How to manage Entrepreneurial Passion?

Did you know…

According to Psychology Today, there are two different types of passion — harmonious passion and obsessive passion.

As a business owner, it’s important to be passionate about the work you’re doing and the company you’re building. But it needs to be the right kind of passion.

Harmonious Passion
If someone has harmonious passion, they find satisfaction in their work because they enjoy it and it’s an important aspect of who they are.

Obsessive Passion
In comparison, obsessive passion is often tied to money, social status, or some other reward the job brings.

The biggest difference between the two is that obsessive passion often becomes rigid and inflexible.

In our book, Survival To Success, we address passion and burnout. You will find chapters titled “Manage Your Organizational Energy” and “Invest in YOU” that will help leaders of small, high-growth enterprises survive and thrive.
