The Top 2 Ways To Turning Your Passions Into Multiple Streams of Income
In Making a Living Without a Job, Barbara J. Winter described the idea of Multiple Profit Centers: “I think of creating profit centers,” she wrote, “as being akin to what a juggler does when spinning plates on top of sticks. The juggler walks out on the stage with ten sticks and ten plates but doesn’t begin spinning them all at once. Methodically, he or she positions the first plate on a stick and gets it into motion. Once done, the juggler moves on to the next, then the next, and so forth. Eventually, all ten of the plates are spinning away, each with its own momentum”
Creating multiple streams of income is key to sustain and secure your message. When one of the streams faces a hard time, others lift you up.
When it comes to creating multiple streams of income (or multiple profit centers as Barbara likes to call), people are divided into two groups: Read the Rest of This Article »
8 Reasons Passion Trumps Money Any Day of the Week
‘Should I go for something I am passionate about or go for the money?’ I hear people ask this question a lot when looking for a new direction in life. The truth is, if they had a passion already they wouldn’t be asking the question.
The good thing is it is never too late to discover your passion. I am passionate about quite a few things and lucky to be able to work in those areas. I found that whilst working in a particular area, say film, I could go for days without eating properly and wouldn’t notice. I could go for days without sleep and not notice because I had that extra supply of adrenalin energy you get from doing what you enjoy. How do you know if you’ve found your passion? If circumstance doesn’t dictate how often you do it or how long you stick to it and if you would do it regardless of pay, there’s a good chance this is what you should be doing!
If you are at a crossroads and have asked yourself the question of passion or money, I humbly recommend going for passion every time. Below are 8 reasons why: Read the Rest of This Article »

Hate Your Job? 3 Ways to Find a Better Job
What to do when you hate your job? You definitely can’t talk about it. Your spouse may commiserate with you but will ultimately tell you that you have to keep earning a living. Your friends will tell you to suck it up and to be happy you even have a job. And, of course, they are right. You’ve got to pay the bills and there are millions who are unemployed that would kill to have a job they hated. So what should you do? If you’re feeling particularly philosophical (or maybe nostalgic for early 80s pop music), you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?” Read the Rest of This Article »
Why People Can’t Overcome Their Fear of Failure
You probably agree that the #1 reason why people can’t pursue their passions is MONEY. It takes time to find a way through which your passion can replace the secured paycheck.
However, there is another equally important reason.
On the surface, you can call it the fear of failure!
However, there is a much deeper and critical aspect of your fear of failure, specially when it comes to pursuing your passion.
It doesn’t hurt that much when you fail to achieve an average goal that you’re not so emotionally attached to it.
But when it comes to your passion and what you’ve put your heart in, it looks like there is no comeback.

How Wanting Something with Your Whole Being Makes it a Reality
Desire is the bread and butter of success. If you don’t desire your goals enough, you won’t be able to muster the motivation to go after them, the courage to put yourself out there and you will not be able to tap into the enormous potential your desperation will let you access.
Everyone has dreams and goals in their lives. But most don’t believe that it is possible possible or don’t want them enough to care. To succeed you need to harness you dreams into an obsession, a burning desire that allows you to push yourself further then you every could without. Read the Rest of This Article »
How to Fan a Spark into a Fire

There’s a climactic moment in the movie Castaway where Tom Hanks, who has been shipwrecked on a desert island, finally creates the one thing that can provide him with a means for survival: FIRE.
The pure ecstasy that fills him as he dances around the beach, screaming like a kid who just won the big game, is palpable. Just when things were looking so grim, he found that one spark. Enough to fan into a raging fire. And that was enough to give him hope.
When people are passionate, we often say they have a “fire in the belly” or that they’re “firing on all cylinders.” Fire is full of energy and heat. It’s what we all want to feel inside—a sense of passion for what we do and what we stand for.
Unfortunately, it isn’t so easy to find. I often work with people to help them develop a career road map, and one of the biggest obstacles to success (both personally and professionally) is that they don’t have any idea what they’re passionate about. Read the Rest of This Article »

“I need money to survive.”
Wrong.
This is a survival mentality and a self-fulfilling prophecy. To the extent you believe this, you therefore become more and more desperate for money. You lose all sense of morality, character, and purpose because survival trumps all these things.
It’s a downward spiral. Read the Rest of This Article »
Change Takes Passion

It’s not enough to desire to change.
Even shutting your eyes, gritting your teeth and repeating “I will change, I WILL change, I WILL CHANGE” won’t do the trick.
Some people say “just make a decision” to change. And that sometimes works (If the surrounding psychological conditions are right).
But what if you don’t know the processes involved in making a change? (Yes, there are specific processes!) There are numerous change techniques available on the internet, and some, like EFT are very gentle. But if you want to make a quick, powerful, lasting change – you need something stronger than desire.
You need energy: an intense, powerful, lightening-bolt of energy. Read the Rest of This Article »
