Use Your Passion, Don’t Sell It – FA044

Audio

Our tangent-driven heros — one carrying a deadly illness (the sniffles) — bring you another exciting episode of The Foolish Adventure Show! Tim and Izzy share harrowing tales of people without passion, online business mayhem, and monsters that only eat the ambidextrous.  Okay, that last one is made up.

I’m still sick from when this show was recorded so I’m making this process of posting the show more fun, well…at least for me.

This one tries to answer what to do when you aren’t that passionate about anything or you don’t want to sell what you are passionate about.  Say you love golfing, but you don’t want to make a business out of it.  All you want to do is go golf eight days a week.

What if you could harness what makes you good at something and use that to make a living online?

Well, listen to the show and find out!

Enjoy your Foolish Adventure,

Tim “I has a cold” Conley

    Lots of good ideas, guys. Thinking back over some of my recent jobs, I realize now that what made me good at them was that I loved learning something new and then teaching it to others. I spent 14 years working for an engineering firm and ended up specializing in stormwater runoff. Coming from an arts/design background, stormwater wasn’t my first choice for a passion. But I became passionate about the research, writing, talking with clients, developing solutions, and training. The topic could have probably been anything.

    Exactly what we are talking about. Thanks for giving a great illustration.

    Great episode. From ‘career’ discussion with friends I think that passion for the process – teaching, marketing, research – is more important than passion for the subject – pools or cake decorating or …
    I think that a passionate teacher can teach an unfamillair subject better than a person who is passionate about the subject but not teaching – same with marketing, web design, sales etc

    well this is certainly food for thought! Works much better for me than the conventional wisdom…

    Having a great life especially as an entrepreneur means doing what works for you not what others tell you should work for you.
