Success

"Successful and unsuccessful people do not vary greatly in their abilities. They vary in their desires to reach their potential." --John Maxwell

What John Maxwell said is so true! Say you want to bake pies, have always baked pies, and bake the best pies this side of the Mississippi. Will that make you successful if you open a pie business? Not necessarily.

Why not? Because there's more to the pie business than baking. There's marketing, customer service, quality control, cost analysis... The list goes on and on. If you don't have a strong desire to succeed in supplying pies to the world, you may not succeed in the pie business.

On the other hand, take a man who's never set foot in a kitchen, much less baked a great pie. But, say that man has a burning desire to bring his mother's pies to the world's doorstep. He can buy ovens and hire bakers. His vision for the future of pie baking is likely to put his pies in stores across the country while the person who simply loves to bake is still sitting in the kitchen dreaming as they wait for the pie to brown.
