Recently, I attended a women’s leadership meeting where the question “Can a great idea mixed with passion make you money?” was the subject of discussion. I listened to several professional women business owners discuss the keys to growing a successful enterprise. Here are the top 5 answers straight from the top!
1. I don’t believe entrepreneurs are born.
2. A great idea mixed with passion will always make you money.
3. The best way to build a successful business is to identify a market with a high disposable income and think about what you can offer them.
4. Walk your talk. In order to be a successful business owner, think and act like one.
5. Have a plan, stick to it for a period of time, and don’t be afraid to change course if you need to.

These five points or answers are right inline with some of the things I write about on my blog. Persistance being the key I believe. Building a business or a website in a week or two then getting an attitude about it not putting money in your pocket is going to be the path of the majority.
So just be the minority. 97 % of americans hate their jobs and have not yet decided to do any thing about other that getting a new one.
So what be a 3% person and do something about it. Anything. The “knowing” alone that your doing something to get yourself out of a job or business you currently hate is extremely motivating.
We need to be inspired. Your responsible to inspire yourself and make it happen. Being passionate about the product or service you provide makes it seem like your not even working. Isn’t that cool!
I’ve been in sooo many spots where I have said to myself, ” this is probably where most people would quit. I wonder what will happen if I don’t” many time what happened was just what I was looking for. Never Quit
Great post. Joe Crawford
