From Homeless to Multimillionaire

Passion is Everything

[pageoneresults]

Gardner is a magnificent speaker and has an engaging personality -- qualities all business professionals would crave. But what's behind his success? What is the one thing -- the one secret -- that helped him change his life?

"It's passion," he told me. "Passion is everything. In fact, you've got to be borderline fanatical about what you do."

Whew, and I thought I was one of the few who thought this way. ;)

I agree- you need to love what you do, or change and do what you love. Even if it doesn't bring you millions of dollars, there's a lot to be said for "personal enrichment."

I loved the movie- watched it on DVD with the extras that included clips with the real Chris Gardner.

Gardner wanted to be "world-class at something." For him, that something was being a stockbroker. For you, finding something you are passionate about will make the difference in how engaging you become as a communicator and as a leader. If you love what you do, you'll eagerly share the story behind it with boundless enthusiasm.

That is true.
