Enthusiasm is the Way to Success

Enthusiasm

Some sales people seem to be so good at grabbing your attention and getting your interest in what they’re selling. Some, on the other hand, seem to just make you angry and you have no problem turning them away. Why is this?

There are a lot of factors that go in to a good sales representative but I can almost guarantee that one of them has to do with the enthusiasm of the sales person. When someone is so interested and so excited about what they do, it’s hard not to pass that interest on to others. Enthusiasm in your work makes work easier as well. If you love what you are doing and you are genuinely interested in it, your days will go much quicker.

Since this site deals a lot with starting a business and entrepreneurship, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about this very vital point that goes in to a business. Enthusiasm can make all the difference in the start up of a new company. The fact that you love what you are doing comes across when you talk to your customers. Get excited about what you do and you will have no problem getting your customers excited as well.

The main thing to do when starting a company, a blog, a hobby or pretty much anything is to really get to know it. Do a lot of research on your subject and become an expert. If you’re talking about a company, look forward a little bit and see what you stand to make. Nothing can really garner up enthusiasm like the idea of how much money can be made in the future. I sure know that, looking in to the future of my companies, seeing the financial potential motivates the hell out of me. Become and expert, get to know your product and learn to enjoy all the aspects of that product.

Even if you don’t have a product or a company in mind, you can probably think of a subject and dig a little deeper in to it. You may find something that really interests you. For example, you may have absolutely no interest or knowledge in something like powder coating. If you really start to dig deep in to the subject, you start to learn the different types of customers you will be working with, the type of equipment that you work with, the process that goes in to it, the various types of powder, the weather conditions that are the most supportive of the technique and probably even the money that can be made in the industry. When you start really digging deeper in to a subject and become an expert, you will gain that enthusiasm that’s required to really get something rolling. That’s how companies get started that, seemingly, make boring products. Dig deeper and there’s a whole world within that industry that makes it exciting that most people never see.

You should hear Joe and I sitting around talking about our blogs or the company that we work for. We sit around for hours and throw ideas off each other. We get so excited about what we do and, hopefully, it shows through in the work that we do. Dig deeper, become an expert and gain the enthusiasm of every endeavor you partake in. I guarantee it will make you a more successful person.

    You couldn’t be more right. In just about anything you do, passion and enthusiasm for what you’re doing play a big part in whether it’s a success or not. It’s a secret that far too many people overlook when they wonder why they can’t succeed in a particular area - but it’s just a lack of enthusiasm!

  • I agree and disagree with some of your points here. Enthusiasm and passion are essential and those will eventually lead to money. If the enthusiasm is for the money and not for what you are doing, it shows in most cases. Find something that you love to do and would do even if there was no money involved and then figure out how to make money at it. Then you have the necessary ingredients for the long run no matter what happens…

    I completely understand what you’re saying Financial Hack, I agree that it’s good to find something that you can really get enthusiastic about and then figure out how to make money at it. For me, finance is something that I’m enthusiastic about. I love working with money and accounting and investing. Seeing dollar values on various ideas really gets me going and gets me excited. You make an excellent point.

    Brip Brap, You are completely right that it is an overlooked secret. I’ve met business owners that are almost embarrassed to talk about their business… If this is the case, you are definitely in the wrong field.

    Thanks so much for the comments!
