How To Transform Your Passion Into Your Profit

Do what you love. You've heard it before and to many, it seems like a dream. Of course you want to do what you love, but - ahem - you have bills to pay, a family to support, and well, a life to live. You're busy, I get it. And yes, you have to be able to make money - super important. But with everyone from Elon Musk to Oprah saying that in fact doing what you love is the secret to success, how could that be wrong?

How To Make Money Doing What You Love - Turn Creativity into Productivity

You're a creative genius. You've got a million ideas of what you could do and want to do that you just know that if you could JUST get it out the right way, you would be rich. But...

How often has your creativity actually turned into distraction, frustration, and a soul sucking black hole?

Believe me, I get it. Being creative is harder than it looks. If not disciplined, it leaves you chasing irrelevant tangents, winding up in places far from the result you were originally going for. And for the entrepreneur who wants to make money and create success, creativity can leave you broke, confused, and depressed.

The truth is, in order to turn creativity into PRODUCTIVITY you have to actually give it a sense of order - to transform it from a reckless pursuit into a disciplined practice. And rather than feeling stifled, having a container in which you operate is the most freeing and purposeful way to reign in your random thoughts into productive wizardry.
