What is one habit that has made a crucial-difference in your success?
A willingness to do whatever it takes and not be stopped, or even slowed, by my fears. I can deal with fear faster than most people. Early in my career, I was terrified of making cold calls, but I just went out and did it. When I became a company leader, I quickly conquered a fear of public speaking to the point where I became a keynote at major industry events.
