The Most Successful Small Business Entrepreneurs Feel Passion for Their Business

When considering becoming a small business entrepreneur it is good to remember that the most successful small business owners feel passion towards their business.

Call it passion, enthusiasm, fire in your belly or a spring in your step. But whatever you call it, this is the thing that motivates most successful entrepreneurs. They may say they are motivated by the money or the freedom that comes with small business ownership, but a true entrepreneurial spirit is really motivated by the passion that he feels for his business.

They key to being a successful small business entrepreneur is often locating your own passions and turning them into a business.

One Commonality Among Successful Small Business Entrepreneurs is Their Enthusiasm Towards Their Business

When you are passionate about what you do it shows in everything that you do. This passion for your business comes out in self confidence and enthusiasm. Potential customers are much more likely to give their business to you instead of the competition when you are exuding all of these positive feelings in their direction.

Furthermore, a small business entrepreneur who truly loves what he does is much more willing to put in all of the extra time and effort that is needed to make the small business a success. Studies have found that small business entrepreneurs put an average of 60 hours a week into their small business. This compares to a traditional workers forty hour work week.

Those same studies have found that for their sixty hours, small business entrepreneurs often make the same or less money than the traditionally employed make in forty hours. Yet some how, the small business entrepreneur reports an overall "life satisfaction rate" which is six times greater than the traditionally employed! How can it be that someone who is working one and a half times the amount for the same or less pay is SIX times more happy? Simple!

Because the small business entrepreneur loves what he does! If your work is your passion then spending time at it is not an obligation, but an enjoyment.

How Can You Find Your Passion and Become a Small Business Entrepreneur?

Think about the things that get you excited. Allow yourself to dream. Ask yourself if I won the lottery and money was no longer my main objective, what type of small business would I run just for the fun of it? Dream without restrictions and criticism.

Re visit your childhood. Often childhood was the only period in our life that we had enough free time to allow ourselves to be "irresponsible" enough to do things just for the sheer pleasure of doing them. The things you liked in your childhood are often still passions of your adulthood.

After coming up with several things you love to do. Take stock of your talents. What of these things that you love to do, can you do well enough to turn them into a small business? Typically those things we love to do are the same things that we are gifted at, so finding a few that appear on both your passions and talents list is quite probable.

Assess the market place and look for a niche market. Find a niche market for one of your passions and you are well on your way to being a successful small business entrepreneur.
