Following your passion can also make you blind to your mistakes. I know a guy who failed at an Irish pub. Guy was totally blind to all his mistakes that where extremely obvious to both me and (at least some of) his staff. He was too busy living the dream of meeting patrons, hosting his friends, and singing for strangers to really see where he was going wrong from the business perspective. His business practices were just all over the place - no actual concrete plans. He seemed to have a "fun first, business second" attitude. When he closed he blamed it on "the market," guess he didn't notice that every other place on the same street was busier than ever.
