NAWBO DC – Business Tips – Are You Passionate About Your Business, Take This Quick Quiz.
If you don’t love your business, you will dread going to work every day. The hours will drag, you’ll feel exhausted, and your clients will pick up on your lack of enthusiasm. Those who are passionate about what they do never feel as if they are working. Their passion is what drives them and makes them successful.
Are you passionate about your business? Take this quiz to find out:
The Passion Quiz
1. Do you have a strong curiosity about what you do, and a desire to keep learning more about it?
2. Do you have a sense of excitement and energy when working?
3. Do you want to talk with others who share your interests?
4. Do you fantasize about being on the top of your profession?
5. Do you envision taking your business to a new level never before reached by anyone?
6. Do you feel a sense of loss or like something’s missing when you’re not doing it?
If you answered “yes” to these questions, then you’re in the right business and still have the passion for it. If you answered “no,” don’t despair. If you’ve lost your sense of passion, you can still get it back. Entrepreneur Richard Branson advises you to go back to the “why” you started your business and look for the reason you started it in the first place. Find that passion behind your idea again.
As Branson says, “When you believe in something, the force of your convictions will spark other people’s interest and motivate them to help you achieve your goals. This is essential to success.”
The next time you interact with a potential client or customer, let that passion show. It can make all the difference between a delightful partnership and a so-so experience.
