Frustration and a feeling that all we want to do is to quit. Quite common feelings among entrepreneurs.

When all the “I have to/I should” gets too much our energy seems to fade away. We work so much we start to wonder why we are doing what we do. We loose touch with our initial passion- the reason we started our business in the first hand. Still we don’t quit, at least most of us don’t. We hang onto that dream we had when we started.

So what will it take to reach the success we are dreaming about? How many hours will we have to work on things that seem to have absolutely no return on investment? How many hours have we spent away from our families because we “have important things to do”?

How quickly you reach your success depends on several things; what your meaning of success is, what you are focusing on, your prioritizing, your business and much more.

As a new year approach new chances arise. New opportunities, new energy and a willingness to work towards what we want. We start to dream again….

What about you and your business?
How do you feel? How has 2011 been for you so far? What will 2012 look like? Are you working your business with passion? What do you think it will take to run a successful business that suits your lifestyle?

I want to encourage you to continue, no matter how hard it seems right now. If you really believe in your dream you can make it come true. It will take some hard work but you will eventually get there. Just work smart and keep small goals to help you get there faster.

Have a question about how to run your business with passion and efficiency? Come and talk to me here!

Can you profit from your passion no matter what it is? What if you aren’t sure what your passion really is and when you know it how do you make it profitable?

Defining Passion

Passion for me is when someone has a burning desire inside of them and they want to tell the world about it. When it comes to business it is something that they can imagine doing for a long time and won’t get tired of. Something that fulfills them and makes them happy.

According to the dictionary it is a powerful emotion, that is so spot on!

To me this passion is not related to money. Some say they are passionate about making money but I think that is more of a need and want. We want to make money and we are ready to work real hard at getting it. But is it your passion?

You can make money with almost anything, but when you are passionate about the subject it becomes so much easier.

Objections Holding You Back

“I really want to work with dogs, but….”

“I have a graphic artist degree but I don’t work with it, I’d like to but….”

“I love gardening, too bad my back is not what it should be. If only there was a way for me to work again…”

These are only a few of real objections I have heard. One of the most common ones is: “It’s too hard, I can’t make it work” What that is in reality is FEAR.  You have to let go of that fear and start making positive changes. And it all starts with your mind.

You can be whatever you want to be. It doesn’t matter if there is too much competition, if all the paperwork is overwhelming or if money will be tight. You can make it happen. There are always solutions, they may be small but there are always possibilities available to you.

Making The Change

To all of the above objections and plenty more similar ones I have given advice. But my advice is worth nothing if you are not ready. You need to be open to change. You need to want to jump and just go with it. You can wait all you want for you to be ready, that readiness may never come. Instead you need to make an active decision and work it!

Taking the Step to Becoming a Passionate Entrepreneur and Change The World

I’m definitely no psychic but I can step into a room and sense the feeling of that room in a minute. I will know exactly what is going on, sadness, anger, happiness etc. Obviously over the net I can’t step into your living room and feel what is going on. So I need you to tell me. Tell me about the happiness, the sadness and how it effects your life and how you want to make the world a better place. And I will help you take the step into becoming a passionate Entrepreneur that will change the world.

I don’t want to just scratch the surface, for real change I want to know what is going on and send you on a journey that opens up your mind. A journey that change you and your life for the better.

Are you Ready To Work It?

There are a few ways you can bring forward your passion in business and make it profitable. For starters let me give you some tips;

• Take a good deep look inside and feel what you are passionate about. What do you like? What excites you?
• Write down any objections that come and put them aside
• Now focus on the positive side and decide on one thing you will do that will take you closer
• Forget about the “but(s)” Pretend they don’t exist.
• Go work it! Small steps will take you a long way. Think forward!

Two Other Ways To Bring Forward Your Passionate Side:

• Talk to me. My time is limited but I love what I do so I make time to talk to people who want to combine Passion and Profit. You can find information about my coaching here.  (FYI this page is currently being updated) We will talk about you, your business, your business model and how you can improve it. Or how to get started if you don’t already have a business.
• OR you can go with me on an amazing journey that will change your life. The Your True Message Workshop is coming up and I promise you that it will bring forward your passion and you will get absolutely sure of what you want to do and how to profit from it.  The Your True Message workshop is a 4 week workshop that will dig deep to bring out the best of you.

I’ve always been very curious. Not curious as in what other people do but what life has in store for me ahead. What is going to happen, what has happened and how I will feel as a person.

Life’s been rough on me and many times I’ve had to force myself to hold my head above the water but I have never resisted. And that is where I get my power from. I’m a great encourager and motivator to others just because I know the feeling of being alone and the feeling of having the whole world on your shoulders. I can motivate people to do things they never imagined but I’ve only once met one person to make me feel like I can do anything. That the plans and dreams I have for my business are possible. That I can make it.

We are extremely limited in our minds many times and can miss a simple solution to our problems because we bury ourselves too deep and think there is no end to the pain. Frustration, anger and sadness fills us and we start to wonder if there is really a way to get out of the “mess” we somehow got ourselves in.

But life is so much more than this – life is happiness, joy, laughter and full of possibilities. Can you see it?

Can you see where you will be with your business in a month? In a year? In five years? Most can’t, fear and doubt get the best of us and it can be hard to visualize. But what we can do is feel. If we close our eyes we can imagine what we want to feel a year from here. Feelings like; satisfaction, happiness, fulfillment, respect, love and peace in our hearts. The feeling of knowing we have done something good.

You probably want to change peoples lives with your business – go for it! If you are struggling today know that life is much more than what you see right now. And if you feel you are steadily on your way tot he top – keep going. There will be rain sometimes but the sun will soon shine again.

There is no easy shot for pain or success – but you will be OK and so will your business.
