What is your passion? In the sales game we always talk about commissions and income opportunities and that it is a profession where you can make a lot of money. The sales game can be very rewarding; however it is not all about the money. Take away all the money and what will you be left with? What do you have passion about and that you would do with or without your money? I believe that once you have a passion and focus on making it a reality, then the success and money will follow. Peter is a very successful rep and the reason he is successful is that his passion is for his family. He has a great lifestyle that means his wife does not have to work, that his kids can go to University and that he has a beautiful home. That is his greatest passion. Peter (another one, not the same guy) is a career sales person and his passion is flying. He owns a plane and every chance he gets he is off flying. That is his greatest passion and he loves to share this hobby with anyone that wants to go for a flight!!!  If you do not have passion for what you do and a passion for “something” then the success and money is not satisfying. Your success may also be very fleeting because you have no passion. For the record, greed is not a passion. I believe that your life will be very hollow if your passion is to build up a pile of money to feed your insecurities and ego.If you don’t know what your passion is, take the time discover what your true passion is. What will your legacy be? If you died tomorrow what are the things that you wish you had done? Who are you? I recently had the honour of celebrating the success of my best friend and being a “Roaster and Toaster” at a large event in his honour. Two things, amoung many that I admire, is his passion for his community. That passion has allowed him to do a great deal of community work that makes a difference for everyone in that city. He also makes it clear that there is “more to be done” and that he is not sitting back and resting on his past success. At the event it was obvious from all the head table speakers that his success was not a financial one – it was the difference he had made in his community, it was his core belief that community and the services we provide are key to a thriving city and his loyalty to this was unwavering. That to me is true passion and what true success is about. A big part of your passion and what you know is important comes from your beliefs and attitude. I had the privilege of seeing Dr Wayne Dyer speak in Toronto several weeks ago. The key to his current message is “Change your thoughts, change your mind”. If you believe you can make a difference you will. If you believe you can’t, you won’t. Dr Dyer’s focus on compassion and love for mankind is becoming legendary. He must be on to something because there were 3,000 people in the room on a Friday night. Sayers Says……… What is your passion? What is your legacy going to be? Where do you get your “jazz” from? Spend some time in the next few weeks and look inward and ask yourself – What am I passionate about? What are your core beliefs and focus in your life?
