Hi Avril. Welcome to the Blockchain. Christine said I should stop by and say hi.
I like your post and I think passion is necessary for you to succeed in the entrepreneurial world, however at the moment we are facing so many new challenges that it's even MORE difficult to succeed as an entrepreneur even if you have all the passion in the world.
This is coming from my experience over the last few years trying to build up my own business from nothing and I find myself at the precipice of having to pack it in and go back to a corporate environment.
I have loads of passion for my work and I believe I provide good value to my clients, I work hard and I offer services at excellent rates, yet I'm probably going to end up working in a corporate job doing something I am not passionate about while essentially building someone else's business.
So it's a good question - is passion enough? I would like to think in a just world where effort is rewarded that it would be, but the world isn't like that anymore. Society has decayed and good old fashioned work ethic is not rewarded the way it once was.
Regarding posting on Hive, I am going to offer some unsolicited advice here for you starting out - ensure that you aren't copying from another platform (like Facebook for example) even if it is your own words there - this is called respinning I believe and it is frowned on by the curators here. Make sure that everything you post is 100% your original words and if you use images that aren't yours, like royalty free stock images from pixabay or pexels that you include an image source in your post.
Here is a link to a great run down of tips, it was the first guide I read when I started and it helped tremendously.
Hope to read lots of your posts coming up, I am sure I can learn loads from you.
Have a great evening

Thank you so much for the lengthy reply Andy. I read the article you sent and found it informative. I will never plagiarize. My work is too important - and my blogs and articles all have my name on them.
Glad to have met you here. You too, have a good evening.
Just to add Andy, I am not a pro on content writing but I take time to write every post on what I learned...and that is what I teach. Be free to check out my Facebook page, you'll find great and useful nuggets there.
