I have always been a Martha Stewart fan, and when I grabbed a copy of her book The Martha Rules: 10 Essentials for Achieving Success As You Start, Build, or Manage a Business
, I can’t help but sink myself into it. She writes
that if you really wanted to run a successful business, it pays that you build
it around what you love doing most. Just take a look at her. She loves keeping
houses clean. She loves cooking. She loves gardening. She loves making craft. She
loves renovating and decorating old houses. She great at them and she made
millions because she monetize what she was most passionate about.
"Build your Business around something that you
love--something that is inherently and endlessly interesting to you," she
writes.
She continues to write that:
"It is great to love one's work. Doing work that you
enjoy gives you energy. You are imbued with enthusiasm. Your senses seem
sharper. You wake up with new ideas every day and with solutions to conquer the
challenges that cropped up the day before. You are always confident that goals
are attainable, that creativity and ingenuity and hard work and passion for the
work will make "it" all come together. This "passion" for
one's work is just like an all-consuming love-affair--something that all of us
crave to experience but encounter only once or twice in a lifetime if we are
lucky."
Remember that not all the time you are given the chance for
a break. So, don’t miss it. If you’re great in writing and someone offers you a
writing gig, don’t waste time. Grab it. Strike the rod while it’s hot. And if
you have that passion, do something to keep it burning. Never waste the chance
to grow because most likely that chance will never come back again.
Love what you do, do what you love and you’ll be rewarded
not only with money, but also with the satisfaction that you have truly done
something great in your life. The most successful people do not really gauge
their success with how much wealth they’ve accumulated, but how fulfilled they
are at the end of the day. So, no matter what you want to venture in, whether
it’s designing a website, wedding planning, catering, or selling merchandises
online, let that passion keep you going and fuel that passion by breaking
barriers day by day.
