When 'What's Right' Is Just Wrong
Entrepreneur US|May - June 2023
Entrepreneurs hear the same advice again and again. But that doesn't mean it's correct. Here, six business leaders share the adages they object to.
When 'What's Right' Is Just Wrong

WRONG/ "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life."

"That's highly misleading. I have always done what I love, and that's enabled me to build competitive brands and businesses. But it's hard work. Managing a team or a process or a business does not come easy. I think the nuanced version of this would be, 'Do what you love and you will be able to take on all the hard work that's required to build a career or business. There is no way around the hard work, even if you love what you do."

--MICHAEL BOSSTICK, founder and CEO, Dear Media

WRONG/ "Hire a head of X sooner than later."
