Is there a secret weapon to success?

The short answer is no. There isn’t a secret weapon to success; there are, however, secret weapons. And many successful business leaders and entrepreneurs can attest to this. The lack of a single path to success has led many effective leaders to carve their own journey to reach their dreams.

When one doesn’t enjoy what they’re doing, it’s easy to fail and quit. To achieve success, it’s beneficial to find what one is passionate about and begin from there. Yes, not every passion project will be successful, but it’s enough driving force to propel one to work hard and smart. According to business consultant Emile Haddad, those who love what they’re doing can create solutions that stand out. Successful entrepreneurs say the same thing: Choose a problem you’d want to solve and develop the best solution.

Entrepreneurs must not stop there, though. Once they’ve found the best solution and are ready to sell it to the market, the product or service must be something they are proud of. Creating solutions with integrity can be a challenge nowadays. However, it is a quality every leader must strive to have, in addition to curiosity and resilience, characteristics that can help one to keep on creating unique and effective solutions to problems encountered by people every day.

Emile Haddad believes that—in this day and age—it’s difficult for leaders to be present. Nothing beats true face time. Being a hands-on leader creates a safe environment for the business and the employees to grow and mature.
