IV. Business Entrepreneur Thoughts
Develop Your Interests
How many times have you heard, "You should follow your passion when creating a business." That's exactly what I have tried to do as we build and grow MDE Enterprises. I have several passions that I want to follow - one of them is a little white ball on green terrain.
Seriously though, your persistence is heightened the more you love what you do. Whatever you do, to do it well usually requires hard work and perseverance. Professional golf seems like it would be so much fun, and it would. It also takes a lot of work and commitment to compete successfully.
In following my pursuits, I decided to address several key aspects that motivate me. These items are:
Helping others
Writing
Using my creativity
Generating online revenue sources
I also plan to write that golf book I've always wanted to write some time next year. It's titled "Up and Down From the Ball Washer". It will fuel my love of golf, provide a means of helping others, and now that I have an internet infrastructure in place will hopefully create an additional revenue stream.
It took a lot of work for me to get to the point that I could provide my creative works to others through the internet. Many hours of research, misfires on certain approaches, lots of late night efforts, and finally it is in place and works very well. The thing that keeps me pushing and working the long hours goes back to the four motivational drivers above. Each item plays a big part in my psyche to push for success, something that is still out in front of me but every step takes me just a bit closer.
Whether your passion happens to be writing, teaching, managing, or developing software, take a close look at what makes you "want to jump up every day and get after it". Having a love of what you do makes all the difference in the world.
