How could you monetize your passion

We have been blessed with several years of so-called “recession” (Collective learning experience). It was and still is a great opportunity to think about what you really want in your life. Especially, if you had a job that you didn’t like.

I notice something with people that say “I have no idea about my passion! I just don’t know!”
It is that they often think that their passion is not right for them, not politically correct. They have been told or they convinced themselves that, for some reason, their passion isn’t right.
Therefore, they suppress it completely to the point that when they are asked about their passion.
They discard it and try to find something else.

Example of this:

He is 62 and he is convinced that he cannot be a surfer.
He is 16 from the ‘hood and convinced that he cannot be a pianist in a prestigious classical music orchestra.
She is a 38 years-old secretary in a large company, and she is convinced that she cannot run her own farm.
He is 52 years-old truck driver, and he is convinced that he cannot make it as a science fiction writer.

I could go on like this writing much more examples. Now, lets re-connect with your passion. When you were little what were you interested in?
What fascinated you?

Many of us, lost the passion in our childhood. It is easy to find out your passion. As Bashar (bashar.org) said in one of his transmissions the trick is to be passionate about passion itself.
When you are passionate about passion then it will be easy to stay motivated and go through your project with joy and enthusiasm.

You can make a living of all types of passion.

Collector-style of passion – If you are passionate about collecting stuffs (vinyls, DVDs, toy cars, …)
It is relatively easy to start to monetize this style of passion with a page on Ebay or a website. You can create content about the stuffs. Write an e-book for others passionate. You can have an online store. The trick is to take action NOW! and not tomorrow, next week. Act on your joy if the idea to monetize your passion crossed your mind then act NOW! Stand up and work!

Adventure-style passion – seduction artists, surfers, travellers, and so on…. the keyword here is “FUN”. The way to monetize this style of passion is obvious? You could be an instructor, a guide or an event organizer.
They are certainly more ways to monetize this style of passion. Act Now!

Creator-style passion – Musician, writer, painter, programmer, inventor and so on. If for example you want to get paid for your writing. 1 – start writing 2 – Search a publisher. Act now!

Helper-style passion – Healer, coach, teacher and so on. The principle is the same. If you are so passionate then you will certainly be able to monetize this passion.

In 2010 , people are wasting their time with all sort of activities such as :
Facebook
MSN, YIM and other chat programs
Watching online P0rn
Talking endlessly on cellphone
Ipad, Ipod and similar
Email
Television
Reading magazines

If you could reduce this time-waster list to zero and surrender yourself to your passion. 1 – You will be less focused on lack because you are finally doing something ! 2 – You will create new contacts and situations that will help you in your project.
3 – Doing what you love automatically and mechanically raise your vibrations. 4 – It is easier to be successful in life with higher vibrations than with lower vibrations.

Real world example:

Last June, I finally decided to abandon project-planning (Brian Tracy style “Eat THAT Frogs!” book) for a totally spontaneous style. I simply followed my highest joy. When I got ideas, I immediately executed them. I got interesting results, for instance, this blog had an average of 180 daily visitors in June. Now, it averages 330 daily visitors. I got the ideas to create guided meditation recordings. I had no ideas how to go about that. However, I acted on my highest joy and through synchronicity I attracted people who make this project possible.
