Ronn Torossian No Longer Branding Self As 'Married'
Just now we learn that Ronn Torossian, the insanely successful founder, President & CEO of 5W Public Relations, filed for divorce from his wife Zhana over the winter. "We urge celebs to tell the truth, good or bad," Torossian has said, and while he hasn't yet publicly spoken about the suit, and the ensuing whatnots, he hasn't exactly been circumspect about lifestyle factors that may have precipitated it. For instance, Ronn works hard. Maybe too hard! At 4:16 on a recent Friday evening, he shared some deep thoughts about working hard on his blog, Thoughts From Ronn Torossian.
So on this Friday night as I am about to leave the office a few random thoughts: 1 - For those who think business is about luck, for me its quite simple - The more hours I work, the luckier I become. There is no substitute for hard work. 2 - Exercise. I think the best entrepreneurs need to work out and sweat now and then... (I have just started a new workout routine which has me running 6 miles a day 4x a week...)... The sweat allows you to get out emotions which would otherwise be taken out at work... and gives you a chance to reflect (Of course I work out most days at 530 AM)... 3 - Travel is never fun for business... In the last few weeks I have been all over the world, generally on 24 hour intervals... and the cities all look the same for me because office buildings are the same all over the world... That's all folks.
Frequent absences! Compulsive exercise! Yes, things do seem thorny on Ronn's personal front. But as his most recent dispatch would seem to indicate, Ronn will continue to find solace in his work.
I LOVE MY JOB ! Have I said that lately ? Why ? Because today (and every day I meet great and amazing entrepreneurs).... Cant tell you more than that for today... but today was a great day and I wanted to share... and I don't think people can be great at their jobs if they don't love their jobs.... Passion is a price for success...
True enough, Ronn. But as we now know, when success is the priority, sometimes passion pays the price.
