Episode 27: Episode 27: Build your energy

Akylles Talks

Almost nothing great has ever been achieved without passion. Think of Winston Churchill in the darkest days of WWII, Lincoln in the Civil War. Great writers and artists have passion. Performers, too, Edith Piaf being an outstanding example. Our most innovative business leaders, people like Steve Jobs, have it. But what is it? I looked up the word passion in several dictionaries and nearly all of them focused on romance. Then I came across The Urban Dictionary and there it was: “Passion is when you put more energy into something than is required to do it. It is more than just enthusiasm or excitement, passion is an ambition that is materialized into action to put as much heart, mind, body, and soul into something as is possible.” Business people with passions can be like magnets, attracting supporters, helpers, enthusiasts, devotees. Of course, success requires a lot more than a passion: intelligence, hard work, common sense, leadership, honesty, and courage help immensely. Sadly, a lot of passion can be misguided, especially when people think passion is enough. It is if you want to be a voice crying in the wilderness, otherwise, it isn’t. So come on pick up your energy, trust yourself, and Move forward. Be organized, Be passionate, Be Structured www.startupkudos.com IG: @Ramialame
