EQ

Success isn’t solely defined by intellect or technical skills. Emotional Intelligence – the ability to understand and manage one’s own emotions, as well as recognize and influence those of others – plays an equally, if not more significant role in attaining personal and professional fulfillment. 

Is it your education, your experience, your knowledge, your intellect? No, none of these are a true predictor of your ability to succeed. Why do you see highly intelligent, highly educated – let’s say brilliant – people struggle in his or her business, personal, or financial life? It happens more than you realize – the person that should be the most successful instead only plods along through life. The answer most always has to do with emotional intelligence.

Emotional intelligence is the secret. It may be hard to identify or quantify, but it is real, and it is powerful. EQ could be described as common sense, presence of mind, and ambition on steroids.
