Conventions And Doing What You Love

A budding entrepreneur
asked me a couple of days ago
how she’d know if she was doing what she loved.

This is a VERY good question.
I love new business development
but I certainly don’t love all aspects of it.
(the paperwork drives me crazy)

However, as I plan to attend
the Consumer Electronics Show in January,
I get giddy with excitement.
I’d attend this new business development mecca
even if I never planned to make
another dollar from new business development.

Not everyone feels this way.
I’ll talk to people at the CES
who can’t wait for it to be over.
They’re doing a job.
They’re not doing what they love.

If you’re a social person,
the conventions are a great barometer
of whether or not you’re in the industry you love.

Would you attend the conventions
on your own time and with your own money?

If the answer is yes,
you’re in an industry/field you love.
