The line that really influenced my decision to purchase TMF when reading the first few chapters for free was this:
"The glory of the hard work was this: It didn't feel like work; in fact, I engaged it. I didn't have a job; I had a passion to make a difference"
Before I read TMF I always came from the perspective that the best way to make millions was to find a way to serve people through the activities you loved. Since reading TMF my perspective has to changed to "how can I meet the needs/solve problems of other people", there hasn't been much of a change except that now I'm completely disregarding my passion (what I love) to do from the equation.
In the book DeMarco says that you should use passion (I think he really meant motivation e.g. he was motivated by the lamborghini) to push you through the hard work of meeting people's needs. I'm very motivated (or maybe I'm really not?) but I just find it hard to do things like design my e-commerce website and work on attracting my target audience because I don't really enjoy the process. I feel as if I'm back in the classroom at times.
I feel that the best solution is to actually find a way to provide value through what I love to do which is to really interact and connect with people in person like when I was signing up clients for my first advertising campaign 2 months ago. But I can't think of a way to meet any needs through my passion plus it would make me selfish as I'd be chasing my passion rather than needs. I can follow my intuition and be lost or I can follow the TMF way and be unhappy.
Any suggestions?
