VIDEO – 7 Keys To A Successful Leap of Faith

One of the keys to success in business is sometimes taking a leap of faith. In this video, I share 7 Keys To A Successful Leap Of Faith.

Today I want to talk to you about taking a leap of faith. To be successful in business, in many cases, you have to take a leap of faith. I recently shared with a group of entrepreneurs in Philadelphia 7 keys to having a successful leap of faith and I want to share those with you today.

I have personal experience in taking a leap of faith. When I was laid off from my 17 year career, I had to make some tough decisions and I ended up jumping into a new network marketing business and thankfully it ended up working out for me and I had massive success, but it wasn’t easy.

So, I want to share these 7 keys with you today that will help you have a successful leap of faith.

1. Listen to your heart… Les Brown says, “If you ever have an argument between your mind and your heart, follow your heart because that is where your treasure will be.” Many times our mind is telling us we can’t do something, but our heart is telling us we can. Our heart is pushing us to go for it, to follow our dreams. So, I want to encourage you,  listen to your heart!
2. Believe in YOU. Believe you can do it. This is crucial to your success.  When you’re taking a leap of faith, you can’t do it and be half-committed.  You can’t have significant success if you have doubt and if you are questioning whether you can succeed or not. Do what you’ve got to do to raise your belief level in yourself because that’s what matters most.
3. Punch Fear in the Face. Don’t you love that? This is a great book by Jon Acuff and I think the title says it all. If you are going to have a successful leap of faith, you’ve got to overcome your fears, you have to punch fear in the face! I recommend you replace your fear with your desire for freedom. Your desire for freedom has to win. It has to be stronger than your fear. Another great book on this subject is Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway® by Dr. Susan Jeffers. Again, the title says it all. You can do it in spite of your fears and you’ll notice that as your take action, even when you have fear, when you take action, your fears begin to diminish. So you have to step out in faith, you have to take that action and you can overcome those fears.
4. Surround yourself with leaders and accountability partners that also believe in you and will push you to higher levels of success. When we take the road less-traveled, it can be challenging and lonely. It’s important to be surrounded by people who are pulling the rope in the same direction as you and people that will keep you on the road to success… They’ll inspire you. They’ll challenge you. They’ll hold you accountable to higher levels.
5. Don’t compare yourself to others… Everyone is on their own journey. You can’t beat yourself up all the time! You can’t look at the success that others are having and allow that to discourage you. You can’t look at the failure that others are having and allow that to effect your decisions. You have to have a laser-beam focus on your goals and your dreams. Let the success of others inspire you. Let the failure of others inspire you.
6. Celebrate your accomplishments and your teams accomplishments… Big and small! You would be amazed what recognition can do. I’m always amazed. I think there are many people that will work harder for recognition than they will for money. You’ve got to take the time to recognize your progress and reward yourself and your team for a job well done. Take time out to smell the roses and enjoy your successes with your family, your friends, and your team members.  If you don’t do this, you are missing out on one of the rewards of residual income!
7. Be committed to getting better… Daily. I love this quote by Kobe Bryant. He says, “We can all master our craft, but we first have to understand the sacrifice that comes along with that decision.” Remember, having a successful leap of faith starts with a decision that you make.  I want to encourage you to make the decision to win. Make the decision to succeed.
