The Power of Passion
We have an annual "Entrepreneur of the Year" competition down here, with monthly winners. And every month the winner is featured on TV. There's a profile on the person's business, and that's followed by a panel discussion (with phone in).
Every single entrepreneur says that one must have a passion for what you're doing in order to succeed in your business.
This is something that's intrigued me for most of my adult life. "Follow your passion, and success will come."
What I'm busy on at this very moment (well, maybe not this "moment" ;o)
Writing free report, re-writing Home page, working on 8 articles, building next site, reviewing changes for the eaziGOAL re-write, working on new book... and there are e-mails to be answered, and I check the Forums twice a day.
There is ONLY one thing that enables me to do this: Passion
And how do I do this, you ask... :o)
I have pack of 20 small A6 sheets of paper, held together with an elastic band. These sheets lie next to my keyboard, and every night I work on the project that is at the top of the pad. When I turn off the PC at night, I move the top sheet to the back of the pack. When a task is completed, I remove the sheet from the pack, and add a new sheet with the next project. It works well for me (I'm totally anti-routine).
If you have youth (or younger years) on your side, I'd say before you do anything further in life, find your passion. And even if you're a little way down life's road, and haven't found your passion, find it now. Look for that thing that you can practically do 24/7, that you can talk the hind ears off a donkey about. The thing that makes you down in the dumps when you can't do it for a few days.
An idea that I've helped friends with is to take a small notepad with you when you go a bookstore, and as you pass by the magazines, makes notes of what catches your attention. Sometimes it's it's a headline on the cover, and not necessarily the magazine. Most people find a pattern in this exercise. And this exercise can also help in finding your site niche.
There is only one result from this: Success
As Bob Dylan said: "A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do."
