People are different in that some people are better at achieving regardless of their feelings towards the goal (good example would be many straight A students), while other people struggle endlessly with a task unless their feelings are in line with the goal (e.g. some high school or university dropouts). I believe every entrepreneur has to be achievement oriented to some degree. However, being achievement oriented and not working on something you find interesting will always be the more difficult situation for everyone - you'll be constantly fighting upstream to some degree. It's possible, but not the ideal situation. Align your work in some way with your largest goals and you're bound to be happier and the chance of success is bound to be higher.
