Words to live by:
Ideally, since 80 percent of your life is spent working, you should start your business around something that is a passion of yours. If you’re into kite-surfing and you want to become an entrepreneur, do it with kite-surfing.
Look, if you can indulge in your passion, life will be far more interesting than if you’re just working. You’ll work harder at it, and you’ll know more about it. But first you must go out and educate yourself on whatever it is that you’ve decided to do – know more about kite-surfing than anyone else. That’s where the work comes in. But if you’re doing things you’re passionate about, that will come naturally.
— Richard Branson
This is precisely why I started Digital Mark. It’s why I’ve worked through this weekend with a smile on my face. It’s why I can’t imagine doing anything but what makes me happy and pays the bills. Digital strategy and online marketing (are serious passions of mine and) increase my clients’ bottom lines. Win-win at its finest.
With that said, I invite you to join my fellow solopreneurs and I as we celebrate entrepreneurship in Detroit on Wednesday, April 21, 2010, 7pm at Urbane Space.
