While you may be thinking passion is reserved for love, but it can be part of your life. Yesterday’s post explained Why Passion Helps Your Online Business Success. While knowing that may help your business, if you do not know what makes you passionate, it is hard to start an online business that can push toward success.
What did you enjoy as a child?
Remember what made you happy when you were young. Then think about the things you love to do now. There may just be a correlation between the two.
What would you do if every job paid the same?
You were probably told as a child that this job pays and that job does not. Your passion is in what you want to do.
What makes you feel alive?
This is actually based on a powerful quote by Harold Whitman. “Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
What fascinates you?
If you are regularly learning about something it is probably a passion of yours and a hint of your future business success.
What do people ask you?
The topic they ask about is very likely something that you are passionate about and they hear it in your voice and feel your enthusiasm. They are coming to you because you are who they consider an expert.
What would you do if failure was impossible?
This is probably the biggest test of all. You may have something pop into your head that you have been wanting to do. You fear failure. Do not worry, everyone does. The difference is what people do, do they push through the fear, or allow it to stop them. Your passion, your future, your business success all depend on what you do with that fear.
