Linda, this is SOOOO TRUE! I saw a bumper sticker once that has stuck with me for over 30 years. It simply said "Do what you love, and the money will follow". Wisest words ever spoken.
I've always felt like I had to work to make a living, and I've given away so much of my time and knowledge of my passion. If I had been trying to make money off of it for all this time, I'd be a millionaire! Well, maybe now I'll get there!
I have two...no, actually three...passions. Two of them are the basis of my website, and it's been pretty well received for an out-of-season niche market. The third is the internet. I could spend all day online, because I'm a knowledge junkie.
So I put the three together, and made a formula that works for me:
passion + knowledge + a vehicle to deliver that knowledge to people who want it + accepting help from others who have been there + lots of hard work = success!
This post has inspired me! I'm so glad I found this forum! Some higher power must have led me here.
