    Don't follow your passion: Schwarzenegger agrees with MJ.

    MINDSET 
    Look what I found in my email @MJ DeMarco hahaha Researchers examined happiness and well-being and discovered that one type of passion leads to joy, while the other creates stress and burnout.

    Here's even more reason for meaning over passion

    MINDSET 
    Even if one can manage to turn a profit following their passion, 1) they must do a whole lot of things that have little to do with the passion, at least in the beginning when it sucks the most (say, it's writing - then checking emails, doing admin, maintaining plugins etc may not be very fun and...

    How to decide your definite purpose?

    MINDSET 
    After emerging from an existential crisis, deep depression, months of endless neurosis and my Mum getting cancer (treatment is going well), my mentality is stronger than ever. I am so certain about my goals and why, and that I cannot bear to live a normal conventional life. I have a vision and...

    Following your passion isn't always bad

    MINDSET 
    When I first read the books by MJ I got the idea that doing business had to be hard and gruesome, that I had to hate what I was doing. After a few years I realized that I took that idea quite too literally. We all like some industries more than others, we all have passions in our daily lives...

    Did you put your passion on hold to focus on your business?

    MINDSET 
    I've read The Millionaire Fastlane and the Great Rat Race Escape, and one key point in these books is that you shouldn't turn your passion into a business if it doesn't respect the CENTS commandements. Today, I found and began implementing an idea that adheres to the CENTS commandements but is...

    To Passion or Not - Need Advice

    I’ve read the first two books and am midway through the Great Rat Race Escape. I know the previous books touched on the bad idea is it to follow ones “passion” but I was already into it by the time I was introduced to the books. My website (which is my passion) does provide value via content...

    Skills over passion?

    MINDSET 
    I've heard this advice at least a million times "FOLLOW YOUR PASSION" . While initially motivating, I found it highly deceiving and considered it as a diversion as to what I should actually be doing. It might hold it's own fan following, but following your passion is not always rewarding...

    Not passionate about a specific industrie, but passionate about making an Impact.

    MINDSET 
    I am at the idea-finding-stage. Since reading the book Unscripted, I see more and more opportunities. Some I get more excited about, others less. I found that the bigger the impact of those ideas, the more they would excite me and the more I become passionate about them. But also, the more...

    Argument for Doing A Passion-Based Business?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I know the general view on this forum is to not choose passion because passion does not mean having a market need. In a sense, choosing a passion based business is selfish. But I have been thinking a lot about this and actually think passion is 100% necessary. Everyone knows that when you...

    To go big, or to just get by for now?

    So a question to you all... For those that have "made it," was your first successful venture something you created just to get by - just to quit your day job? Or was it something that you started that you wanted to create a legacy? The thing that your life would be remembered for. For those...
