ABSTRACT
No one can give you an iron-clad, money-back guarantee that once you land your first job, you’re going to make it big in this business. But laid out in this chapter are the elements that will give you your best shot at it. Most of what’s listed below will be covered more extensively throughout the rest of the book, but here are the key ingredients in a nutshell:
#1: Passion! Passion! And More Passion! Passion excites, it attracts and it sells. It’s contagious, inspirational and motivational. It’s the single most important ingredient to propelling your career. It’s the enthusiasm that makes the difference between a terrific interview and a mediocre one. It’s the catalyst that often makes the difference between selling a project or not. It’s the irresistible characteristic that differentiates you from your competitors. It’s the magnet that pulls others toward you. It’s the motivation needed to keep you in the game. And it’s the driving force that keeps you going when the going gets tough. No matter what
book you pick up on this topic, what seminar or course you take, what speaker you’re listening to-everyone agrees: nothing launches nor propels a career (in any business) as powerfully as does passion.
