Do What You Want To Do

17 replies
There a ton of different business models you can follow, so it's important to choose one that fits with your personality and
your goals in life.
I love online marketing but there ae certain business models that I will not do.

For example, I'm not a big fan of SEO, I'm not interested in spamming my email subscribers with affiliate offers, and I don't like managing a lot of people.

Now as the years go by your interests may change and you might want to try different ventures, but when you're starting out you need to find that one business model that resonates with you, and you must see it through until you're successful.

Personally I enjoy, creating my own products, providing 1-on-1 coaching, and just sharing free content to help people start or improve their online businesses.

Maybe you want to be a master affiliate marketer, or maybe you want to be an expert copywriter.

Find a business model that you like, make sure it is proven and profitable, then stick with it until you reach a reasonable income such as $50-$100 a day.

From there you can scale up your current business or start a new business.

    I agree! Most will tell you to do what is working, but the happiness is always in what you like to do, rather... More you focus, more you have chance to become an expert in your field ^o^

      Exactly. We should all strive to be great at whatever we do, and if we choose something we don't like it will be very difficult to become great at it. Therefore, it would only make sense to pursue the things that we're naturally attracted to, and the things that we would enjoy even if we weren't getting paid. Every job/business model will have some aspects of it that aren't as fun as others but, I'd rather do something that I enjoy 80% of the time as opposed to doing something I enjoy 0% of the time.

    Although I have an aversion to the moneymaking field, you got it nailed Trey. Doing what you like grows you habits that will serve you for life.

      Yeah I believe life is way too short to spend it doing something that makes you unhappy. We live in world of so much opportunity, it is possible to start a career around your passion and turn it into a highly successful business. It just takes extreme focus and dedication. If you love what you do it's not hard to stay focused and dedicated.

    Absolutely.

    You ever read a blog, and you can just tell right off the bat that this person was born to do the thing they're writing about?

    That kind of passion shows through. It can't be faked. It leads you to push barriers and stay up all night working without a single complaint.

    What would you do each day if you didn't have to worry about money? Now find a way to make money by doing that thing.

      Yes, we have to go back to when we were little kids and we knew exactly what we wanted to do. For me it was basketball. I wasn't able to go to the pros, but I was able to take my skills and experience and help others develop their skills through content marketing online.

      I enjoy doing it because I enjoy the sport. So, it's important to find something you love and figure out how you can monetize it.

    Why not use hypnosis to alter space and time to get what you want. With the power of thought you can break the time barrier and the continuum to alter reality. You have to go through multiple (and I say multiple) sessions and believe that it's already happening...

      Sounds interesting. Don't have a lot of experience with hypnosis, but I guess you can't knock it until you try it.

    Truly, I love doing what I do. It is the best thing that one can ever have. This is because every-time I do something that I want or prefer to, I give it totally passion and concentration. In so doing, I will be able to give an outcome that is the best. In this life, the best thing you can ever do is the one you are not forced to. For my case, I love being a software developer, just being in a position where am getting the inner drive to do this tasks. I therefore want my work to revolve around software development so as to maximize my potential.

    sometimes we do things that dont make us happy not because we want to but because we want the money.we will do it having a target that someday we shall get out and do what we love but time catches up with us. you find yourself doing what you dont love for the rest of your life. This is because you waited too long for that opportunity to present itself to you. you forgot that nothing comes in a silver platter. You have to create the opportunity yourself or else you will living fulfilling others peoples dreams. I am glad that i know this and what I am gonna do is rise up and act. All the best guys as you find your passion.

    I agree 100% , it's all about choosing a business model that you enjoy, and sticking to it. Most of the time it won't work right from the start, so you have to be persistent, but the most you master this method, the higher your income will be. Top professionals in the industry always make way more money then the average ones.

    People have problem when you ask them... Do you you really want what you do?

    Most of them do things that some tell them or they see on TV. And if you ask them... are you happy with that, they will say you No, or probably don't know!

    That's why we need to learn how to think, so we can be sure that we can do ''what we want to do''!

    I agree. The only problem comes when doing what you love to do results in long range money rather than "I have to pay my electric bill next month" money.

    "Find a business model that you like, make sure it is proven and profitable, then stick with it until you reach a reasonable income such as $50-$100 a day."

    This is really good advice Trey has offered. It may take a little while to figure out what you like to do, and can make money with, but once you have done that you are only limited by your effort. It really never seems like work at that point.

    now i am planning to get into growing gourmet mushroom ..high drying them and distributing them around the country ..it just right now i'm working to save the money to start ..

    that the first in a nest of business that can be built from that //

    mushrooms isn't the love itself even though i put mushrooms in everything i cook ,,but there is figure out the best system i like to use to grow them..getting yields to a certain level then increaseing qualitly/flavor/value ..

    and as far as growing food goes it can be done in a small area ..and once you know what you are doing can move and set up in a new location and be producing again in a short time ..

    the what you love to do is important..but many time what you love may not convert into a business..but there are things you love about what you do that draw you in ..that can be found in other areas with business potential..

    i use to be a heavy gamer ..at times i could play 10-16 hours a day many days.. so i had to break down what drew me in and why .. alsi i looked at what got me to work hard when i was employed what i liked about the work i did even if i hated the jobs ..

    it actually took me a few years to find something that fit ..well someting I hope fits ,,

    Doing what attracts your interest is very important because it is inevitable that you will try harder and have more success from doing something that you like rather something that is solely more practical.
