Episode 67: Problems with my Passion
from Rich the Architect · host Rich the Architect
As I looked into growing the firm recently I came across a book that hit a nerve with me. The book, 'Company of One' by Paul Jarvis, speaks about how growing for growing sake isn't necessarily the best business approach, and doesn't actually lead to overall happiness in life. While I've only gotten through about half of the book so far, in this episode, I speak about passion in business and how the book considers passion whimsical and often leads to business failure. Then I follow it with a real world example from one of my clients, and wrap it up with where I'm going to go from here. Here's an Amazon link if you're interested in purchasing the book: https://www.amazon.com/Company-of-One-Paul-Jarvis-audiobook/dp/B07KFNRRTS/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1626904862&sr=8-1
