Entrepreneur: Love What You Do

I honestly believe that the only way a person can be successful as a business person is to love what you do.

And you should already know deep down inside things that you're good at.

It doesn't have to be specific at first, but generally things that you're interested in. For example, I'm a very creative person, so I know I could do many things that provide creativity. Your interests in life do not have to be one specific thing.

When you love what you do you will put in time. And you will enjoy it a lot. Maybe not every minute of it, but overall yes, you will enjoy it because you're living life with passion.

If you really like something, then you will find a way to make it successful. The internal drive and determination is all it really takes to see something succeed.

It's daunting for many, no one to lead you, but you have to believe in yourself. I find inspiration in other people in similar fields. I look at their bios, or I try to communicate with them online, or I read some of their quotes on their philosophy. These things act as inspiration that yes, it can be done. I may not be doing exactly what they're doing, but if I can take something away from it, anything at all, then it has helped.

The Power of Ideas - Nintendo

Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto, the founder of Nintendo, one of the most profitable companies in the world defines an idea as the following: "something which solves multiple issues at once". His entire business is based on ideas. Using quick-fix schemes to focus in on one issue at a time usually yields side-effects and even more problems that weren't there before. An idea should fix multiple things at once. Miyamoto's ideology is that everything he comes up with should fit this criteria for an "idea".

There is always a trade-off, whether it's one person or a company, there is only a limited amount of resources of time or money that one can give. When everybody does the same thing, there is no competition. In order to succeed, you must have these ideas, which are solutions bringing together different problems that can be solved at once. This is what produces uniqueness, and gives value.

I would say that most psychological disorders stem from lack of confidence. When you have depression, or anger management issues, or avoidant personality disorder, or panic attacks, it comes from a place of non-faith in oneself.

I have frequented different types of messageboards or forums with mental health, and the one thing I realized, struggling myself at times, was that most of these problems are not going to be fixed by attacking it individually. When a person solves other aspects of their life, such as being grounded, or learning about themselves in a meaningful way, or enjoying a new perspective on what life has to offer, then everything else will fall into place.
