In this industry, we get to meet and interact with many different people.\u00a0 A common thread among them is a fierce drive and determination to do great things<\/a>.\u00a0 What motivates these people to push past adversity and keep moving forward?\u00a0 The answer is that they are fueled by passion.<\/p>\n

A few years ago, we had a company-wide project to determine our mission statement and what truly motivates us.\u00a0 We determined that it is our deep passion to better lives around the world and help people achieve success.\u00a0 That word passion is important.\u00a0 You can be a driven person or have the desire to do something, but to have a passion for something is what will truly motivate you.\u00a0 It is this force that drives people past adversity and makes them excited each morning.\u00a0 It is a pursuit of excellence and striving to be better today than they were yesterday.\u00a0 To be motivated by passion is a powerful and positive energy.<\/p>\n

The opposite way to be motivated is by fear.\u00a0 While effective initially, it is unsustainable.\u00a0 It could be fear of missing out, fear of being left behind, or fear of not being successful.\u00a0 This constant \u201cpush\u201d of fear causes stress, anxiety, and may ultimately lead to defeat. \u00a0Fear can cause clouded judgement and snap decision making, which will likely cause headaches down the road.\u00a0 An amusing analogy is to think of it this way: you can\u2019t push a rope.\u00a0 It may advance a little bit, but eventually everything bunches up and no forward progress is made.<\/p>\n

The truly successful people are those with passion.\u00a0 Think of the great influencers of our time.\u00a0 Their innate drive and determination was almost contagious.\u00a0 This is what you want for yourself and your business.\u00a0 Surround yourself with like-minded people and magic can happen.\u00a0 Now the real question is this: would you rather be pushed by fear, or pulled by passion?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
