3. One of the greatest gifts in life is being
able to share your passion with others
in a way they truly appreciate it.
4. Not just accept it, or acknowledge it,
but appreciate it in their own way.
5. A great way to do this is by expressing
it through your business somehow.
6. Now, in some cases this pretty easy
and straightforward.
7. If you love programming and you get
paid lots of cash for programming,
then you're work IS your passion.
8. Other times the connection is a bit
more subtle, but it's still there.
9. For example, you might love speaking
persuasively and convincingly in front
of groups, so you make a decent living
selling products and services that you
may not use yourself, but you know
serve a real need.
10. It can certainly feel empty when you
feel zero passion for your job.
11. Like you're just going through the
motions in order to collect a paycheck.
12. To be sure, a passion filled job is NOT
the norm for most people, but it is
certainly a goal.
13. That's why KNOWING what your
passions are is a very important first
step.
14. Next is to find any way possible you
can express them on the job.
15. For example, when I was in high
school, I worked at a movie theater.
16. I did a lot of jobs, usher, taking tickets,
selling tickets, selling popcorn.
18. It was busy, we had to do quick
calculations in our heads (our boss
thought cash registers would slow us
down) and we got to interact with a
huge cross section of the population.
19. It was nice seeing people who were
happy, as they were about to see a
good movie, while enjoying some junk
food.
20. I've had plenty other jobs that made a
LOT more money, but were incredibly
boring, tedious and sometimes
stressful.
21. The key is to take whatever you're
doing NOW, and find SOMETHING
about it you like, or at least don't hate
so much.
22. Since most humans need money to
survive, we generally need to have
some kind of occupation most of our
lives.
23. The ideal progression is to keep finding
better and higher paying jobs that
allow for a more direct expression of
our passions.
24. Until you get to that magic sweet spot
where your fully passionate, absolutely
LOVE your work (whether you're
working on your own or for a huge
company) AND getting paid a TON.
25. If you keep focusing on that ideal
future, while always looking for ways
to improve, you simply WILL NOT fail.
