I posted the following as a reply, but it's very true, at least for me.
When I turned "what I love" into a business (although very profitable) I ended up hating it with a "passion". Then, I ended up having a hard time getting out of it because I kept getting more and more business. Sounds weird, but getting more business was actually pissing me off because I had no passion or desire to do this business for everyone else.
But, working in the radio and TV industry, although I love it, my passion for it everyday was greater than my love for it. The passion I had for radio and TV drove me to kick a$$ and do it better each and every time. I never went to work a a day in my life. It was never a job, it was a lifestyle. There was never enough hours in the day. Entertaining people and giving them what they wanted was a greater satisfaction than just doing it because i loved it.
On the other hand, the "love" I turned into a business sure as hell made me feel like I was working everyday of my life. It always felt like a job, never felt like a lifestyle
