You’re plugging away on a project and it hits you: What am I doing? Why am I here? Should I be doing something else with my life? It happens to everyone. It’s a fact: a lot of people lose passion for their work after being in it for a while. Remember the time when you were dreaming about your business idea?

If you ever lose sight of what you set out to accomplish, think back to the excitement and enthusiasm you felt just before launching your startup. Action Coach Jeevan Sahadevan tells us "How to Increase your Passion for your Business after Years of Building it."
