Passion vs. Emotion

Passion vs. Emotion

What's the difference?

Especially in business. You want to be passionate, but emotional decisions can often cloud judgment.

When you start your own business, everything is personal. Business is all about relationships. Relationships are personal.

Music is emotional, passionate, irrational, liberating, manifesting, triumphant.

The music business is...well, I don't have enough time right now to describe that one...I have to get back to work.

Where do you draw the line? How do you navigate the waters to make pragmatic decisions? Most of us just wing it.

A friend once told me that the key to winning in the music business is to "act first, apologize later"

A fortune cookie once told me: "Observe, Listen, Think, Feel. Use Your Intuition, Then Speak."
