One of the most frequent questions I get asked is what is the most essential ingredient to entrepreneurial success.
Is it the idea? Is it the team? The prior experience of the founders? Is it the money or the timing? Or it just plain luck?
I believe that none of these is the most critical ingredient. Other things being equal, I believe that it is the passion you bring to the enterprise at hand that is often the differentiator between success and failure. When the going is good, passion may not matter. But when the chips are down, when the funds flow is drying up, when the markets are looking bleak; when you are not sure where your next order will come from, or if at all it will come; that is when the passion you have becomes the only thing standing between you and failure.
How do you find passion? Management consultants and psychologists make fortunes writing books and doing seminars on how to find and maintain passion in various aspects of life. Obviously, it is too complex a topic to cover in one short piece (nor do not want to drive them all out of business!). But whatever be the method, it is important that you be passionate in what you are doing or find an enterprise that you can be passionate about. That could be the key to your success.
