Four Ways to Fuel Your Passion

If you want to take that quantum leap towards achieving your goals, a great way to do so is to fuel your passion. Passion is what separates champions from the rest of the field, and can keep you going for the long term. Passion is what drives you to get you closer to your goals. If you’re about to undertake a major goal, make sure you follow these four things that will help fuel your passion.

1) Passion should be tied to ownership. If you’re going to achieve a goal, make sure it’s your own goal, and not somebody else’s. Otherwise, you won’t feel like doing whatever it takes to get to that goal. However, if it’s the goal you set for yourself, you will feel more compelled to reach your goals.

2) Passion is fuelled when you take accountability for reaching your goals. Shared goals take people further than goals that are unshared. Make sure you have a mentor who shares your goals. Your mentor will have your best interest in heart and will invest the time to hold you accountable to your goal. For a mastermind group, and brainstorm ideas on how you can get closer to your goal.

3) You will feel the driving passion if your goal is noble or significant. In other words, people will feel more passionate if their goal will affect other people in a positive way. In addition, they will feel more passionate if by achieving their goals, they will help others directly or indirectly reach their goals. These people will be driven by purpose.

4) Passion is fuelled by fun. People sometimes forget that it’s OK to have fun while reaching your goals. We often feel stressed and under pressure to reach and achieve goals. However, take the pressure off and enjoy the tasks at hand that will get you to your goal. Why do the work if you’re not having fun in the first place? It should be enjoyable, and if you’re having fun while you’re working, you’ll continue to fuel that passion and get closer to your goal.

Where to print a book Where to print a book - [quote:39vg8s93]So, writing a chapter a day, I finished in a month, and Kidpreneur: Genius Ways for Kids to Pay For College was born. Currently my book is self published -- I just printed up 100 copies to give to all the people featured in the book, teachers, and some more to sell at $20.00 a piece (it costs $10.00 a copy at Kinko's, so it's not really an outrageous price). [/quote:39vg8s93] If at all possible, you need to stop using Kinko's now and go price some real printers. It should cost only a couple of dollars a piece, if that, to print your book. Admittedly you'll have to buy in bulk, but the overall savings - selling a $2 book for $20 so that you make an $18 profit instead of a measley $10.... is something every kidpreneur should think about!
Re: On taking Action Re: On taking Action - [quote="jvprosperity":1hd0zjku]I was surprised to not see the words along the lines of taking deliberate action within the article. Do yo think it's an important part of the 6 points Evan summarized from the article or is it implied?[/quote:1hd0zjku] Hi Andy, I think taking deliberate action is implied in the six points. For instance, I interpret them as follows: 1. Set your sights on where you’re going - Write your goals down on paper. 2. Educate yourself - Read everyday about your field and even take courses on it. 3. Passion pays off - Enjoy what you're doing. 4. Grow your money - Invest your money. 5. No guts, no glory - Go out and sell your product/service/self everyday as if it were last. 6. The Biggest Secret? Stop spending. - Put aside as much money as you can into savings your account/retirement fund.
Revenue Streams for Websites Revenue Streams for Websites - Too funny, I was just reading a book: Multiple Streams of Internet Income: How Ordinary People make extraordinary money on line, by Robert G. Allen. 2001 That's a misnomer, though - they're not ordinary people, they're people with established careers who can take their expertise and exploit it on the web. Ways to generate income? 1) Sell your own material on the site. Ebooks, etc. 2) Join various affiliate programs that match what your website is about. 3) Google adsense - All my money comes from this... it's started out slow but as readership of my sites grown, the income has grown. Nothing to write home about yet... 4) Google adwords - the advertisers whose ads show up on Google Adsense. Unless you're selling big ticket items on your site you don't want to use it, your keywords can cost from 20 cents upwards.
