PASSION!

Melissa Barton was always writing and she wrote in her spare time at work. Her boss asked her to write a grievance one day to another business owner. He was amazed at how well she wrote the complaint even though he made changes to her original document.

She would write at her desk when she was not doing administrative assistant duties at the company she worked for at the time. One day her boss asked her what type of writing she was doing her response was, how to kill your boss in ten effortless ways and get away with murder.

He never asked her again to write anything.

Barton took a job just to have a paycheck, which was not her passion. It paid the bills but did not provide her with the satisfaction she was seeking in her craft.

A few months ago college graduates around the country were given speeches from influential speakers who told them “to follow their passions in life.”

You have to recognize two things. First, work and life are not initially separate; a career is ideally a way to profitably live out a person’s interests.

Second, you don’t just want to follow your passion; you also want to rally other people to follow their zeal and be on the lookout for people who can influence your talent and help you succeed in your fervent life’s work. Doing so is how you will get to do what you love for the rest of your life.

There are numerous ways to solve cash flow needs. Drive for Uber, Lyft, waitress, bartend, etc. You can set yourself apart if you have chosen to embark upon a personal project that demonstrates your passion and expertise.

Physician Anthony Varezoo had always had a keenness for wine. He loved wine and went to as many wine seminars as he could attend to learn everything.?Then he decided to buy into a winery with two other doctors. He eventually retired early from the medical field and worked full-time at the winery.

Varezoo grew grapes, handled the picking, the fermentation into alcohol, storing the wine in barrels, and bottling of the finished product. The enthusiasm for winemaking cost him his marriage but he did not care. He was following his passion.

If you love designing and using graphics, you can join thousands of groups that ask for independent graphic work for small and medium companies. You can gather a following based on your work and eventually keep a portfolio of work to show prospective clients who can hire you for real pay.

Jay Sedik was a street artist who painted old buildings with his unique art to spruce up his dilapidated neighborhood. It started because he was tired of looking at rundown buildings in his neighborhood then his art turned into a passion. Pretty soon people all over town were wondering who was this mysterious artist who only worked late at night on his new creations.

Sedik was found out when he entered an art competition at a gallery in a local big city and won first place. He was given prize money but the gallery was impressed with his ability and one of the judges offered him an assistant teaching position at a nearby college.

Sedik had a career and inspired new painters to spread their inspirations of art on buildings throughout other cities to display their work.

As one who pursues passionate motivation, your resume is not the only way to a dream career. You can share your passion with the world and the main reason you can set yourself apart from the crowd is you have the persuasive ability around the issues that matter to you.

When people pay attention to your passion, you are generating a voice of confidence. That ability alone is the way to persuade others to follow you.
