Money Matters and More

The link between passion and entrepreneurship can be one of the biggest factors in determining whether a start-up will be successful or not, according to Colleen DeBaise, the Wall Street Journal’s Small Business Editor.  Be sure to join me for a conversation with her today about, “Entrepreneurship 101:  What’s Passion Got to Do With It?”, on my radio show, Money Matters & More at 10:30 a.m. (Eastern) on blogtalkradio.com.  DeBaise will share stories of successful entrepreneurs, included in her new book, The Wall Street Journal’s Complete Small Business Guidebook and offer tips about how to get started.   Here are a few questions that she recommends that every prospective entrepreneur ask before taking the leap:

Are you passionate about your product or service?

What is your tolerance for risk?

Are you good at making decisions?

Are you willing to take on numerous responsibilities?

Will you be able to avoid burnout?
