We live in really cool times. As I write this, I am not rich by any stretch of the imagination and we are about to enter a global recession - some are even predicting a depression. Many people are uncertain about the future and reacting to the situation.
I am not.

Why?

Because I know that true business never fails.

What’s the deal with passion and business?

I often hear people say, “To be in business requires passion”, “Entrepreneurs need passion to be successful”, or “You won't make it in business without passion.” The list goes on and on.

My intention in this article is to discover if passion is truly required for business (or life for that matter).

I wish I knew that someone distinguished business for me when I was younger. It would have made my life much simpler. But, like with all things in life, the most valuable information arrives at exactly the right time we need it to. It is my intention that this story arrives for you at exactly the right time.

What does it mean to be an entrepreneur?
We often hear that being an entrepreneur requires taking great risks. I would like to explore a different point of view.
