It's Sunday night. For some it's the last chance to squeeze the last drops of fun out of the weekend. For others, the feeling of dread is overcoming them. The dread of getting up another day to go to a job that they dislike or find boring. But for a select few - it is just another evening that they're spending with their family. They are not plagued with worry, loathing, dread, or anything else. Some might even be making a list of what they're going to work on come morning.
These select few people love their work. They love what they do. They do not have a "JOB" but instead, have a pursuit. A goal. A mission. They're on to something and they're excited about what they are "building." Whatever that goal is they are passionate about it.
The most successful people are passionate about life. They cannot wait to get to the next level. Whether it's in their personal life or career - those who have passion work harder, more often, and are the most successful people I know. But to them it's not work - it is FUN! Yes, I have been accused of "losing my mind" because I could not wait to get back to work. But I love my work because it's exciting, and fun, and I cannot wait to see what I can do next!
If you too think that I'm crazy then you are in the wrong business. It's time for you to start figuring out what drives that passion in you. You've heard it before: Find something you are passionate about and find a way to get into a career that encompasses that thing.
Think about it - if you hate your job then you go to work everyday and clock in and clock out. You do what is required of you and you leave. But.... if you are PASSIONATE about what you do then you are finding ways to improve, do better, and be better. That is the key to success in business and your personal life.
PASSION equals happiness. Happiness equals SUCCESS.
Most things in REAL LIFE you just can't learn from reading books and sitting in the classroom. There is no black and white there is only the grey. That is how real business works. The world of business is constantly changing and you must be able to change with it. There is no waiting for the right answer - there is only looking for the best idea possible at that very moment. That is real business.... this is REAL LIFE.

There are certain rules that you have to live by to succeed in the business world. These rules are what I call the 10 P's of Business. They are (in no particular order):
- Passion
- Persistence
- Performance
- Perception
- Presence
- Presentation
- Planning
- Preperation
- Politics
- Positive
Over the next few weeks I will explain what these mean, how they affect the way you do business, and how the P's of business affect you.
