Abstract: Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruption in the workforce: many people lost their jobs due to economic conditions or chose to leave their jobs intentionally. Regardless, the pandemic provided an opportunity for many individuals to reflect and consider pursuing happiness by changing careers or following their dreams through new venture creation. Entrepreneurship literature has revealed that people may start a business out of opportunity or necessity, but more research is needed to explore how people can find happiness in pursuing entrepreneurial activities. This chapter conceptualizes how entrepreneurs can achieve personal growth and happiness by working with passion. It concludes by outlining the opportunities and challenges faced by entrepreneurs.
