The Shearin Group Leadership Training Tips
I'll begin where the majority of successful entrepreneurs begin--"follow your passion." It may be a shopworn phrase, but this advice is as valid today for how to succeed in business as it was a hundred years ago, and it has certainly proven true for me. I have been successfully following my passion for seven decades.
The word passion has a direct application to business. It means a strong feeling of enthusiasm or excitement for something or about doing something. A new entrepreneur will need this emotional charge to sustain his or her motivation when facing the unexpected challenges that all startups encounter. The power of personal attachment will energize you and keep the momentum going. According to one estimate, 8 out of 10 businesses fail in the first 18 months, so passion's role will likely be crucial for survival.
