Often, entrepreneurs start a business out of passion. An interest that develops, through dedication, into a sustainable enterprise that grows beyond being a ‘hobby, with benefits’ into an economic powerhouse.
Passion is the perfect antidote for overcoming the struggles of starting an enterprise. In those most challenging early days of a business startup, being passionate about their business helps entrepreneurs endure the hardships on the way to success.
Head vs. Heart
Being an entrepreneur demands a healthy balance between rational thinking (logic) and “doing it for the love”.
Head
Although passion is a motivator, an entrepreneur can’t be dominated by it. There are just occasions when pausing or regrouping allows for a clearer view of things and better results.
Heart
At times, when the odds are saying: “…you’d be silly to continue this…”, what pushes an entrepreneur through is the fear of regret if they were to quit.
