A Key Principle of Success

The secret, the law of attraction, the golden rule – all of these phrases has been very popular lately. Let me share with you a key that I have found to true success – it is encouragement.Encourage – to inspire with courage, spirit or hope. To hearten, to spur on, giving hope or promise, inspiriting. Hearten means to give heart to, to encourage. Inspirit means to fill with spirit. To inspire is to influence, move or guide. It is to motivate, to move the intellect and emotions.

I want to encourage you today. Encouragement is one of the most powerful things that can happen to us or flow through us. During times of discouragement it can seem like a life preserver when you are going down in the dark water for the third and last time.

When all hope seems to be gone it isn’t. Why would I take the time to write a post like this on a business site? Why, because it is the key to true success.

In my brief time in e-commerce I have seen that those who really care about people and try to help and encourage them are the ones really successful.

Are there people making a ton of money on the internet who are just after the money? Absolutely! But listen to this observer. I have been around long enough to recognize the markers to true success.

When a car crashes, if there is enough speed and force, there is a danger of it catching fire. There are many heading for a crash in internet/web marketing but I know it does not have to happen.

Today, choose to be an encourager. When you do you will find yourself moving in the other standard markers of success – like telling the truth, respecting your family, good financial habits etc.
