More Heart Than Talent – Do You Have What It Takes?
As a longtime student of network marketing, I have mentored with several multi-millionaires, from internet marketing experts to master prospectors like Jeffery Combs.
Every year Jeffery Combs holds a well-known conference in Dallas, TX called “More Heart Than Talent”, where many of the biggest names in the home business industry gather to speak. Individuals by the likes of Jim Rohn, Jerry “Rhino” Clark, and other big time leaders all present various topics in a power-packed two day personal growth and business conference.
It is an excellent event for anyone serious about succeeding in any type of direct sales or network marketing endeavor and I highly recommend it but that is not what I want to talk about today.
I want to dive deep into the meaning of the event, and what it really means to have, “More Heart Than Talent”.
What are your first thoughts when you hear this title? What kinds of emotions are triggered? Do you know someone that has more heart than talent?
What is fascinating to me is that the meaning of this phrase to me now is completely different than the meaning it took on when I was first getting started as an entrepreneur.
I understood what my mentor Jeffery Combs was saying on the surface, when he said that—you can show him the most talented person in the world and he will show you how to overcome that person’s talents with heart.
In other words, “Heart Beats Talent Every Time”, he would say.
What separates people that achieve greatness from those that live a quiet life in mediocrity is heart. You can call it what you want—it’s determination, commitment, persistence. It’s the unwavering desire a person has to achieve even their biggest goals and dreams in life and it is not something that can be taught.
Having led several different direct sales and network marketing organizations I can tell you without hesitation I would rather have one person in my organization with heart, than 50 people with talent alone.
How do you approach your business? Do you have heart? Are you determined to succeed? Or do you say things like, “I’ll give it a shot”, or “I hope this works”.
People with heart are empowered, and they empower others. They project confidence in reaching their goals, and do not “give up” if success takes longer than anticipated.
No matter what business you are in, give it all you have, never give up, and you’ll be amazed at the results you’ll achieve.
Approach your business with a More Heart Than Talent mindset and the sky is the limit…
