Working hard to achieve success in life is every person’s dream. For you to achieve success, you require thinking and taking action. You also need to set and develop goals that will enable the complete success process. What is the difference between successful people and unsuccessful ones? Well, successful people have principles that enable them to overcome their limitations and achieve their goals. On the other hand, unsuccessful people allow their limitations to overcome them, thus failing.
Shawn Henry is a great entrepreneur who never gives up regardless of the challenges in life. He is the founder and CEO of Efficient Home Services. Henry was born in Canada and raised by a single mother. Throughout his teen life, Henry engaged in destructive behaviors. The experience of seeing the divorce between his parents made him go through a lot of challenges. Back in school, he was not a good boy, either. His indisciplined actions led to expulsions and countless suspensions. Below are the three success principles that drove Henry to unimaginable solar success.
1.Having A Purpose
If you want to become successful, it is essential that you know your purpose. You need to make an effort or have confidence in what you do and need to have a purpose and direction. Having the right life purpose helps you to know what is essential and what is not important. Also, life purpose enables you to have incredible energy and passion that keeps you moving.
Shawn is an excellent example of people who have a purpose. After a semester of college, he got a job that lasted only three weeks. Later, he found another job to care for dogs. Also, this time the job only lasted for one week and a half. However, when all hope was gone, he finally met someone who offered him a job to do sales. He was very hardworking in sales and became the top seller in the solar company. Besides, they were going around 30 locations, which gave him great experience in sales. Nevertheless, Henry gained knowledge on how to start a company, license it, and increase leads. The ability to pursue his life purpose became a tunnel towards his success.
2.Dedication/ Willingness To Never Give Up On A Daily Basis
Real success is the ability to overcome obstacles and fears in life. A ‘never give up’ attitude helps you eliminate fear and deal with failures and mistakes accordingly. For you to achieve success, you must develop a ‘never give up’ attitude. This attitude enables you to retract doubts that you once had so that you can take new risks as they come. Besides, when you have the drive to never give up, doors of creativity will open automatically. Moreover, this attitude will help you reach where others are unable to since you can work on high levels.
Shawn learned to never give up after working in various companies without making it and achieving what he really wanted. After the offer to work in a solar company, he got a chance to learn many things about solar energy; perhaps one day start his own company. And guess what, today Shawn owns one of the largest solar energy companies in Florida. This #1 solar CO on the Inc 5000 has generated not less than $48 million in revenue in the last 24 months. It offers efficient home services at a lower cost to increase your property value. The company has also been featured on several networks like Forbes, Influencive, Entrepreneur, and many more.
3.Being Intentional
The last principle that has helped Shawn to achieve success is being intentional. Shawn’s work is always intentional. He got into solar sales way back in 2012. His past mistakes helped him to shape his future so as not to repeat the same mistakes again. Today, he is a focused man who impacts the lives of many people in his country by offering solutions to their problems.
Using the door to door strategy, Shawn and his childhood friends shared the importance of solar energy to homesteads. His main goal was to reach as many people as possible with their efficient home services. He has helped people to save money and reduce their electricity bills. From morning till evening, they went knocking on people’s doors introducing the idea of going to solar.
The above principles have helped Shawn transform his company from $400k in income per month to more than $1.5 million. Therefore, never stop learning. You can only achieve success when you work on it.
