I'm not sure I agree with the last bit- can you be good at a business if you have absolutely no passion or skill with the material? If all you bring to the table is business skill, can you beat out the guy who has business skill and is also really passionate about dry cleaning technology? I've always been obsessed with power optimization & energy efficiency. I'm endlessly motivated to chase it, through all the drudgery and boring crap. But I have no interest in mixed drinks. I can't help but think I'd make a better home efficiency contractor than bar owner. Locally, one of our most successful new bars was founded by a career bartender who loves the scene, the drinks, the kitsch. He & his compatriots identified & filled a nightlife niche that few could have.
