Can you profit from your passion no matter what it is? What if you aren’t sure what your passion really is and when you know it how do you make it profitable?
Defining Passion
Passion for me is when someone has a burning desire inside of them and they want to tell the world about it. When it comes to business it is something that they can imagine doing for a long time and won’t get tired of. Something that fulfills them and makes them happy.
According to the dictionary it is a powerful emotion, that is so spot on!
To me this passion is not related to money. Some say they are passionate about making money but I think that is more of a need and want. We want to make money and we are ready to work real hard at getting it. But is it your passion?
You can make money with almost anything, but when you are passionate about the subject it becomes so much easier.
Objections Holding You Back
“I really want to work with dogs, but….”
“I have a graphic artist degree but I don’t work with it, I’d like to but….”
“I love gardening, too bad my back is not what it should be. If only there was a way for me to work again…”
These are only a few of real objections I have heard. One of the most common ones is: “It’s too hard, I can’t make it work” What that is in reality is FEAR. You have to let go of that fear and start making positive changes. And it all starts with your mind.
You can be whatever you want to be. It doesn’t matter if there is too much competition, if all the paperwork is overwhelming or if money will be tight. You can make it happen. There are always solutions, they may be small but there are always possibilities available to you.
Making The Change
To all of the above objections and plenty more similar ones I have given advice. But my advice is worth nothing if you are not ready. You need to be open to change. You need to want to jump and just go with it. You can wait all you want for you to be ready, that readiness may never come. Instead you need to make an active decision and work it!
Taking the Step to Becoming a Passionate Entrepreneur and Change The World
I’m definitely no psychic but I can step into a room and sense the feeling of that room in a minute. I will know exactly what is going on, sadness, anger, happiness etc. Obviously over the net I can’t step into your living room and feel what is going on. So I need you to tell me. Tell me about the happiness, the sadness and how it effects your life and how you want to make the world a better place. And I will help you take the step into becoming a passionate Entrepreneur that will change the world.
I don’t want to just scratch the surface, for real change I want to know what is going on and send you on a journey that opens up your mind. A journey that change you and your life for the better.
Are you Ready To Work It?
There are a few ways you can bring forward your passion in business and make it profitable. For starters let me give you some tips;
- Take a good deep look inside and feel what you are passionate about. What do you like? What excites you?
- Write down any objections that come and put them aside
- Now focus on the positive side and decide on one thing you will do that will take you closer
- Forget about the “but(s)” Pretend they don’t exist.
- Go work it! Small steps will take you a long way. Think forward!
Two Other Ways To Bring Forward Your Passionate Side:
- Talk to me. My time is limited but I love what I do so I make time to talk to people who want to combine Passion and Profit. You can find information about my coaching here. (FYI this page is currently being updated) We will talk about you, your business, your business model and how you can improve it. Or how to get started if you don’t already have a business.
- OR you can go with me on an amazing journey that will change your life. The Your True Message Workshop is coming up and I promise you that it will bring forward your passion and you will get absolutely sure of what you want to do and how to profit from it. The Your True Message workshop is a 4 week workshop that will dig deep to bring out the best of you. Note: this will include some deep sensitive soul diggin – this is not your usual business workshop.
The details for Your True Message workshop is coming to a computer near you soon. Meanwhile if you want to make sure you get the details on this and a nice little discount (read big) then you should sign up to the newsletter list. Oh no, not another newsletter list that only sends me spam. Nope, that is not what it is. Actually what it is is a weekly letter with good solid advice on how to improve your business. I think you may actually like it.
Now tell me, are you passionate about your business or do feel something is missing? What are you doing to show the world you are passionate about what you do? What are your thoughts on being a passionate entrepreneur?
Linda, this was so good. I definitely have the passion – it’s just conquering those “big but’s” (pun intended, lol.) I love what you wrote, “Small steps will take you a long way.” Very encouraging post, thanks!
Glad you liked it Beth 🙂 I hope it inspires you to take action on small steps that will bring you forward and closer to your goal. Just work that passion and make it profitable!
Linda, I’m ready to work it! Great post reminding me of my true passion, and that my passion is a worthy business opportunity! Thanks for the encouragement.
You are so right that FEAR keeps people from moving forward! Also, isolation. Many people try to tackle doing what they’ve always wanted to do without the right guidance and coaching. It’s kind of like being the new kid at school – find someone who’s been there a while to show you where the food and restrooms are so you don’t starve wandering around trying to find em!
I totally agree with you passion is so important but if u’re not willing to work and put effort into the equation then your passion isn’t going to get you anywhere, it’s the combination of these two that will make you successful. thanks for a great post
It’s always struck me that being enthusiastic about what you do is likely to be central to your success.
Apart from anything else, there will be times when the going gets tough. This can be hard to get past, particularly if you’re doing something “for the money”, or “because you have to”. I’m not saying that passion is enough on its own, but it can certainly give you a massive boost.
Linda, nice article. It’s also important to point out that results don’t start flowing in over night. It takes time and directed effort to start drawing the required traffic to your site in order to start building the cash flow. So basically, don’t give up. It will come together.
I agree that you can and should profit from your passion if you have the drive to do so.
The only think I will say is that, whilst it is as simple as sitting down in your lounge with your laptop working away at your website or whatever you do, it’s important to remember that – just because you have the passion doesn’t mean it won’t be hard work – because it is.
Too many people give up quickly because they don’t see the results they want. From personal experience I think you have to make short, mid-term and long-term plans and goals, set yourself milestones and simply go for it.
