This week’s Insider distinguishes between two kinds of passion. One has to do with what the business does and the other has to do with how you spend your time and with whom you spend it.
When it comes to owning a business, YES, follow your passion – your passion for how and with whom you want to spend your time.
This is not the same as loving what the business does.
Case Study: Jerry and his wife were car fanatics.
Jerry took an early retirement package from an insurance company. He purchased a resale of Maaco, the body shop franchise, in his local market.
A year later, feeling miserable, Jerry informed me he didn’t like the people.
“Are you referring to the staff or the customers?”
“Both,” he said. “The customers complain all the time, and the employees must always be watched.”
Even with my best advice, Jerry stayed true to his passion for cars and went with a car business.
