4-9-15 Are you passionate about your business?

If you have been reading my business stories on Whidbey Local (Where's Wally?) you may have noticed a common theme.  Most of the business stories I tell are about owners who really love what they do and/or the products that they sell.

When I was thinking about my Blog for this week, I thought about Sweet Mona’s, Fern Ridge Alpacas, Ott & Murphy, Salon Bella, Paradise Found Alpaca Farm Wild Birds Unlimited, and several other businesses about which I have written in the last several months.  And the word, “passionate” came to me.  These people really care about what they are doing, even if they could be making more money doing something else.  They are doing something that gives them a great sense of pleasure and accomplishment.  They believe that what they are doing generates something positive in the lives of others.

If you are doing something that you really aren’t enjoying, maybe it’s time to ask yourself, “What ways of earning money are possible for me that will give me a sense of passion?”
