Trip Hawkins, founder of Electronic Arts, built his company on lifelong passion for games. Without deep obsession, Hawkins says, entrepreneurs and artists can't survive the obstacles they'll face and will fail.
Advice from Chip Hawkins, founder of Electronic Arts, on finding your passion, as seen in ZUGA 101. I have probably the best personal collection of games you're gonna find anywhere. I've just been a nut for almost any form of software, but games especially, whether it's card games, board games, computer games, video games. I've just got a spectacular collection. And of course now I have 4 kids that are different ages, so when we want to play, boy, we've got a fantastic set of choices. You can't get anywhere without incredible passion, because if you're an entrepreneur, there's going to be a lot of bumps in the road. A great artist has to do their art. There's nothing that can stop them from doing it. They just have to get it out there. It's the same thing for an entrepreneur. If you don't feel that way, then you're probably not really an entrepreneur. If you don't have a lot of passion for it, you're not gonna make it. And that's, I think, the big test.
