I spoke tonight at the Entrepreneurship Roundtable for the GSB of University of Chicago. Someone asked a very interesting question. Can you have too much passion in business? Can passion blind you? I think that the answer is yes. Having too much passion in your business can push your drive beyond where it makes business sense. You then either burn out or go way past the realities or your chances of success.
This is where mentors and advisors can help set guidelines and boundaries for all of us!
