How Do You Find Your Passion and How Do You Pursue It?
Randy Komisar, Kleiner

How do I know what my passion is? Rather than thinking about
THE passion, think about a portfolio of passion and match with opportunity in
front of you
You will be paralyzed by trying to figure out what is My
Passion? And What is the end mark that I am going to make.
Instead, decide what is important to you, what are your
morals and now what am I going to do next?
“My career makes no sense at all in the windshield, it only
makes sense in the rear view mirror.”
A Hero’s Journey “you have a
very special mission on this earth, a mission that will succeed beyond your
wildest dreams, if you have the faith and the courage to find your entrepreneurial
calling.”
The Hero’s Journey is all about you, but it is not about you
at all.
Seeing struggles as adventures and setbacks as lessons.
What matters most isn’t the prize at the end, but how the
hero is changed in the process.

End of life 3 Questions matter
Have I contributed something meaningful? : Secret: Never
give up your search for a calling
Was I a good person? Secret: write a list of all my “I will
not…”, then when you cross one, recognize it as a signal to pause and reflect;
for each of the I will not, write a message in a bottle: a letter to yourself
in the future. Then label that envelope
and put it in your top desk drawer, so at that moment of greatest temptation,
you can hear a better voice.
In the end, Will I be worthy to hear: “Well done, my good
and faithful servant”??
Who did I love and who loved me?: Choose your fellow
travelers well, for it is a trip you only take once
Be world class at something!: that fits my special gifts
Ask 5 people that I know well, what
I do better than anyone else in the world?
Use God given gifts to do something that brings me great joy
Satisfy a deep burning need in the world, a calling must
serve others!
“Do you know what the greatest
difference is between you and God? God never
believes that he is you”

A Hero’s journey is not about your happiness, but it will
bring you happiness
Think of someone in your life who you are truly grateful
for, but have thanked. (parent, favorite aunt, coach, teacher)
Write a page letter expressing your gratitude, go and find
them and read the letter out loud
Being Rich is spending less than you make so your time
belongs to you!!
It takes 10,000 hours to master a skill. That’s three hours
a day of practice, every day, for ten years.
Entrepreneurs become successful, one small investment at a
time, in a never-ending process. Because entrepreneurial success isn’t a
destination, it’s a journey. A journey taken one determined step at a time, in
a way that builds lifelong treasures.
