Competence Vs "Doing Something You Love"

Well said Mike, you have hit the nail on the
head, and this is the message that many of the
guru's Hugh dismisses are delivering. Many of
the tips on developing successful businesses don't
just say "do what you love to do" they say align
your commerce with your passion - that's a true
win-win.

Surely anyone who has successfully built their own
business understands that it is NOT easy, there
is an incredible amount of effort, persistence,
learning and sweat that has to go into building
long-term success. How can you possibly stay
motivated if you are not passionate about the
area you are working in? Granted there are a
small number of very successful individuals that
are simply motivated/passionate about the game
of selling - the thrill of closing another sale (Donald Trump?). But there are MANY others who
turn their passion into commercially viable
enterprises (ie. Bill Gates as an excellent
example)

To many people are out looking for a program, solution or system that will quickly make them
rich, without ever understanding what it will
be like to WORK that program day and night for
6-12 months to get it off the ground.

Aligning your commerce with your interests is
important - but you have to have the end in mind
first.
