What’s Love Got To Do With
It?
Copyright 2004 Diane Hughes
Ask successful online business owners,
and they’ll quickly tell you there are certain things that are imperative
in order to reach your business goals. Some of the common responses to the
question "How do you thrive online?" are: dedication, organization,
perseverance, and street smarts. But what’s love got to do with
it?
Everything! The number one factor stated in regard to success
online is "loving what you do." There are several reasons this is important.
The first deals with the very nature of online business.
Burn
Out
Most Web startups work practically 24 hours a day. Every spare
moment is devoted to nurturing the new business. If you don’t absolutely love
what you do, you’ll quickly burn out. Frustration, aggravation, and fatigue
will set in and- before you realize it - you’re on your way
out.
Perseverance
Love of what you do also comes into play
with regard to perseverance. Those who can’t wait to begin work every
day are more likely to persevere in down times than those who only do the
work to get a paycheck.
Without a love for what you do, you are more
likely to jump ship during rough times, reducing your chances for
success.
Dedication
Dedication is only present when certain
emotions are present. People will be dedicated when they have
loyalty toward someone or something. People will be dedicated when they
are feeling greed and want to achieve a reward. And people will be dedicated
when they love someone or something.
Without some emotional backing,
dedication is just another word. And unless you have dedication for your
online business, it’s just going to be something else to
do.
Street Smarts
Everybody knows that experience is the best
teacher. And just how do you get experience? By living life online
and taking chances. But how likely are you to take chances and gain the
street smarts you need if you don’t love what you do? Not
very!
Gaining that vital real-world experience you need to succeed
only happens when you persevere and are dedicated to your business. That
won’t happen unless you love what you do.
Do you see a cycle here?
Every element you need for success
has one central foundation... love. You
must love what you do in order to spend night and day building a
prosperous business. You must love what you do in order to survive
the tough times and gain the experience you need.
If you’ve been
struggling with your online business, I’ll give you a piece of advice. Look
at what you’re doing. Do you love it? If you could choose anything in the
world to do, would this be it? If not, you might be wise to re-evaluate
your online business. Making changes now could save you a lot of trouble in
the future.
If you *do* love what you do, I encourage you to hold
on. All the attributes I’ve listed above will help you succeed if you stay
focused and keep the fire alive.
