What Produces Great Companies

Posted August 08, 2008 in Management, Leadership, 3 Comments »


What drove amazingly crazy companies to colossally destroy the market?

This:

  1. If you're not passionate about something, don't do it.
  2. If you're not passionate about something, don't do it.
  3. If you're not passionate about something, don't do it.
  4. If you're not passionate about something, don't do it.
  5. If you're not passionate about something, don't do it.
  6. If you're not passionate about something, don't do it.
  7. If you're not passionate about something, don't do it.
  8. If you're not passionate about something, don't do it.
  9. If you're not passionate about something, don't do it.
  10. If you're not passionate about something, don't do it.

Get this.

  1. 6-year research study.
  2. 2000 pages of interview transcripts.
  3. 21-person research team.
  4. 6000 pages of documents.
  5. 7-year New York Times Bestseller.

What drove companies to become @#$% great?

  1. Passion.
  2. Passion.
  3. Passion.
  4. Passion.
  5. Passion.
  6. Passion.
  7. Passion.
  8. Passion.
  9. Passion.
  10. Passion.

If you're not passionate every second of your working life, use that as a clue:

  • The more you spend on that sucky-suck-suck task/product/project, the more your business destroys its potential.

For each and every little mutha-@#$% thing your business does, ask:

  • "Am I/we deeply passionate about doing this mofosoko?"

(Otherwise, delegate/outsource it.)

The barometer:

  • Your company's chance to kick-ass is directly proportional to how much passion your company taps.

Passion. Win.

Every @#$% tick.

Trizle Team,

I completely agree with the post, but it begs the question that I have not been able to answer...

How do you find that thing you are passionate about?

I realize that for some this question may not even make sense, but for others like myself, it is the entire crux of the issue. I have yet to come across something that I am truly passionate about.

So, what does Trizle have to say about finding passion?
