1. LOVING YOUR INCOME: The No-Nonsense
Guide to Making Money from What You Love
One of the biggest things I work with clients on is what I call “loving your
income”. In other words, I help them find a career that they’re passionate
about.
This isn’t new advice of course, but the difference is, I like to take it a step
further. In my mind, one of the biggest benefits of enjoying what you do is
often overlooked.
And that’s the idea that when you like what you do, you’re more likely to
dedicate yourself to it. You’ll push yourself further and inevitably do a better
job than in a profession where you’re just counting down the minutes until
you clock out.
Think about a Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. They didn’t start working with
computers to make money. They did it because they love technology. And
they enjoyed it so much that they pushed the field – and their careers – to
new limits.
For that reason, it doesn’t have to be a choice between a career that pays a
lot and a career you enjoy. You can have both. Many people do.
It’s a process I often guide my clients through. I can show you the way too.

2. FINDING YOUR PASSION
It all starts with figuring out what you love doing, enough so that you wouldn’t
mind making it a career.
This might be a no-brainer for some. But I find many of my clients have
trouble talking about what they’re really passionate about.
We’ve got to get to the root. Find what it is that gets you truly excited. But we
don’t stop there.
In many cases, we may even have to dig into the interest itself and discover
what really drives that passion.
MAKING MONEY FROM YOUR INTERESTS
The biggest excuse that people throw out is, “I can’t possibly make money
from this”.
But you’d be surprised. In today’s information age, many people are able
to make money in ways we couldn’t have dreamed about just 10 years ago.
Some of the highest paying careers are ones that are just newly created.
There is a way to turn your passions into a real, viable income, you just have
to think outside the box.
This is something I go more in depth with in my book, laying out many of the
possible options that exist for modern professionals and entrepreneurs.
They’re a lot easier than you might think.
LANDING YOUR DREAM JOB
Whatever your dream job is, it’s going to require some work. That could
mean formal schooling, selfstudy, practice, or the right connections.
The important part is researching the field and laying out a course of action.
What do you need to do next... and after that... and after that, to get to your
goal.
Research your chosen profession and map out your path from start to finish.

3. INCREASING YOUR INCOME
When you first break into your field of choice, the income may not be ideal.
That’s okay.
Because you’re not done yet. In fact, you’re only just beginning. You’ll be
using what you already learned to make more and more money in your field
of interest.
This doesn’t necessarily mean a promotion, like it would in a traditional
career. Your dream job may not have much room for advancement.
That doesn’t mean you can’t increase your income. I coach my clients on
using modern business ideas and strategies to help them make more
money, even in fields where it may not seem possible.
This could mean improving your marketing or creating a whole new income
stream, using a completely different business model. Don’t fall for the idea
that raises and promotions are the only way to take your career to the next
level.
TAKING ACTION
The difference between dreams and reality is action. You’ve got to go out,
put in the work, take the steps, and make it happen.
This is where many people falter. Whether it’s a fear of failure, a fear of
success, or just a lack of selfdiscipline, most of us never follow through with
our dreams.
That’s why I love what I do so much. My passion is helping others realize
theirs.
When you have someone holding you accountable, whether it’s a friend or
a spouse or a success coach, this can be just what we need to stay on track
and run the race to the finish. I touch base with my clients regularly to make
sure they’re doing what they’re supposed to.
If you’re really serious about creating the career you’ve always dreamed
about, you can find a more detailed look at the steps above in my book.
If you’ve been looking for a change, if you’re feeling stagnant or unhappy in
your current career, what do you have to lose?
