The idea of pursuing your passion over a dull corporate job has pervaded career conversations for many years now. You read or hear about successful stories online about people who transformed their interests or hobbies into a profitable venture and you can’t help but think: what if that could be you one day?
Having no boss to tell you what
to do and charting your own path to success – it all seems ideal.
First of all, in starting any serious business endeavor,
passion is indispensable. It’s the main fuel that will drive you toward your
goal, whether it’s founding a tech start-up or an online market.
Without passion, there’s no interest or joy in doing the necessary tasks that need to be done. And if you can’t even get started on putting in the work, day in and day out, then your business idea is out the window.
