Entrepreneurship Series – The Ugly – Passion
If fear of; the dark, pain and failure are the disease then passion is the cure. Passion is that inner fire that burns brightly within all entrepreneurs. It is that desire to succeed, the drive behind the dream and that almost inexplicable somewhat irrational motivation that propels them forward no matter what. IMHO this is absolutely the first and key attribute that all entrepreneurs must possess.

I have written about passion a number of times on Blogmatic: Passion the poison Pill, Stupid Passion, Passion versus Profit and there was an excellent post on by Daniel Isenberg just last week on The Danger of Entrepreneurial Passion. Entrepreneurial passion is a common theme and certainly an essential ingredient for any entrepreneur to have in their character, however, while it cures “The Ugly” disease passion is a double edged sword.

An Entrepreneur without passion is just another employee.
