Episode 71 - 5 Gifts of Successful People

5 Gifts of Successful People             If you’re not constantly reading you’re missing out on some of the greatest knowledge and wisdom you’ll ever find.  Let’s be honest, you won’t find it on Facebook or on Sports Center or the Nightly News.             I’m constantly reading.  Right now I’m in the middle of a great book titled simply “Ask” by Ryan Levesque.  I’m sure you’ll see a “tip” from that book very soon.  But recently I was talking with a guy at our men’s bible study and he reminded me of a book I read several years ago – Wild at Heart by John Eldredge.             No, it’s not a business book.  But it does contain one of the “secrets” of successful people, whether in business or in life.   Here’s Your Net Worth Tip of the Day             In the book, Wild at Heart, John shares the 5 “gifts” that we are all born with.  He also shares that when you look around you at the people who are “Successful” they all live out these gifts to the fullest.  Here are the 5 gifts: Enthusiasm – unbridled passion and excitement for their mission & purpose. Persistence – unwilling to quit, never letting roadblocks get in their way. Adventurous Spirit – energized by the unknown, breaking through the fear. Gift to “Get Over It” – holding no grudges, not looking back, always looking for ways to do it better next time. Faith – a pure belief that anything is possible, it just takes focus on gifts # 1-4.             How are you doing with these 5 gifts you’ve been given?  Are you utilizing them to their fullest potential?  Can those around you sense them in you all day, every day?             If not, then my challenge to you is to go get the book and take time to read it!  You’ll be surprised how much of success in business comes from an inner sense that you’re doing the right things for the right reasons.  When that alignment happens, it’s like magic in a bottle.  Go get yourself some today!
