The Price of Pursuing Your Passion

337/365: The Big Money

There has been a consistent theme lately in my interviews who entrepreneurs who are actively pursuing their passions and that's they have been willing to pay the price to move ahead with their ideas, dreams, and pursuit of passion.

How much have these committed entrepreneurs been willing to risk to make their dreams come true? Recently I have heard the stories of business innovators who have mortgaged the roof over their heads to finance their start-ups and that is only something you dare to do when you are filled with passion and unstoppable determination that you will make the money you need to succeed .

Great stories to follow are the creator of the board game to help couples reconnect in their relationships or to establish closer bonds called "Synchrohearts." This game was created by Bobby Oneal of Vancouver, Canada and is available online at http://www.synchrohearts.com. Entrepreneurs who have put their money where their mouth is and pursued possibilities for financing and growth with getting on Canada's reality show where capitalists consider financing businesses with their own money called the Dragon's Den. Bobby was on this show and did not get money from the Dragons and he still knew that his game has the right combination of intention, manufacturing in North America with women owned businesses, and helping others by providing a fun product which is easy to play, supportive of relationships and love, affordable entertainment, and created so that some of the proceed could benefit a non-profit organization that helps children. It's a winning combination of love, passion, excellence, guts, confidence and determination that will make  Synchrohearts a multi-million dollar success. That's my bet. You watch and see what happens with Bobby Oneal. It's going to be amazing.

I have a quote about pursuing your passions: "Persist and pursue. Make your dreams come true. Go after what you want because it won't go after you, until you've made it. " Think about what happens when athletes win gold medals. They are great when they compete, but we want to give them the multi-million-dollar contracts and endorsement deals the minute they win the gold medals. The medals serve as the validation that they've "made it." Once you've made it you are pursued.

Another couragious women with determination and persistence is Louise Maxwell, the founder of Soulfulencounters.com. Louise has spent the last 3years developing a website to create a community for those with disabilities and for parents of children with disabilities. Louise is a disabled female entrepreneur who has been willing to take huge risks to see her website connect thousands who need to be connected.
