\u201cIt was not reason that besieged Troy; it was not reason that sent forth the Saracen from the desert to conquer the world; that inspired the crusades; that instituted the monastic orders; it was not reason that produced the Jesuits; above all, it was not reason that created the French Revolution. Man is only great when he acts from the passions; never irresistible but when he appeals to the imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benjamin Disraeli, British Prime Minister and Novelist, 1804-1881<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Nor is it reason, logic and a good business plan that helps a business succeed.<\/p>\n

So\u00a0spend\u00a0less time\u00a0developing\u00a0the business plan and more time developing the vision, passion and skills.<\/p>\n

It’s passion, energy,\u00a0commitment\u00a0and often a lot of luck that makes a\u00a0business\u00a0thrive.<\/p>\n
