Throughout years of study, I have found the ultra-prosperous all have common characteristics. I call these common characteristics the 5 P’s of Success because each attribute clearly adds to their success.
Psyche
The first is psyche. That’s the mental aspect of the game. It’s a critical skill for all successful salespeople, but it works equally well in all fields. You will not be able to achieve your goals until you believe you can achieve your goals. When you have the right psyche, you know where you’re going and what you want to accomplish. The right psyche involves knowing what you want and having a plan to get it. When your psyche is in its proper place, you will always follow your heart.
Persistence
The second “P” is persistence. Persistence is the number one reason why people are successful in life. It’s also the driving force that determines why certain people are wealthy. Their success is not due to financial backing or education. They owe their achievements to persistence.
Personal Development
The next “P” is personal development. There is a direct relationship between your personal development and your income. Personal success expert Brian Tracy says, “If you can get yourself to read thirty minutes a day, you’re going to double your income every year. Studies consistently demonstrate that those who are learning and growing every day are more optimistic about life. They are more enthusiastic about where they’re going and what they hope to accomplish. There are two ways to learn in life: You can learn by trial and error, attempting to figure things out on your own, or you can learn from somebody else, who’s already been there and done it before. Somebody has already figured out everything you need to learn about life, and written a book about it or put it into a tape set. So invest in your future by investing in your personal development.
Passion
Do you know the number one thing that will change someone’s mind? It’s the next “P”–passion. More than anything, passion will allow you to recruit the hearts and minds of your prospects. Do you have passion and heartfelt conviction for your product or service? Passion alone can be effective in swaying opinion and getting people to support your product or service. Passion springs from a combination of belief, enthusiasm, and emotion. Find passion for your product and find joy in helping others enjoy it.
Persuasion
The fifth and final “P” is persuasion. Spend a little time each day learning and mastering the world of persuasion and influence. The basic premise is to get what you want when you want it, and in the process to win friends and to help people love doing what you want them to do. By using Maximum Influence you draw people to you, and thus attract more customers–and more sales. We want you to get customers to beg for your product or service and win customers for life.
