Hi Eric,

Being passionate about something certainly isn’t all you need to succeed in business, as you found out. Having a realistic budget and funding plan are critical. I commend you for taking the leap of faith even if your venture wasn’t successful (the 1st time). Keep fine tuning, learning as you go, find a mentor, and try again!
To your success,
J,

Great post with lots of good info. for those who are thinking of starting a new business or for those who dream about owning a business. There is a lot to think about before one strikes out on this journey and one must be dedicated to what they want or expect in their job and don’t expect things to happen too quickly everything takes time and dedication & as you mentioned passion!! jj

Janet,

I have recently started my own business. I don’t know if the criteria of being passionate about something all that is required. I have a passion for music. I started a magazine about the music industry. But because I was undercapitalized, it folded after only four issues.

As I look around my desk, I look at all the items I’ve departed my hard earned money for, notebooks, pens, index cards, mouse, magazines, ect.. I can hardly see someone being passionate about indext cards. But there are a of people who own printing companies that make a good proft from this business.

Hi! I like what you wrote. It’s true what they always say: “If you’re passionate about your job (or what you’re doing), it’s as if you never worked all your life!”
