I just read a Mark Cuban article posted on another topic (How To Get Rich « blog maverick) and it got me wondering, how do you find that field which you are passionate about and can throw yourself into?
MJ commented on another post I wrote on the subject of passion: "Once you find a passion for something generalized, then you will do *anything* for it; the latest episode of the Celebrity Apprentice, some stupid game on Facebook, or anything else, simply CANNOT compete."
Mark Cuban had a passion for the technology industry which is ripe with opportunity, MJ has a passion now for educating entrepreneurship. What I'm wondering is what to do if you don't have an intrinsically valuable passion (internet marketing, technology) and instead you're passionate about seemingly useless things that NO ONE will ever pay you for?
Or more specifically, are there any tips for 'generalizing' your passion? For instance, I love strategy. I enjoy strategy video games, strategy board games where you stand over a map and allocate resources, take territory, expand, etc. This seems like a generalized skill, but what are the steps to figure out how to apply such a generic passion to something profitable?
Hope my question is clear, I know I may sound like a broken record here...
