11-20 –13 Being passionate about what you do – Part 2

Often, when I’m thinking about what to write in my Blog, the stories I’m writing about local businesses provide me with my theme.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the importance of being passionate about what you do and how that provides energy and motivation that are great engine drivers for your success as a business owner.

The inspiration for this week’s Blog came from Jess and JP Dowdell, the owners of the Roaming Radish in Freeland.  While I was interviewing them a couple of weeks ago for a story that I was writing for The Business Buzz, the word “passionate” came up several times.  The two of them work more than full time preparing their catered foods and, recently, operating a restaurant three nights a week.  They recognize that their work allows them little time to do anything else, but when asked about this, each immediately responds, “I love my work!”

As I interview people for the business stories that I write, I am continually impressed with the long hours business owners put in…..and how most of the people with whom I talk say, “I love what I do!”
