In this brief motivational monologue, Kevin Surace observes that the most successful individuals—whether salespeople, marketers, or other high‑performers—share a common habit: they generate and display high energy before they achieve tangible results. This energy is linked to joy in the task, and Surace argues that the heightened energy fuels better outcomes, making energy a catalyst for success rather than a by‑product of achievement.

Top performers all have this in common. Here's something I've noticed about high performers. The best ones bring energy before they bring results. You've seen that salesperson, that marketing person. They've got so much energy for their task at hand, and that energy is bringing them joy. All of that energy eventually leads them to the outcome that they want, the desired outcome, the output, the results, right? So more energy will drive you to better results.
