WORK/BUSINESS

Money isn't the ideal thing to chase, passion is.

What is your passion? Passion is sustainable.

It is never about making money

It is all about managing money

Friends and family should never be allowed t get in the way of business.

It is very life-threatening to the works of your hand.

Mental Abstraction:

As a "failed" serial entrepreneur, I hope to come back to this and wish I knew all I know at the type I wrote this.

I have also sat through arguments over the passion theory and I understand the points that have been made. Maybe, the word isn't passion but still chasing the paper is somewhat not sustainable, this, I can tell for a fact.

I hope that what drives me brings change and value to the world. Saying this makes me reconsider that maybe, we should all have a general vision, no matter what path we should to work and that is "world impact".

Sounds more like it right? I feel same too.

Still winging this aspect of my life
