Ray Kroc: "If you work just for money, you'll never make it, but if you love what you're doing and you always put the customer first, success will be yours."
The joy of creation drives the expansion of personal boundaries and the self-development of entrepreneurs. An environment of vitality, passion, and doing encourages self-fulfillment and success.
The entrepreneur
The entrepreneur is not deterred by hard work. His/her energy for acting stems from the joy of creation, and the job is done with great satisfaction.
An entrepreneur who chooses to engage in a domain that stems from a natural connection and which arouses interest and desire will be motivated by the joy of creation until success. This passion is the willingness to give 100% of yourself.
Here are some examples:
We all know the Instagram app, which started as a site for sharing images with followers on the web.
One of the founders, Kevin Systrom, said that at the beginning, when he first thought of setting up a site for photos in the Silicon Valley, people thought he was crazy and had a look that asked: "You left your job at Google to do what?" and, "Why would you work on photos? Photos are this thing that's been covered by Flickr. Facebook is doing it now."
But, despite the cold feedback, he decided to set up the project. He said he had already left his job and wanted to create something of his own.
The choice of a photo-sharing site initiative was natural to him, since he always dealt with photos, whether in photography, editing, or in cameras.
The urge to create something different, especially in a domain that one knows well, helps to achieve success.
Later, as is known, Instagram reached tens of millions of users, and Facebook acquired it.
The same applies to entrepreneurs in other fields. For example:
The Israeli entrepreneur, Asi Vaknin, discovered the joy of creation, which led him to set up a club and a surf school.
Asi's interest in surfing started at age six when he was surfing the sea, and later that hobby became a business. His ability and willingness to overcome the difficulties of the bureaucratic, financial, and marketing processes of setting up the project stemmed from a passion that came from the satisfaction of doing.
Encouraging children to act out of the joy of creation:
Finding the children's interests, and/or turning different topics into interesting ones for children, will encourage them to enjoy learning and doing, and to strive for excellence.
