(This article is an excerpt from Building a Purposeful Business by Jack Funderburk)
What is Passion when building your new business?
The essence of passion as it relates to a business venture is to find and invest yourself into that which you personally find attractive and believe in with the core of your being.
If you are not sold on the benefits you are providing your customers then don't expect to be "sold out" to building your internet business. Passion causes you to focus and apply the power of concentration to your purposeful intentions.
How Will Passion Affect You
Passion for what you do provides energy and stamina to persevere when the going gets tough. It keeps you from becoming disenchanted or disinterested. A fire in your bosom for what you are doing will propel you when the coals are otherwise fizzling.
Passion will keep you on track when things are not going as you planned -when your hopes are dampened because sales are not growing as quickly as you hoped, or there is too much month at the at the end of the money, it will keep you focused so you can concentrate just when you need it the most.
How Will It Affect Others
Passion cannot be bought, traded or congealed. It must be real. You will know it and those working with you will recognize it. In much the same way as a man is passionate toward a woman expressed by his willingness to do anything for her, so it is when one is strongly desirous to promote and build success in his profitable internet business that self sacrifice will be the norm.
When you are intent upon bringing value to the world there is no complaining about the economy, the political situation or sorry contractors - you don't know anything of these matters when you know you have quality value to bring to the market because purpose and mission are motivated by your passion to do whatever it takes.
You may have a passion for success, or making money, or any of a number of personal desires. These are different, though, than your commitment to the value YOU bring to the world. This passion is not so much a matter of what you do and has little to do with what you may get out of it but rather it is for what you believe and for what you know to be true. It is this sort of passion that will bring you true success.
Your Business as an Extension of Your Passion
The decision, therefore, of what your business is will be crucial to your success and deserves the investment of research and/or time to know you are totally committed to the value and benefits of the particular business you have chosen and for the value you bring to the table.
So, be sure you understand your business, its products and/or services and what you have to offer the world.
Believe in it wholeheartedly and your passion will fuel your efforts to promote it and build a business around it. Success will be the end result.
