I remember vividly in the years when I recently started working from home, I've met many people who abandoned their possibly profitable home business because it was not as easy as envisaged and because the passion was not there. They wanted the profit first. Unknowing to them that success comes with a drive. It is not as easy as they thought.
With passion and vision, even if you have no profit, you still continue doing what you love with joy. Some people are very shy and not proud of what they do and so this makes it difficult talking to other people about what they do. All they care about is the money and profit. Others set up online ventures, such as blogs, online store but learned they didn't like writing and marketing their product and services day in and day out.
Its very easy to find people who don't think passion is vital to business success, In fact, many don't consider you should turn your passion or a hobby into your career. The biggest worry is that turning something you love into your job will take away the pleasure in it. However, this is not true as i have been opportune to meet and read about successful home-based entrepreneurs who all have at least one thing in common: They're so passionate about what they do. Bill Gates. Steve Jobs. Oprah. Richard Branson. They're all big successes who were fuelled by passion. Let the truth be told, if its exciting and fun, its not labour, right?
You might be amazed at just how many diverse methods you can earn a living doing something you love. All you need is the courage to fuel it and the creativity to create it.
