Finding our passion
People who find fulfillment in business are not usually only in it for money.
Often their passion is not money but solving a problem or meeting a need.
These types of business owners will spend free time thinking about what they care deeply about and making a positive contribution in that area.
Such a strong sense of purpose provides commitment to quality and excellence.
With this attitude our business can be a pleasure, even in tough times.
This passion often leads to broad experience in the chosen field or industry. A thorough understanding of all aspects including relationships, knowledge of customers needs and expectations and all the competitors in the space.
Exploring and finding our passion:
- If we had a free day to spend on our own interest, what would we do with our time?
- Were do we consider we would be able to make the best use of our talents in a meaningful way?
- What three skills do we have that could be used to earn money?
- What areas do we have significant experience and skills in?
- What problems exist in these areas that have not been solved?
Finding our passion and establishing a successful business around it can help us to escape drudge work and enjoy our careers.
1st part made me really think of Elon Musk. That guy is definitely focused on solving some big problems.
I found that there is this problem tho that if from childhood you are focused on money and everyone around you is telling you that IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, it becomes really hard to switch attention on actually helping people.
For me, I know things I should do, but greed inside me often can distracts me. You know what I mean....? :p
Money isn't the purpose. Money is reward for your resources and value to the society.
You just can't get money if you offer zero value and the easiest thing is to work for somebody and be in a rat race.
Of course it's hard to create some real value, but every other person values different things, thus opening a way to new opportunities.
Just remember that money was created to keep us distracted from truly living our lives and finding our true purpose. Imagine if there was no such thing as money......everyone would do what makes them happy. Now set aside the fact that there are elements on this planet that are "happy" hurting other people, wouldn't that be a great place to live?
No money....no work. No work......time to explore your inner self and the world around you. We would all "work" for the betterment of the planet.
Just my 2c
Think about it: so many people are in jobs they hate because they haven’t found that one true passion. They are good at a few things so that’s what they do here and there, but they aren’t sure what that one big thing they want to do forever could be.
Here is my message: stop doing shit you hate. Nail down your strengths so you can discover your passion.
People know their passions, most of them are lazy to execute and follow them though.
It takes hard work, discipline and patience, for a LONG time to be able to escape the 9-5 game and live life on your own terms/time, hence many people not doing it and going to jobs they don't enjoy, living by schedules they don't like.
Having passion for ones business would definitely make the business boom and also the process easy.. To be successful in any business, one have to follow/invest in what he has passion for.
following passion is all that matters. I remember my mum always telling me to always get involved with what i loved doing, not something i was compelled to do.
I totally agree with you. when you find your passion, channel it towards solving a problem and the cash will come. Mark Zuckerberg started facebook, inorder to solve a problem not the other way around. problem solving guarantees money making, and happiness.
I already upvoted this and resteemed. I guess people needs to get this.

Thanks for your great questions and allowing me share my view.🖒🖒🖒
we should folllow our passion not money. If we follow money we are just a small time worker and our life is boring but if we follow our passion everyday is entertaining and productive and we can do work much better and with new ideas.
I understand finding passion is more important than making money. When you follow your passion, your business automatically becomes a success. But I'm afraid some people today fail to realise what is their passion or what they want in life. They do not know their strengths and weakness. They are completely clueless of what they want in life and they are the people who follow the sheep mentality. This should be clearly overcomed!
Your questions are great, but unfortunately, by passion is not really in line with my skills and insights.
Short sweet and helpful text i ll try to folow thos guide lines from now on
Indeed the secret of all successful people is their ability to discover their passion, solve problems and enjoy doing this first as a value added. Thereafter the money will follow.
Great write up on business venturing. Keep up the good work of motivating young entrepreneurs. I'm fully in support of your usually pragmatic ideas.
