I am a huge fan of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the Food Network but until this last weekend, I had never been to one of the interesting eateries featured on this show. Wanting to get away for a day, my girlfriend and I hopped in the car and drove the three hours to Lesage, West Virginia to experience Hillbilly Hot Dogs.

When you watch Sherrie and Sonny on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, you have to wonder how much of the excitement for their business is real versus an act for the camera. . You might be wondering, how two people can be that excited about hot dogs after 10 years. After spending an hour there, I saw that it’s not just about the hot dogs. It’s about serving people and having fun in a relaxed environment.

What Bothers Me About Most People Trying to Make Money Online

When you listen to the advice that the “Make Money Online” gurus regurgitate, you hear terms such as: SEO, Keyword Research, Niche Marketing, PLR, Sales Letters and other techniques they have sold people on about making money online. These “gurus” are trying to sell you a dream of no work income and many people fall for it hook, line, and sinker.

A man of no understanding has vain and false hopes, and dreams give wings to fools. – Sirach 34:1

The Truth of Any Business Online or Offline

To succeed in any business, you have to have a passion for what you are doing. No matter what blueprint you have been sold, no matter what road map you are following; in order to be successful, you have to put in a lot of hard work to be successful.

Here is the kicker, if you have passion for the work you are doing and the people you serve, then it won’t seem like work. Yes, there will be some things that seem like work, but if you have a goal of serving others and having fun, then the work will be a necessary evil.

No matter what business you are in, if you are not passionate for that business, then you are going to fail. It is from the passion that you grow and in growing, you will be a success.
