Is a Myth Keeping You from Becoming a Legend? Entrepreneur’s Source Founder Terry Powell Explains
A business is simply a vehicle that gets you to your goals. Some people think you have to have an emotional connection to a business to be successful. The reality is successful people are in “the business of business.” They don’t have a love affair with the product or service.
“Growing up, it seems most people are taught to ‘do what they love’ or to find an occupation they are passionate about. This way of thinking is all well and good, but what happens when that passion doesn’t bring you anywhere near your goals?” said Powell.
