Do What You -Love- What You Do

What do you love? Is gardening, cooking, or sewing your joy? How about rock-climbing or driving? What do you love doing?

I hate to hear people say that you cannot get paid doing x or y thing. You can get paid to do anything. Income is not the issue. Passion and dedication usually are. When I'm speaking at corporate meetings, the first thing I ask the employees is if they are doing what they love. Those who say no are usually the least effective at their jobs because there are always going to be times when jobs seem tedious, even when you love it. However, when you love it, you get that extra push to keep you faithful and dedicated. When you do not love it, those tedious days will drain you of creativity and dedication.

There are three ways to make money at your passion:

1) Do/Make it and sell it (self-employed)

2) Teach others to do/make it and sell it in a book and/or seminars (people employed)

3) Work for a company that specializes in what you love (employed by company)

How you do it is up to you, but don't let your options pass you by.
