Passion drives the best companies
- The best companies are those where the founder or small group of founders personally suffered, or they couldn't get something or had to overcome something.
- The weakest companies are those where someone sees a market opportunity and tries to build a business around it.
The reason is that there's no passion for something we see as a market opportunity, but when it is personal, it becomes a source of passion.

The why of an organisation and individual
- The organisation. The reason a company exists goes far beyond the product or service and is what keeps the inspiration alive. People can be passionate about the different aspects of business, such as customer service instead of the product itself.
- The individual. When we reach adulthood, our why's are fully formed. The rest of our careers offer us opportunities to bring that purpose to life. When we do something that we are not passionate about, we have to work harder at it.

Entrepreneurship vs small business owner

A small business owner owns a small business.
An entrepreneur is a problem solver.
