Of course there is always an exception to the rule but most
people don’t open a business because they have the money. In fact they open
their business because they have the passion.
As I think back on my own experience of owning and operating
4 produce markets in the Detroit area I can’t help but tout my experience in
finding success with no more than $40 and a desire to succeed. For me, the
success I experienced came from having to “Think outside the box” in order to
make-do with what I had to until I could do better as a business owner.
An example of this is, early in my entrepreneurial career instead
of buying a van that would have set me back a few bucks I used my car to haul
and store my produce. “Nothing
quite like the smell of wet-carpet especially in the hot sun”.
In all honesty, even if I wanted to buy a van I had very
little money but plenty of passion for the business I was in.
Passion not money got me over many of the early hurdles
entrepreneurs face when first starting a business. This isn’t to say that the
need of money isn’t important; money is the bloodline that keeps the business
up and running. However, if you’re
short of money but have the desire and passion for success you will as many
entrepreneurs do find away to do what it takes to get your business started.
You’d be surprised that passion and a desire for financial
freedom go a much longer way than money.
