Professional Performance All successful people are top performers because they know how to use energy. The energy of success comes from your desires, your burning desire. Successful people know how to turn burning desire into gold! Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, studied 500 of the richest people in the world and found 15 characteristics of success. I personally feel the most important discovery he made in addition to the 15 principles was that none were born with these elements of success. Everyone developed these characteristics; everyone had to learn these elements of success. We can have them too if we decide to learn them and to develop them. The key principle Napoleon Hill discovered was that all successful people had burning desire . If you want to be successful, you must have a burning desire, a passion, and inner drive that makes winners out of ordinary people. In The 8 th Habit , Stephan Covey said In order to expand your success; you have to have knowledge, skills and passion. Passion is the energy that fuels the knowledge and skills. We’ve found the key that opens the door to passion – and that key is the language. You can feel the passion but you can’t describe it or share it without a language. Language can come in many forms – words or symbols or experiences. The words and symbols of Core Passion® are the language. When you put words to your burning desire, you create clarity and focus in your marketing, your branding, image and unique message. Burning desire is fueled by the energy of your Core Passion®, what drives you to do what you do. You too can move into top performance and achieve greater success by developing a game plan to use the energy of burning desire and manage the top five driving energy forces of your inner team – your Core Passion®!
