			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I came across this video clip over the weekend and it&#8217;s a great illustration of harnessing your passion to fuel business success.   John Nese was able to take a childhood idea and turn it into a thriving niche retail business that empowered him to tell the giants of the industry (Coke and Pepsi) that he wasn&#8217;t interested in selling their products.  I almost felt like I was watching a scene from the movie &#8220;Being There&#8221; because Mr. Nese makes everything so easily understandable.  His passion is undeniable and it goes beyond just being a soda pop enthusiast.  Here are my takeaways from this great story:</p>
<p>1. Know your customer.</p>
<p>2. Know your product.</p>
<p>3. Know your market.</p>
<p>4. Maintain a clear vision and execute.</p>
