We all tend to get a big caught up in our work and at times become obsessive about what we do. I think what we all have to remember is there is a between difference between being obsessive and being passionate. Now you can be obsessive about something and really not be passionate about it, but you can never seem to be passionate about something and not obsessive.
I remember when we first started up our Real estate business we were incredibly passionate about it and that passion turns into an obsessiveness about making it grow. Well recently with all the headaches and problems you can imagine much of the passion has been driven out of it. Perhaps now I am even a bit obsessive about getting rid of tenants!
Anyway, where I was going with this is a friend, Harold Hagen, forwarded off this great video to me about a small store owner down in Los Angeles. It’s just under 13 minutes and is a wonderful example about someone who is so passionate about his business it is an obsession.
Take 13 minutes out of your life, relax and watch this fellow talk about what he does, then when it’s over, maybe ask yourself how passionate you are about what you are doing and if you aren’t, what are you going to do about it?
Nice to see someone make a living from something they enjoy.
