The #1 Trait for An Entrepreneur
Our company exists to help entrepreneurs. Our passion is refueled every day by the opportunities that exist for our clients to grow their endeavors and fulfill their dreams. However, the most important question we must ask when deciding if a client is right to work with Blue Ivory is, “Are they passionate”?
This is because, without passion, no amount of resources or talent will lead to entrepreneurial success. But, on the other hand, if a client has the level of passion for their endeavor that we have for our mission at Blue Ivory, any obstacle can be overcome.
Not enough funding?
That’s part of the reason we’ve structured our model the way we have – to help overcome this problem in the short run. However, in the long run, the money will find you if your passion is properly communicated. See, people want to be around excited, passionate people – it helps fuel their own fire and energy on a daily basis. Customers, investors, and buyers will come as a result of your passion.
Can’t find the right team?
The right team is a group of people that are as passionate about the idea as the original entrepreneur. These people get excited about the future opportunities, about accomplishing the organization’s mission, and will often accept a lower salary just to be in the right environment with people that inspire and improve them every day.
Don’t have as much experience as others in your industry of choice?
Passion will get you on the right track to the “10,000 hours” Malcolm Gladwell (Author of Outliers, Blink, and The Tipping Point among others) says is necessary to break down this obstacle. Without passion you may give up practicing your trade and improving professionally and personally on a daily basis. However, with passion, this practice is not a chore but a wonderful blessing.
