Turn Your Passion to Profit

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” People start in business doing what they love and end up dreading what they do. The Reason? They are not following a strategy.

I first had the blinding flash of realizing that I needed to follow a plan about 10 years ago, AFTER I started my own business. We bought a swing set/ tree house from the local lumber yard. They basically delivered a tree, with instructions on how to cut it and put it together. I am NOT a handy guy, but I followed the directions step by step and built a solid swing set/ tree house that is still standing today.

Once it was built, I was very proud of myself. I then realized that I just followed directions. If I could do that with something I am completely uncomfortable with, then I know I can do it with something I love to do!

That is the moment I turned my passion into profit!

Honestly, I was seriously considering it.
