I love it! If you only do it for the money, you’ll lose your passion. Passion is what drives an entrepreneur.
The Cubicle Chick says
I totally concur. Passion in what you do is everything. 🙂
lisa says
This is great. What’s the point of doing something if you’re not passionate about it? The more you enjoy something, the better it will be.
The Cubicle Chick says
Lisa, I am totally in agreement with you. But there are many people focused more on money than passion. I am glad that I found a happy medium between the two and have been able to monetize my passion and purpose.
Dogvills says
This is a great list. You right about just doing it for the money. You have to have passion and love, otherwise you will just get bored and end up unhappy with what you do.
The Cubicle Chick says
Amen! I can see your passion is dogs! 🙂
Kathy says
What a wonderful post. Lots of great information here too. I think more people need to start doing what they love. We should all be doing what we’re passionate about.
The Cubicle Chick says
I totally agree with you, Kathy!
Christy Garrett says
I stepped out of my comfort zone 4 years ago. I was laid off from my job bc of my back. I could no longer do certain tasks. I love the freedom blogging has brought but in the beginning money can be far apart.

Such a great infographic! I couldn’t agree more with all of these especially “Taking Action’. Nothing’s going to happen if you’ll just sit down and wait. 🙂
Samantha Thayer says
Thanks Lynndee! 🙂
Aly Mashrah says
I love these tips! I honestly have no idea what my strengths are or what I’m passionate about. I think it would be easier if I could figure that out because I’m all about doing what you love vs doing it for the money. Loved these ideas.
