‘passion is nice. but passion with positive cash flow is so much nicer.’

by andrea feinberg

hey, new business owner: congratulations on making a huge leap. your choice to risk it all (and i’d say a predictable income, resources and benefits are pretty huge to leave behind) takes enormous courage, persistence, and a plan. and, many would say it takes a strong devotion – some call it ‘passion’ – to the service or product you plan to deliver.

if you have identified a desire, created a plan and are working your plan to your satisfaction, you are in what i refer to as the “try (work)-evaluate” loop that continues until you accomplish whatever you want to achieve. as long as you recognize the early warning signals and respond to them in a timely way, you will remain unstuck, continuing to work better and achieve more.

however, most of us are not that fortunate. we start getting stuck and rather than respond to the early warning signals, we either ignore them, hoping they will go away, or try to power through them.

in the beginning, when i was driving back and forth between austin and arlington when michaelle was earning her ph.d., i found that there were times when my mind would get immersed in a topic and when i came back to the present, i might have driven between 50 and 100 miles. i couldn’t remember passing through cities. i did make the drive often, so the road was familiar, but what a scary thought that i was driving a death machine at 70 miles an hour on a crowded freeway and had no recollection of my navigation for such a long distance.
