I have talked with some people about how to get rich and they said that in order to do so you have to have a passion for what you are doing or just a business off a good idea and work your a$$ off on it. I am some what confused as too which one is really needed or maybe both is needed? Can someone create a good business off a good idea or is it better too create a business of something you know and have a passion for and try to create a successful business like that? All your input is appreciated. Thanks.
