For the past few weeks I’ve been listening incessantly to the band Mumford & Sons new album. (Yes, I still call it an “album.”) These guys are amazing with profoundly powerful, deep and moving songs.  Here is a video of their most popular song.

WARNING: This song contains explicit lyrics so if you are offended by “bad words” than this isn’t for you. I could have put up a video for the “sanitized” radio version of this song but that version, sans the “bad word”, weakens the song by removing it’s emotion and passion.

So what does this have to do with you? Everything -  on many levels.

In the quest to make money, have you lost your passion for what you do? There are a lot of business owners today who are tired, so very tired and because of many factors are struggling and no longer have the passion for the business they once had.

There are some business owners who never had passion for their business but simply started it because that was what they were supposed to do or because they thought that would make them the most money.

Now here is fact that they new age motivational gurus won’t tell you: If you’re running a business MONEY is important and can lead to greater happiness provided that you have a passion for the business in the first place. There is no question that if you don’t like your business, if you lack passion for it, then more money won’t cure that or make you happier – in fact, more money, more business can have the opposite effect.

But the people who say things like, “If you’re not happy making $100 in your business you won’t be happy making a million dollars” are just plain full of it. I can tell you when I was a struggling magician doing three shows a month I became a heck of a lot happier when I started averaging 25 shows a month and didn’t have to worry about money. I was passionate about being a magician when I was struggling but I certainly was not as happy as when I was successful.

You need to identify whether being more successful in your current business would make you happier.

If your answer is “yes”, then you still have passion for what you’re doing and you need to not only reignite that passion but work on a plan so you can have the breakthrough you need.  I can certainly help you with that.

If you’re answer is “no”, that more money and greater success in your current business would NOT make you happier, then it is time for you to start a business doing something that you love to do. Despite what you’ve been told, you can get rich doing what you love.  This Thursday, I’m doing a webcast where I am going to lead you step-by-step for making that happen. This webcast is for my customers and subscribers only, so if you are reading this and are not on my email list, fill out the simple form on this page, and you’ll automatically get the free webcast details when I release them.

Happiness in your business is about passion and money. And you can have both.

Kick butt, make mucho “DEE-nero!”

P.S. I would love to hear your thoughts on this…even if they conflict with mine. Comment and let me know what YOU think.

PPS: Here is a version of my favorite Mumford and Sons tune, “A White Blank Page”. If you don’t feel the passion from this song. Check your pulse.
