Three Questions Revisited
If you don’t know what you like to do, or you lack the vision or ability to see yourself advancing from your current position, don’t get discouraged. That’s a common problem that you can solve, and here’s how to solve it. Go back again to the three questions in Chapter 5 in the section titled, “A Passion for What You Do.” Follow the instructions and list your answers. If you have already done this, try it again. Your answers will give you insight into what you are the most passionate about. Find something you can focus on that will make you money.
If you think you can’t make money doing what you love, you might be right. If nothing else, you could write a book about it. As I said, if you are passionate enough about your work, you will be the best at it and people will want to be a part of your world. If you are passionate about painting, then focus your time and energy on being the best painter you can be. A high school student asked me recently if I thought he should get a real job or continue pursuing his real love, which was painting in oils. I said both, but I also said that he should focus most of his attention on painting. People love art and are often willing to pay big money for it. Several friends of mine are now professional artists. They took the hobby they were the most passionate about and made it into a business. One of them travels the world and sells his paintings to people in many different countries. One of his paintings recently sold in an auction for over $2,500! His wife manages his business affairs and schedules his appearances. What a great idea. No matter what your passion is, find a way to make money doing it.
