When you know how to profit from your passion, you're winning in life.
A lot of people have been sold the lie that you have to go to school, get a 9-to-5 job and make money to survive.
We are told that making money is more important than doing something that you're passionate about. This is far from true.
I have built a successful 7-figure business doing what I love. Imagine how it would feel to get paid for your hobby?
I'm going to show you how you can profit from your passion. Keep reading to discover how!

It is possible to turn your passion into profit.
However, society and our school system try to convince us otherwise. As a result, we end up living other people's lives and falling into careers that we hate. What do Walt Disney, Sam Walton, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, and Bill Gates have in common? Not one of them graduated from college when they “should have.” Success in life has zero correlation with your level of education. Let me give you an example to prove my point.
I didn't do well in school. I failed a lot of my classes. It's fair to say that I had zero motivation when it came to studying. The problem was that I never felt like I was learning valuable knowledge in the classroom. When I was 18 years old, I decided to work for my dad's construction business. My dad's goal was for me to take over the family business when he retired.
Even though it would have made him happy, it wouldn't have made me happy. I would have always felt like there was something missing in my life. I didn't want to live with a life of regret so I chose a different path from the one that my family wanted for me. That was one of the best decisions that I've ever made. Today, I have built a 7-figure online business doing what I love. I'm living my mission and I couldn't be happier.
Sometimes you've got to displease others and do what is best for you. Not everyone is going to understand your path in life, even the people who are closest to you. Everyone plays life cards differently, and your journey will never be the exact journey as someone else’s.
Pursue your dreams in spite of peoples' criticisms and judgments.
At the end of the day, it's your life, not theirs. I believe that when you're doing what you love, the money will follow. It won't feel like you've got to do work. Rather, it will feel like you get to do work. As Warren Buffett says, “You've got to tap dance to work every day.” This is why some of the most successful people never retire.
I believe that the Internet is the greatest opportunity of our lifetime. It has allowed anyone the ability to build a business and make money online. If entrepreneurship isn't for you, that's okay. However, if you want to be your own boss and create financial freedom, I encourage you to create an online business. Let's explore two key strategies for how to profit from your passion.
1. Become an expert in your industry
If you want to be an entrepreneur, you have to become an expert in your industry. It's about adopting what I call, the Mastery Mentality. The benefits of being an expert are far-reaching. Not only does it allow you to build your brand and make more money, but more importantly, you will be viewed as an authority figure.
This is what will set you apart from your competition. People buy from people whom they like and trust. Becoming great at anything requires that you go deep instead of just dabbling. Trust me when I say that, when you're passionate about something, going deep isn't hard.
2. Find opportunities that exist based on your passion
If you browse the Internet, you can type in a keyword for whatever your passion is. See what other people are doing in that industry. If there are websites and blogs online that are selling a product or service, you can be sure that that they are making money from it.
Don't reinvent the wheel. Instead, look at what is already working for people in your niche of interest and model their success. Make a list of 50 websites or YouTube channels that have an actual business and are profiting from their passion. Backward engineer it. What do they have in common with one another? This will help you determine the path that you should take based on your passion.
For example, let's say that you typed in “dogs” on Amazon.com. You will find that there are a lot of products associated with dogs. These are people who have built a brand around their passion and they are selling great products that they believe in. In some cases, they are making millions of dollars.
There is no reason why you can't create a profitable business doing the same thing.
You could sell a physical product on Amazon, write Kindle books, sell digital courses, do 1-on-1 coaching, and/or facilitate workshops for dog owners. A lot of people will pay more money for an in-person experience. When it comes to this niche, the most opportunity will revolve around solving the problems that currently exist.
The great thing about creating multiple streams of income is that once you've put in the hard work to set up these business models, you will start making money on autopilot.
Are you ready to profit from your passion and create a massive impact?
If you want to continue living in a comfort zone and doing what is easy and convenient, that's OK. However, if you're ready to live a purpose-driven life and do work that makes you come alive inside, I promise that there is no limit to the amount of money that you can make.
If you are ready to profit from your passion, I have a variety of free and paid resources that can help you jumpstart the process:
