Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

... if the fire burns brightly enough, I believe a true entrepreneur will find a way. You have to have unwavering passion for what you�re doing. But, I want to add that it�s sometimes a good thing to listen to the naysayers. They just might help a budding entrepreneur stop and consider the obstacles - with a clearer eye. Try to look at it as constructive criticism - or, as a way to keep you from buying into your own hype. Often, when we�re passionate about something, we�re also emotionally attached to it. The danger is buying into your own hype, without looking at it with a critical eye. Naysayers just might be providing constructive criticism. So, be passionate, but keep your mind open to criticism.
