The most interesting thing about the following steps is that they are easy. You can achieve success as an inspirational leader by following this formula. Here are the steps.
- Find your passion—that is the thing that you most love and want to have happen in the world
- Connect with your passion on a deep and personal level. Become an expert. Make it an integral part of the fabric of your life and the essence of your being.
- Launch your passion into the world in a big, big way. Imagine the greatest possible contribution that you can make; double that, then double it again, then figure out how you can live it into being every day of your life.
It’s a fact of life, we expand our passions from areas of interest to hobbies to life purposes. Along the way, those areas of interest will probably change. What will remain constant is the skill that you have acquired in learning to engage an idea and hold it in a deeply important place. While the steps above may seem formulaic and perhaps daunting, it is an absolute requirement. If you cannot be inspired, how can you ever hope to inspire others? If you cannot find your own way, why would anyone ever choose to follow you?
