You Need to Have Passion!
GARY: All you have to do is have passion and a deep, burning desire inside.
When I was sitting in the wheelchair, after trying to commit suicide the third time, and I finally decided that I wanted to live, I had to find a deep, burning desire inside to live. Sometimes things happen that cause us to have to look inside to find that deep, burning desire. That deep, burning desire starts as just one tiny flame; and after 26 months in the wheelchair, my toe moved against the blanket, kindling a deep, burning fire.

That’s what Young Living is all about.
Know your business. Take time to study it. If you’re going to invest in a Napa Auto Parts franchise, would you just walk into their office and say, “I want to buy a franchise” and write out a check? Nobody would do that. You would sit down with the chief accountant and study their books. Then you’d sit down with a branch manager and study the entire operation. You’d spend at least a year studying that franchise before you ever invested.
