The #1 Key Ingredient Every Successful Entrepreneur Must Have

“Marketing is really just about sharing your passion.” - Michael Hyatt, virtual business mentor.

Let me tell you this story. It is about myself and how I was able to create a 6 figure income in just a few months because of this secret.

As a divorced mother of 2 teenagers, never venturing from that small town or my small town mindset. I had little confidence in myself. But, one day I began to dream. It was the day my sis won a $10,000.00 scratch ticket. She said we could call in sick the next day and drive to Spokane, about a 3 hour drive, and cash in her ticket. She would give me $500 which would not only cover my non-paid day off, but also have a little extra to help with my bills that month. In 1992, $500 was a lot of money!

In that moment, I began to dream. The mill was once a great income for us. The wages were high, included free health insurance with no deductibles or co-pays! But, that was about to come to an end. Due to environmental regulations, and big government, we were on the brink of closure. We had no choice but to take serious cuts to our wages and benefits, in order to keep our “CRAPPY JOB”.

I began dreaming what it would be like to have enough money so I would not ever need to return to that smoke filled, dusty old mill again! I wondered what it would be like to stop feeling fear and dread for the future and instead feel hopeful about what was possible. Most importantly, to provide a life full of promise for my two sons. 

It wasn’t long before I received a phone call that would prove to be my dream come true. My high school friend was calling me from California. She asked me to be her phone customer and I recognized a possible avenue for me to work this as well and I asked instead if she thought I could do this too. She had never thought for a moment that I, who never left that small town life, would have been interested. Turns out it was a networking marketing company and little did I know that she was looking for representatives too! She said, “Yes! Of course you can! 

The next few months were a whirlwind of excitement, hope and belief that I had found it!

I jumped in with all I had. This was my chance! My ticket out! I believed with all my heart and soul that this was my lifeline and the possibilities were endless.

Because of my unshakable faith and burning passion for a change, I was about to create a new world of BIG things!

My passion and enthusiasm created a huge following of representatives coming into my business. I was talking to everyone I knew. Because my passion was so big, I looked at those who didn’t want to look at my business as if there was something wrong with them. I never once felt a hint of rejection. Only sorrow for them who didn’t see this! I held business meetings in my tiny living room. Before I knew it, people were asking me to join! In a small town, news travels fast. A gal who worked at our postoffice would hold up my checks to the light and see the amount. She couldn’t keep quiet. She would exclaim the amount out-loud! This one particular month, I believe it was for over $12,000 for a weekly check. 

Think about this for a minute. In the 1990’s there was no such thing as ONLINE DIGITAL MARKETING. My Passion was my Internet! It was contagious. It spread to this person who spread it to that person. 

The day I called in “QUIT” to that JOB was the best day in my life. I became a legend in our town so people have said. I was asked to speak at company meetings all over the country. At our annual convention, I spoke in front of 4,000 people on stage! 

What did I have that others didn’t?

What I didn’t have was any of this: experience, poise, confidence, smarts, money, popularity, charisma, or much of anything a great business woman would need. I had a 12th grade education. I never left that small town. 

The only thing I did have was pure GOLD and all I really needed! Though I did not know this then.

The Number “ONE” Secret Ingredient for anyone’s success is this:  PASSION! 

My passion led me to recognize this was my ticket out! It became so huge that I became unstoppable.

My drive and enthusiasm became transferable to others and was contagious. As a result, I was able to attract a huge following of people who were not only interested but buying! I was earning a 6 figure income in no time.

Imagine what you could do to market your products and services online if you only had this ONE SECRET INGREDIENT OF PASSION?

CAN YOU CREATE PASSION?

Passion begins with your “WHY”. 

Why do you want to share your products or services with others.

Why do you want to do this business venture?
