Passion Is Important

Yes, business builders
need more than passion
to become successful
but passion IS important.

Passion gets us through
long, brutally tough days.
Passion gets us through
disappointments.
Passion helps us sell product,
convinces folks to partner with us,
people to work for us.

Mark Newman,
founder of HireVue,
shares

“Passion is even more important
than usual.
You have to have the drive
to push yourself
—and others around you—
day in and day out.
And that extra dose of passion
comes in handy
when people doubt your credibility
or acumen on account of your age.
Just accept that in the beginning,
and probably many times along the way,
there are going to be tough days.
If you don’t have a fire burning in you
to push you through,
when everything bad
that can happen happens (and it will),
you may not make it.”

Passion is necessary for success.
Nurture it.
