I absolutely loved this video! All of the points that were stated really made sense. I felt as if I could use every single pointer to be successful. The video kept held my attention from beginning all the way until the end. There were so many things that I like but the one that stuck out the most to me was being passionate about something. I believe this is so true for anyone to be successful. Yes you may have a passion to make money but with no passion for the actual task that is required making a ton of money becomes that much harder.

I believe this video is important for anyone but especially for someone who desires to be an d entrepreneur or own a successful business. This video talks about the importance of self motivation, and determination. I believe from watching this video alone will let a person know if they have what it takes to start from nothing, yes it is important for a person who desires to work there way up but working up is not as difficult in my mind as starting from nothing because you have no one to answer to nothing driving you you must do everything you can without being told to do it which takes self discipline.

Our generation is obsessed with the idea of being successful. From a young age, children are taught that the only way to be happy is to be successful in the work force and make money. Many young adults go into college with the thought that they will get a degree in something that will make them successful in life. Their happiness in their job comes second to the paycheck that they can take home doing that job. These people will never be successful, because they usually aren't passionate about what they do. Passion and persistence are two of the greatest factors of success. You will never be successful in anything unless you are truly passionate about what you do. Passion about what you do on a daily basis will lead to the persistence necessary to be successful. There will always be obstacles to overcome on the road to success. There will be doubts and challenges that make you rethink everything that you are doing. Persistence will see you through these challenges and help you to be truly successful.

The video was really good. It clarified the key aspects that a person can do to become successful. These are good pointers that everyone can use no matter the what level of success they are trying to achieve. The key points that stood out more to me was serve, push, and persist. I have a very hard time serving people; so sometimes I don't put forth my best effort when I do things for others. Persistence is something that everyone can benefit from tremendously because nothing is really accomplished the first try. I will use the information from this video to really improve my work at my job.

This video reminded me of the "basics" of realizing goals and performing in all aspects of life. There were no new concepts or ideas about anything he said, it was just the simplicity of it all that made the video unique considering the number of successful business leaders that gave their paths to success.

Motivation, drive, determination, and skill all have different triggers. All successful people have something that they say to themselves to stay balanced and driven. For my internship "No is the halfway mark to success".

I believe the two most important ideas mentioned are passion and work; these are the two most important ideas that I would bring with me to my career. Passion comes first. If you don’t love what you are doing you will be miserable, and your work will show it. You will fall so deep into a slump that you won’t care how your work comes out as long as it gets done. Managers will not go for this and you will eventually be demoted or fired. Pick something that you love; something that when you get up in the morning you are happy to drive to work in freezing cold temperatures on icy roads. Pick something that makes you come to work even if you may spread that flu epidemic that’s going around (just kidding, don’t infect everyone at the office with your viral plague). Work is the other biggie. You must have determination and put forth effort to be successful. You must be willing to do those tasks that no one else wants to do, go to those extra classes to get certification, stay up that extra four hours to complete that report, if you want to succeed. Hard work is something that almost always pays off and almost always gets noticed.

I enjoy this video. I like to see an easy to understand demonstration for such a huge concept such as "success". Everyone strives for success and the reality of it is, everyone is going to have their own way of getting there. I am a strong believer in "if you love what you do, you wont work a day in the world." I think it is most important to have passion in your career. When talking to anyone, the best way to get someone to open up is to ask what they are passionate about. From there, they can go on for days. I think that persistence is also very important. When working in business, you will have many different circumstances but if you stay persistent with it, you will succeed.

Sucess has many different elements. This video does a great job narrowing down how to become sucessful. The main one i think that is most important is passion, if you truly love what you are doing then the sucess will come along with it because you will want to work. With passion everything else will become easy by working hard and staying focused. Many people work to just make the money but it is important to be happy with what you are doing or it will become miserable and you will eventually burn out.

My favorite key to success that was mentioned was persistence! Never giving up not matter how hard or hopeless things may seem. I also liked passion. Obviously if your passionate about what you do then you're getting paid to get up everyday and do what you love. The drive to work isn't so long and the time away from home doesn't seem so bad. Being successful is a matter of perspective for most people. Though some may think its measured in a paycheck, some will argue that success can be measured by personal happiness and if you are persistent in getting what you want and you're passionate about what you do then you will be a happier person. The money is just a bonus.

I don't know anyone who doesn't want to be successful. There are successful people all over the world. The passion, work, being good, focus, push, serve, ideas,persist, are all valid points in becoming successful . I definitely have passion with my work. I don't look at my job as a job because I love it so much. Being focused in you daily activities and pushing yourself through hard times is the only way to succeed. I did not learn what I did on my own I was pushed by my mother with her ideas and expertise and she pushed me to do better because she knew I could do it. i think if more people took this guys advice they would also be successful.

What i have took from this video is take a job because you love it not because it pays a lot. Using these 8 things you can become very successful and make money while at the same time loving what you do for a living. In past experiences i would say the most important thing that i used was pushing myself. You push yourself everyday and when you accomplish something you feel that much better about yourself. When it is time to make my decision on my career i would definitely come back to this video and remember these 8 things.

There are a lot of factors that lead a business to success but I think that passion is the most important. If you are not passionate about what you do then the the other things don't follow. You won't want to PUSH yourself to work harder if you have no passion for what you're doing. I agree with all of the factors that the speaker talked about but I definitely believe that passion i the root of all the rest.

I believe success varies from person to pserson. One person's idea of success will be different than the next. For example, One man's idea of succes could be working 75 hour weeks to live in a big house and drive luxurious. The other man however, would measure his success by working a 40 hour week and able to spend time going to his son's baseball games. Aren't we all attracted to the ideal pursuit of happiness? With that being said, The most important thing I took from the video is Passion and Persistance. I think that to achieve success (whatevr that may be) you have to use all those tools. Although they may differ in certain areas depending on the person and what their idea of success means to him.

A person who becomes successful usually has to go out and get it. Many sit around and wait for opportunities to come to them but do not understand that you have to work hard for it. Success comes from having a direction a focus of where you plan on going. With focus you need to be motivated to push hard and want to give it your all. Also in order to be truly successful you have to enjoy what you do and have a passion for your job. Being passionate about your work will motivate you to always do your best.
