Push Your Passion

February 25th, 2010  |  Published in Business, Change

How many times have you seriously done something that you enjoy? Something that you want to do and give back to someone else? Are these your passions?
Even as a student the level of involvement of my friends to their studies and what they want to do is sometimes  slim to none. With the new business world spinning at a rate that we keep pushing and keep advancing, the only way to keep it going is by doing what we love!

I can agree it sounds cheezy, you may be stuck in a job that you think you enjoy, but at the end of the day you couldn’t give a rat’s-ass about it.

I couldn’t tell you the many times my Grandfather and my parents just put everything aside and said, “Here, this is what we are going to do, and you’re going to help!” I was never 100% committed to what they wanted me to do; I stuck with it though. I learned what to do and how to act. But when it comes down to the nuts and bolts of your prime business or website, whatever, you have to care, and you have to love what you’re doing to make it worth while.

That’s not to say that you will not be successful, but simply a way to enjoy what you do, and be able to take yourself and your venture to the next level because you care, want, and need to see something come of what you do.

The way of Social Media has entirely changed the way we put our passions into our projects. You don’t have to agree with me, and quite honestly I don’t expect you to. I just personally despise seeing so many twitterers depending on ReTweets, @ Replies, and how many followers they have. And all that in the end does have significance, but what’s the most important part of this new marketing wave?

The Passion.

Give it all you’ve got. Make it significant, for yourself, others and they will come.

What are your passions? How can this be changed?
