...the greatful dead parking lot i saw last week was also filled with a ton of passion...and nos...and based on the noodling and twirly dances i saw i am pretty sure all of the performance was extremely enhanced for the souls who partook in the "street racing"...but true to your words if your business is only nitrous (passion) you will eventually run out of steam (and take mushrooms)...all this really is to say is that any analogy that makes use of vin diesel is a great one...and here's to keeping our cars out of the shop and on the road...

I think you're elevating an important point for anyone considering a career as a biz owner Leslie. Just noticed that if you look at the word "passion" all the letters are there as a subset of the word ProfeSSIONAl. So being professional is more than just passion. It's passion plus the addition of more elements and competencies. Left over are the letters "R" "O" "L" "F" & "E" - Would be cool to come up with an acronym and what each of the additional letters represent to explain how being a professional is larger than just passion.

Maybe?

-Risk

-Opportunity

-Learning

-Finances

-Excellence
