So what is the real recipe for success? Is there really a recipe to follow? Too often we hear “if you follow this you can’t fail” so when you try and not succeed you think you are a failure. Well, there isn’t a recipe that is “suits all types of business owners”. In fact there is no real recipe at all I think. But, I do think there are various aspects and ingredients you can add to your business to make it as success.
At the end of the day you are the one responsible for your success. Here are seven ingredientsI think are important when building a business:
Successful Business Recipe:
You will need heaps of Passion – you may have to dig deep inside to see what “turns your on”
A Business without Love is not a passionate business – give to others and send love and it will come back to you.
You will also need a good deal Creativity of to market your business and make it unique.
Without several pounds of “Just Do it” you may not take any action at all when it all feels too much
Strategy is always good so add a few pounds of that
A little bit of cleverness is also needed – your’s a smartie right?!
And last but not least: Tons of Courage – you will need it to put yourself on the line, but if you are truly marketing with passion you will have no problem doing so!

LOVE the visual of this “recipe card” – and your focus on the need for love is SO key as many businesses tend to forget that, at the end of the day, love is what it’s all about!
Thank you Sabrina! Yes if you don’t feel the love for your business then there is something missing. Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I love it and would just add that for the recipe to work we have to “eat our own dog food,” so to speak. Self love goes a long way towards keeping our juices flowing and of course, enabling us to step up and stand out when we need to (which is of course, always). Great pin-able!
Thank you Nathalie- definitely agree on the self love. If we can just spread a little love around us everyday it will still make a difference and we need to start by loving ourselves.
Absolutely love this! Love the visual and the words speak right to my heart… that is success in a recipe! xo
Thank you Chantelle! So glad to hear you liked it!
I love this recipe and it is so true! You need all ingredients for it to work, some could have some luck but who wants to have business on luck? We want success to continue! Thanks for sharing!
Yes Nancy, waiting for luck you may be waiting a Long time… Thanks for stopping by!
Linda! This is so great! I’m going to pin it also. The visual is great – we all need to be reminded about those things. Especially the “just do it” since we can all get caught up in excuses and fear. Sometimes you just have to take a leap. Great stuff!
Glad you like it Amber! Yes taking a leap is necessary for growth and while it may seem scary it will be worth it!
I love your image! What a great idea! I like your amounts :). And, yes, a few pounds of “just do it” is necessary!
Thank you Leanne, a bit of just do it definitely is necessary! 🙂 thanks for stopping by!
Can I add “naps” to the list? I’m somewhat serious! 🙂 I find most of my inspiration and problem solving arrive through an impromptu nap. Love this recipe! It’s inspiring
Lol, Loralee naps sure are an important ingredient as well 🙂
This is the best recipe for success I’ve ever read! I have followed other people’s strategies before and found that they don’t fully work for me. What I realised is that I wasn’t enthused by them and they didn’t light me up. While I still value the teachings of others who’ve had the success that I so want I also realise that it’s important to make sure that I’m in alignment with myself. From now on the first recipe I’ll be following is this one and using others to enhance it. Thank you!
Thank you Tabi! Makes me happy to hear and you are so right it is necessary to be in alignment with ourselves. Bring out the Passion and go for it! All the best to you!
Love your recipe card! Definitely lots of ‘Just Do It’ is necessary!
Yes without the just do it we can be stuck forever if we don’t just let go and let our passion and love for what we do move us forward. Thanks for stopping by Emma!
I LOVE this! So often friends, family + clients ask how to go about starting a business. It seems like such a loaded questions but this breaks it down into practical, actionable steps! Love it!
Thank you Chelsea! Yes practical and actionable is definitely a part of it. And when it comes from the inside it will be so much easier to get to it and make it happen!
I love this – I’m going to pin it on my wall where I see it every day!
🙂 Thanks Sarah – so glad to hear you like it!
Great recipe! And a very nice way to present it.
I especially like the “Just do it” ingredient, sometimes I need a little more of that.
Thanks for stopping by Margareth! So glad the recipe resonates with you 🙂 We all need a little bit more of Just do it every now and then.
