Business Questions

[Gentleman]

Ive always wanted to be my own boss and I wanted to know what is the best way to get off my feet Ive got my wholesale license and I'm starting a web designer search as we speak. What is a good way to find your core passion or strategy to get started because I am stuck, when it comes to what I want to start my career as.

Although most of us have a clear passion for something, I think for some the passion comes later in life. One thing for certain, if you have the entrepreneur blood in you, you have a passion to succeed!

The important thing is start something and let it evolve, let it find your true passion. Time is money, you can waste it waiting or you can waste it doing.

Well I have mixed comments on finding your passion and marrying it to your business.

I started a business which I thought was my passion and it drove me into the ground. Now I do something that makes money and I get to enjoy my passion in my free time, yet I'm still in the industry.

So my advice is to find something that is related to your passion but makes money. For example:

If you love painting you might find it hard to sell your art, but if you start a business selling other people's art, then you're still in the industry of art but you're doing something where you can make some money.

Another example:

If you love dogs. You won't get rich as a dog trainer or groomer, but if you create some products that are related, for example teaching others how to groom their dog or train their dog, then you have a better chance of making a lot of money.

I guess it also depends on your financial goals as well.
