Passion is your only chance, little guy

Please please please read this post by Kathy Sierra! The only refreshing piece I have found in the blogosphere in the last several weeks! I just loved it! Kathy talks about user passion but passion is most important for every entrepreneur.

Passion is a beautiful thing. Passion is what keeps you awake at night because you are so excited about what you are building. Passion is what makes you work on weekends. Passion is what blinds you to imaginary hurdles. Passion is what makes you deaf to destructive criticism. Passion more than makes up for lack of money. Passion attracts talent. Passion attracts customers. Passion brings pride in what you are doing. Passion sells your product. Passion sells your dreams. Passion makes you think differently. Passion makes you less greedy. Passion is what helps you get up after a bad fall. Passion is what builds great companies. Passion is the only hope for a startup.

Be Passionate or go home!

    Hey I feel Passion is at the core of ones’ life.
    No Passion => No Hope => No Life?
    Would like to just reword ur penultimate home:
    Passion is the only hope for a life!

    Passion removes Tension.
    And when there is no stress one can give her 100% to anything which she is Passionate about.
    I read Kathy blog already. Good presentation style she has.

    I loved the post. It was so “making cookies. I agree with you that passion is not an option for a startup.
