. In the dressing room, they were an inspiration to the other players, someone all of the other players on the Kanata Jets looked up to.
It’s strange how consistent the pattern is with success in business.
Those who have the passion, the desire to achieve, the motivation to succeed will let nothing get in their way, attract others to them helping to succeed and almost always get their biggest wins from a second, third or even fourth effort.
What about you – if you have struggled with your online business, have you examined your business to see if you have the level of passion required to win – and win big?
So many people are looking for “something” that works to help them escape their current sitiuation they overlook the single biggest factor to success is finding that special “something” for you that really stirs your passion and for which you cannot fail.
We often get it backwards, looking at what has worked for someone else is not likely to work for us since we could very well have a set of desires, goals, interests and skills that differ highly from others.
When you assess any online business – check the passion factor first. Imagine yourself building a giant business – work through the steps and guage your level of passion and interest not in the end result, but in the act of getting there. Will you love it?
If not, then forget it and move on to something you will absolutely love, and that you will make work no matter what.
