Keys to Success: Be Passionate
Posted on October 19th, 2007
When the most successful business owners are asked what is the most important reason for their success a vast majority of them say it comes down to passion. It is passion that helps them work through the dip of the slow growth to success. There will be good days, there will be bad days but in the end it will be their passion that will keep them in the game.
The classic example of being passionate about their business is Colonel Sanders and KFC. The story goes that Sanders had the idea that a fried chicken franchise restaurant would work. With nothing more then the idea of KFC he went forth and knocked on 1000’s and 1000’s of investors doors. Many of them laughed him right out of the office. Instead of giving up after the first 1000, Sanders passion drove him to keep going. Eventually he found the right investor and today as I’m sure everyone knows KFC is the leader in fast food fried chicken.
Are you passionate at what you do right now?
If you are not then perhaps you should look into yourself and find something you are passionate about. Then start to think of how you can form a future business around it.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I would say it takes both passion and Perseverance in equal parts to create a sucessful company. In the words of Winston Churchill
“Never, never, never, never give up”
I’m guessing that Churchill never read The Dip by Seth Godin
neither did Colonel Sanders and look where KFC is now!
I’m guessing Seth wasn’t around then.
