I agree, passion is certainly a necessary ingredient for any entrepreneur. That being said, I agree with Isenberg in the fact that passion can get in the way of making sound business decisions. You're completely right, it's about having the right balance of passion and self-honesty. Thanks for reading. Josh, thanks for your comment.

After reading the article, I had one initial question. What is the definition of passion? Isenberg never really stops to spell out which definition he is using. One of the most relative definitions on <a href="http://Dictionary.com" rel="nofollow">Dictionary.com</a> is simply "any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling". To me, this means that *every* entrepreneur must hold a huge amount of "passion" for whatever their cause or business is. Without a passion, no one would make the sacrifices required to start a business from scratch. <br><br>From this article, it appears that Isenberg feels like passion and "cold-shower-self-honesty" must be exclusive of one another. Instead, I feel that successful entrepreneurs need to have the right mixture of both ingredients.... Keep up the good work. Joe, great post. After reading the article, I had one initial question.
