Entrepreneurs: Real Passion
by Miki Saxon
T. Alan Armstrong said, “If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen FOR you, TO you and BECAUSE of you.”
A good description of why an entrepreneur becomes an entrepreneur and why people join startups.
But it’s your passion that matters, not what the media or your friends/colleagues say your passion ought to be.
Your passion may lean to a more corporate setting, to a more socially responsible effort or to something else.
Living another person’s passion is far worse than living with no passion—because it is a sham and a sham can not sustain your effort, nor will it drive your success.
What faux passion will do is feast on your energy, suck you dry and leave behind a hollow ghost.
So whatever your passion, just be sure it really is yours.
