E15 The Success Habit of Enthusiasm – How to Cultivate Energy & Drive


Listen Later

You want to stand strong when life throws you curveballs. The spark that sets you apart? Enthusiasm. This episode dives deep into the practical ways enthusiasm fuels a resilient, unstoppable mindset—even when things don’t go as planned.

Why does this matter? In both life and business, the way we approach challenges shapes our outcomes. When you master the habit of enthusiasm, you don’t just keep moving forward—you lift others with you, see solutions where others see obstacles, and bring energy to every step.

It’s not about faking happiness; it’s about choosing resilience and optimism, no matter what comes your way.

What You Need to Know

  • Falling in love with your business or your calling is essential. When you care deeply, you’re less likely to give up when problems pop up.
  • The people you spend the most time with have a major impact on your energy. Surround yourself with those who lift you up, not those who pull you down.
  • Looking for the good in every situation is a skill. The law of opposites says if negativity exists, so does positivity—you just need to turn and find it.
  • Mastery builds confidence and enthusiasm. When you sharpen your skills, you naturally become more excited to take action.
  • Physical health fuels mental stamina and energy. Taking care of your body directly impacts your ability to show up with enthusiasm every day.

What You Need to Do

  • Make a conscious decision to focus on the positive—be a “good finder” in any scenario.
  • Audit your inner circle. Are your closest contacts enthusiastic, optimistic, and supportive?
  • Commit to learning and mastering new skills in your field. Confidence follows competence.
  • Prioritize your health as much as your business. Hydrate, move your body, and pay attention to how your habits affect your energy.
  • Catch yourself when your energy drops and make a deliberate effort to reignite your enthusiasm—even small actions matter.

Your Next Step

Decide today to practice enthusiasm like a muscle. Start by picking one area—whether it’s your business, your health, or your outlook—and infuse it with genuine excitement and positivity.

Share your energy with someone else and notice the difference it makes.
