One of the questions entrepreneurs must ask themselves before starting a business is do they have the passion in running the business they plan to start. What happens when an entrepreneur does not have the passion running his or her business? The business will probably not be very successful. This is because the drive to work and succeed is lacking. Thus, he or she will be less motivated to work diligently or willing to sacrifice for the business.

The passion for the work is further emphasized by the Sauder Alumni, Paul Gill, Paul Davidescu, and Jennifer Martin who came to our lecture. Paul Gill remarked that if one does not have the drive to work, he or she will not succeed because starting up a business is very time consuming and challenging. Furthermore, the beginning of the business is very challenging and is full of obstacles along the way. This can be testified by Jennifer and Paul Gill. Paul Gill persevered through periods where he had to drive around Lower Mainland for stores to sell his product, and he had to give out product for free in the beginning. Similarly, Jennifer had to fight through periods where she had to work with a broken hip.

Those Sauder Alumni are the best examples that passion is a key factor to success. None of them would be able to have their own successful business if they didn’t have the passion.
