Do what you love and success will follow, goes the popular saying. Any career coach or successful entrepreneur will tell you the same thing.
However, doing what you love is easier said than done. If it were easy, everyone would be super happy and successful!
The truth is most people don’t have the luxury to choose their economic paths. Maybe you really want to practice medicine, but the cost of medical school is out of your reach. Or you want to become an entrepreneur, but you have no money to fund your idea.
See what I mean? Getting paid for what you love doing is not that simple.
So, what does it really take to do what you love and get paid while at this business venture?
Embrace the Fact That Your Dream Could Take Time
There are lucky people who get to do what they love right from the moment they step into adulthood. Maybe they were born into a rich family, so they have no need to work for money.
But if you are anything like most people, you have to earn a living. This often means grabbing whatever work opportunity comes your way.
This is why you need to embrace the fact that your dream to earn a living doing what fires up your soul can take to materialize. As time goes by, your financial situation will improve, after which you will have the opportunity to do what you love.
Let’s say your passion is entrepreneurship. You need $30K to start the business, but you can’t raise that amount right now.
The right thing to do is to find a job and start saving towards your plan. You can even take out a personal loan when you have a job and start the business on the side. Once the business picks up well, you can quit your job and focus on doing what you love; being an entrepreneur.
Ensure What You Love Has an Economic Value
Doing what you love is the easy part. The hard part is to get paid doing it.
As such, it is vital to ensure that what you love doing will actually earn you money. If it won’t, you probably need to find another “love.”
The question is, how will you know that your passion will get you paid?
Start by doing online research. If there are people who are doing the same thing you want to do and are making a killing at it, you will find them on the web.
Consider this a positive sign. It means your passion has good potential to earn you money.
You could also gather opinions from friends and family. If they are willing to buy what you will be offering (or hire you), that is another good sign.
Once you start doing what you love, keep monitoring how you are performing. If it is a job, keep an eye on how your employer treats your position. If it is a business, keep an eye on how your target market is responding to your offerings.
Also, remember to monitor your income. You can use an online pay stubs creator, such as the one offered by ThePayStubs, to track how much you’re making.
