Taking the Chance

As I spoke with a friend today I was realizing how passionate he was becoming about opening up his own business. This is a huge chance since he walked away from a large corporate role with a ton of perks. However at the end of the day the perks, big salary and responsibility were not the passion that was driving him.

I think this is a great way to look at life in general. You have to have passion for what you do or the largest paychecks in the world will not mean anything. Ultimately each person will have to measure success differently but the ultimate goal is to have fulfillment each and every day and a passion that drives you to higher results. During our conversation he asked me, "how many people do I know that are real go getter's?" It took me a while to think of a few people that are trying new things each and every day to change where they are either financially, professionally, emotionally, or spiritually.

However the few that I could think of find a way to be successful regardless of the task at hand. It is people like this that you have to associate yourself with as they will teach you how to win and how to fail. Although no one wants to be a failure you have to be able to recognize when you failed and why as this will result in future successes.
