So much of your ability to succeed in business comes from your passion.

If you don’t have a burning, passionate desire to get your business off the ground, or to take your existing business to the next level, then don’t invest another ounce of effort!

Passion is behind every great success story.

Six years ago my office assistant introduced me to her soft-spoken fiance, Dustin. He was in a local band. They were trying to make it big.

My first glance told me he might be just another dreamy musician.

When I finally saw him actually perform, I was blown away by his passion. It was overwhelming and contagious. I knew immediately that he would go a very long way in the music business.

Over the last 6 years he has traveled the world playing sold out shows to rabid fans over and over again as the lead singer of “Thrice”.

Last night I sat at home and was proud to watch David Letterman introduce my friend Dustin Kensrue as “…an accomplished musician and songwriter”. He did a phenomenal job on Letterman and is climbing the Billboard Charts.

Passion. You’ve gotta have it!
