Don't Follow Your Passion... ... Too Soon!

in #life6 years ago (edited)

My passion is inspiring people, helping them, coaching them to become better, get a better life or live happier in general.
I have waited to actually pursue this passion because I wanted to make sure I created some financial freedom first.
You may be wondering, why don't you start working as a coach and just follow your passion.

Here's why:

#1 Your passion today, may be a completely different passion 2-3 years from now. If you have to start up new business all the time you will never create any kind of wealth.
#2 If you HAVE to work, you won't find it as enjoyable as when you choose to work. Therefore your passion or hobby may turn into your nightmare.
#3 If your not in it for the money, you are in it for something else. People, service, leadership, adventure, or maybe the grind? This is usually a way bigger motivator to grow really big then money is. The problem with money is that, as soon as you have a little complacency sets in, being motivated to contribute to other people's life will keep you going forever because there is alway more people to help.

So what do you think? Create (some) financial freedom first, or start right away?

Keep in mind, I always upvote relevant and good comments ;)

Agreed. We should be financially strong first to follow our desires and passion.

Awesome :)

In my opinion all must be combined into one, optimistic about the work done help your surroundings with the love and material you have, and you get a priceless satisfaction, the key to do something sincerely.😂

Thanks Alial!

You are welcome😃

I never think it’s a good idea to just jump into anything. Every business needs to have some financial stability before diving into it . Without the financial backing or support you won’t be able to focus on what your goal is or on your passion. You will be too busy worrying about how you will be paying next months rent . Build up
Finances then jump into it .... or do it part time as you build up your finances .

I think we should try to be financially independent first, at least to a degree

That way we can express out passionately freely, make radical changes when needed and even make mistakes. But when it's linked to our source of income, we tend to be rigid.

Thanks for sharing

Financial freedom comes first. Set you self up to have no monetary worriesm if you do and your passion is still there then go for it, otherwise you may just set yourself up for failure.
