Are You Passionate?

I read an article on Oprah and Sir Richard Branson. The article compared these two media powerhouses and discussed how they turned their passions into profits. Not everyone gets to turn their passion into profit, but it is a beautiful thing when this does happen.

What’s the trick?

Oprah and Sir Richard Branson don’t take no for an answer. They know who they are, what they want, and they don’t ‘BS’ people. They are direct and they know what they are talking about. This commands a certain respect from the get go.

If you want to turn your passion into profit, vocalize it. Don’t self-doubt or waver in opinion. Know that there is no alternative and your passion to profit plan is a make or break scenario. There is no plan b. Plus, confidence is a major part of why they are successful and you can be too.

Tonight I want you to think about your passion. Are you willing to walk away from everything you have now to follow it? Even if you don’t make any money for five years? Maybe even twenty years? If you said no, you’re not as passionate as you think.

Your passions can be turned into profits, you just have to want it bad enough and command the respect of others who can help get you to where you need to be in life.
