Should You Do What You Enjoy To Make Money Online?
(and outsource the things that are necessary but you don’t like to do – more on that later).
Oh, I can already hear the cries of “blasphemy!” coming from the peanut gallery.
Yes it’s true – some people will tell you to chase the money and forget about what you like. After all, business is business, right?
That depends on you.
If your number one motivation is money – if the sun rises and sets on money in your land …and if the sight of a dollar bills sends you into shivers of ecstasy – then yes, perhaps for you business is business. If money is your passion, if “buying stuff” is what drives everything you do, then in that case it really doesn’t matter what you do …because as long as you’re making money, you’ll be happy.
Do you identify with that personality? Can you be happy doing anything as long as you’re making boatloads of cash?
If not, then read on…
Most people like money, yes. But if they really examine why they do what they do, they may find that money isn’t the main motivator. “Buying stuff” may not be the main motivator either.
If you’re the type of person who thrives on good feelings when you help people, even if money isn’t involved, you may need to do more than chase the money. If you are really passionate about something (cars, quilts, whatever), then you may need to do more than chase the money. If a kind word from a customer or newsletter subscriber would really make your day – you may need to do more than chase the money.
Now before we get completely carried away, let me share with you the kicker…
Yes, I know you’re getting into business at least partly if not mainly to make money – after all, money buys freedom…the freedom to buy what you want, the freedom to make your own schedule, etc.
