#What could you do all day that doesn't feel like work
#what lights you up
#what would you spend time doing if you were rich.
#what impact do you want to make
#what are your desired feelings.
Reading all these makes me feel like you spoke about me. These should be the guilding principles for any entrepreneur. When a business fails, the passion and desire you have for such area would keep you going.
Once I sit at my sewing machine in morning, it becomes very hard to stand up just to eat because I barely feel the Hunger.
I'm not a pro at what I do yet but I aim at in. Back in the University, I never took a dim from anyone. Not because the money is small but I thought of how I could contribute to the lives of those that could barely pay for these services in other places. Never felt bad about it... after all, I was doing what I love.
I recently picked up a new interest in making shoes and bags and what really counts at the moment still isn't the money. Although, I now make money offering these services but I'm not profit driven as much as I want people to see what I can do.
