In my background, I and lot of people often called Zero Entrepreneur. So I have started several businesses and grown them, some of which grown quite large in size. So in this segment what I am going to talk to you about is the passion it takes to be an entrepreneur.

Host: What does it mean when you say being an entrepreneur takes passion?

David Krauskopf: Well in starting a business and getting it going what you will run into is an incredible amount of difficulties and things that you did not imagine and passion simply put is the emotional attachment to your business that will get you through the hard times. It's kind of like that burning driving feeling that this can work, this must work, this will work and so that's the general feeling is the emotional attachment to the business is passion.
