It makes me think about it. Is there no such a thing as a passionate employee? What exactly the passionate employee means for us?

Does the passionate employee has to be someone, who’s working almost 24/7? Does the passionate employee has to be someone, who’s thinking about his work all the time, day or night?

I think’s not.

I think there is such a thing as the passionate employee. My definition of the passionate employee is simple: it’s someone, who feels that he’s part of the company, who loves what he’s doing, who believes that they are building something great together. Of course it’s extremely hard to find someone like that. But it is possible. And it’s worth to look for someone like that.

And what do you think about that? What the passionate employee means for you?

An author of great sentence about advertising.

“Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don’t know what half.”

So true. I have this feeling all the time, when I look at the bill for advertising or any other marketing services. Some of the costs that we have are cost-effective some of them are not. Some of the activities, for which we pay, positively affect the image of our brand, some of them are unnoticed. Unfortunately the trouble is that we never know which ones are which ones.
