Short YouTube interview where Scott Duffy introduces Dave Norton, who argues that passion is essential to business success. Norton compares entrepreneurial commitment to the founding fathers’ passion for creating a nation, saying employees across functions (sales, product, HR, marketing, customer service) must be passionate or the business will fail.
On today's Slider, Scipio's David Norton talks about the importance of passion in any business.
You know, building and starting a business is just like how this nation was founded. Our founding fathers were so passionate about building a free land, a country, a society that was ran by the people and for the people. And we all govern by these principles and live by them. And it was not easy. I mean, you think of the wars and the battles that they went through, to be victorious for this heartbeat, for this belief of the vision they were creating every day. And you had men who were willing to give it all up because of what they believed. That's passion. And we know where we are today. And that is the same thing in any business. Everybody has different perspectives and beliefs and passion that they fight for every day, that they sell for, that they believe in. And they come together and they're cohesive, and those are the successful businesses. And if you're not passionate on the sales front, if you're not passionate on the product front, on the HR front, on the marketing front, on the customer service and client services front, you will fail.
