Do What You Love

Many times I listened to interviews with financial planners and spiritual teachers... and all of them suggested that you should find your life's PASSION. Do what it is that you love the most, and income will follow. To tell you the truth, at that moment I didn't know what my passion was hehehe... So I began to put a list inside my head (mostly I listened to these interviews while I was driving), of all the things I enjoyed doing so far. I wasn't sure how these stuffs can help making income coming to my pocket, but I listed them anyways. So here's my list:

• I love reading books
• I love to sing (I actually sang in church choirs)
• I love music
• I love writing (my obsession since teenager was to publish a romance novel) :p

So, is it really possible to make income flowing from your dreams, your hobbies, or the things that you love to do? Yes, it is certainly possible :) Have I done it yet? Mmm... that depends, many times I got this 'thank you money' after I sang in a wedding at church... that kinda counts, right? :p 

Anyways, here are some important tips from Marcia Wieder of the things you should do to monetize your dreams and hobbies:

• Do what you love
• Value your gifts
• Charge what you're worth
• Have a powerful enrollment conversation
• Repeat these steps often 

How is it to have a powerful enrollment conversation?
Develop the ability to talk to anyone, any time, any place about your dreams, vision, project, service or business in a way that will inspire them to hire you, even potentially invest in you. 

In a enrollment conversation, you should:

• explore all possibilities --> don't say that this person is not suitable to help you/to invest in your business until you ASK them. And if they say no, have the courage to ask them why. 
• be highly intentional
• let every conversation counts
