When Passion Ignites… Logic Fades Fast!

Is it just me?
Or do you sometimes find yourself babbling?

I mean… when you’re asked to explain What You Do in business.
Then your best networking or marketing script just evaporates as your mouth opens.

Well, it happened to me this week.

It happened, even though I’ve spent more tens of hours than most…
carefully crafting “This is what we do best, here at Soul Millionaire”

And I bet it’s happened to you.

When you passionately declare how lives have changed direction… because of your influence.

How lightbulbs have switched on for a client… simply because you listened with fascination, and without assuming that you knew best.

How couples look at each other with amazement…
Because you posed a question that nobody had ever thought to ask them. And they’ve heard each other’s thoughts and feelings… for the first time.

How women and men, going through a divorce, see that there’s a calmer, more healing, way to approach the financial spaghetti… because you’ve helped them to think with such clarity.

I think you’ve experienced all of those.

And here’s the curious thing…
What you’ve just babbled about is not simply technical skill.

It’s your leadership at work.

Because leadership isn’t about titles, hierarchies, or job descriptions.
It’s about what happens when your presence unlocks something in others.

When your listening multiplies their thinking.
When your questions release hidden wisdom.
When your calm brings clarity to confusion.

That’s leadership in its truest sense.

Not the loud voice at the front.
But the quiet courage to help others discover what they carry within.

And that, of course, is the Soul Millionaire way of seeing leadership.

When whole teams approach Monday mornings with a sense of anticipation… because you helped reshape an MD’s thinking and behaviour.

When a leader listens intensely to what the support/ops team thinks about strategy… rather than assuming that she’s the only person with a creative brain.

When there’s a sustainable business, which doesn’t have to be flogged to the highest bidder when the directors ride off into the sunset.

When a senior partner of a financial planning firm intentionally develops the next generation of leadership, rather than leave it to happenstance.

Just trying to explain that… generates passion.
That’s where the babbling erupts.

And, guess what I’ve discovered?
The listener gets caught up in the sheer passion of what I’m saying.

And the slick power-phrases you’ve practiced…
Simply drop away. Discarded. Unnecessary.

So maybe babbling is not a weakness at all.
Maybe it’s the sound of leadership breaking through.

Which leaves me with one question for you:

When someone asks, “What Do You Do?”
Will you dare to answer with that kind of passion?
