Is it work or play?
“You’ve achieved success in your field when you don’t know whether what you’re doing is work or play.” - Warren Beatty
“You’ve heard the expression, ‘Do what you love and the money will follow.’ For many this means they’ll have to jump from one career to another or that they’ll have to fire their boss and start their own business.
“Of those who decide to venture out on their own, few get clear about their purpose or their passion. Most pursue this endeavor backwards. They have a need — more money — so they follow the money.”
Pehrson quotes Terri Zwierzynski of www.Solo-E.com: “If you’ve chosen your business because you read that this niche was the next hot one, or because your favorite uncle (or your best friend) thinks you’d be well-suited for this business, you may as well pack up now and save yourself some time and money.
“If you don’t love what you do, it will show…potential customers will know it and will go elsewhere. Is it possible to be successful anyway? Sure — but it won’t be easy and it won’t be fun… and isn’t that why you want to be self-employed anyway? Instead, choose what you love.”
