You have to love what your doing. Isn't that the point of being an entrepreneur? You start a business because you love it and that's when all those hours of work don't seem like work because your actually enjoying it. I think the 2nd point is the most important.

You start a business because you love it and that’s when all those hours of work don’t seem like work because your actually enjoying it.

Evan - I agree with each point. And I believe them all to be important. I have launched businesses that were profitable but I fell out of love with them and the passion was gone. So I sold them off and kept the ones that I have deep passion for. It is great to make money. It is even better when you can make money doing what you love. Congrats Corrie!

This is so often over looked and is literally the most important part of launching a business. I use a method I call the Formula of 5. For me to launch a new business, I need to ensure I can have $5M in revenue (aka do I have a customer), within 5 years, and currently have less than 5 direct competitors. - Mike “Do you have a customer?” – I couldn’t agree more.
