How did you find it?...

[CVentures1B12]

Hello fellow Fastlaners!

I have been snooping around and have found a ton of great tips, advice, etc. on doing what you love.

My question is this: How did YOU find what you loved? How did you KNOW that it was what you loved to do?

I don't think that I will have a problem monetizing it...I just have yet to figure it out! Sure, I really enjoy real estate. I enjoy the process, the search, the negotiation, the wealth of time that it can create...but when I think about it, I am just not sure that it is anything that I truly LOVE. I am not sure that has come along just yet or maybe it has, but my work ethic and rational mind has kicked in and kicked it to the curb. I have grown up working my entire life and really never done anything but go to school and work. I enjoy working and REALLY enjoy working for myself, but is it something that I truly LOVE? I am just not sure...and that, like relationships, should NOT be the case.

Just wanting some people to weigh in on the first half of the old adage, "Do what you love and the money will follow." I am not worried about the money part...I am just worried about doing what I love.

Have any of you felt this before you really got into what you are doing now? How did you figure out what it was that you loved? A partial identity crisis here...Help!

-Josh
