Is Success All About Passion?

After talking with many professionals in all different positions and industries, I realized that they all define success differently. Some measure it through income while others measure success by the time they spend with family.

Passion has a lot to do with why we do something- why we push ourselves out of our comfort zone to get that extra client, sale, meeting.

My recipe for success is:

1. passion- the seed that is planted in our minds and can only grow

2. smarts- not always book smarts but using your mind to dictate logical decisions and your heart to tell you when to walk away or take the leap

3. Drive to get you through the moments that you are struggling to get one sale and the motivation to keep pushing the boundaries of your business

4. networking- who you know and how can they help you get you where you need to be.

How you define success is the question.
