Week 38. 3 Simply Profitable Ways to Start Doing What You Love

Hello again friends, this is a topic that has been on my mind a lot recently. We live in a world of opportunity yet I see so many people unfilled in the opportunities they choose. I write to inspire thought creation. Maybe one of you reading this today will find the questions you need to ask yourself to find the answers you seek.

Let’s talk about something everyone dreams of—**doing what you love** and getting paid for it. Sounds like a fantasy, right? Well, it's more possible than you think. The trick is finding that sweet spot where what you're good at, what the world needs, what you can be paid for, and what you enjoy doing all overlap.

Step 1: Find What You Love by Answering These 4 Key Questions

Before we dive into the specifics of making money, you must first identify what you love—something that will drive you daily. To do this, reflect on these four simple but powerful questions:

1. What are you good at?

- What are the things people come to you for advice on? What skills come naturally to you? These are your strengths, the foundation of your potential success. Whether it’s numbers, creativity, writing, sales, or something else, take stock of what you do better than most people.

2. What does the world need?

- This is the problem-solving side of things. Is there a gap in the market? Are people struggling to find solutions to specific problems that you can fix? Think beyond yourself and consider what others truly need—there's opportunity to solve real-world problems.

3. What can you be paid for?

- Passion projects are great, but we all have bills to pay. The good news is, there are ways to monetize just about any skill or interest. The key is identifying how your passion translates into something people are willing to invest in, whether it’s through a service, a product, or expertise.

4. What do you enjoy doing?

- This is the kicker. If you don’t enjoy the process of the work, even the greatest payday won’t keep you motivated in the long run. Find something that keeps you excited, something that makes Monday mornings a bit less dreadful.

When you align your skills, the world's needs, what you can be paid for, and what you enjoy doing, you're on the right path toward doing what you love—and getting paid for it. Now, let's explore three profitable ways to turn this alignment into a money-making machine.

What I Reccomend

1. Learn to Trade: Buy Low, Sell High, and Make It Count

Trading is one of the fastest ways to start building wealth if done right. It’s as straightforward as the age-old concept: buy something when it’s cheap and sell it when the price goes up.

However, don’t be fooled by its simplicity. It’s a skill that requires knowledge and strategy, but if you’re someone who enjoys numbers, trends, or even risk-taking, this could be your calling. Rather than burning time learning everything the hard way, invest in a mentor. My friend Lars Raymond has mastered this game—pay him to show you the ropes, and you’ll skip years of trial and error.

Pro tip: Trading doesn’t have to mean stocks—there’s real estate, cryptocurrencies, even collectible markets like sneakers and art. Find what interests you, and dive deep.

2. Learn to Sell: The Most Universal Skill for Guaranteed Income

There’s a reason people say sales is a recession-proof skill. If you know how to sell, you’ll never struggle to make money again. But here's the beauty of selling: you don’t need to be an extrovert, and you don’t need to develop a new product or manage a huge team.

Start simple—find a product or service that people already want, then focus on learning how to sell it better than anyone else. This can be anything from affiliate marketing to becoming a distributor for a brand you believe in. Once you master the art of presenting value, you’re golden.

If you’re serious about developing this skill, James Galligan can teach you how to become a top-tier closer. The beauty of selling is that it applies everywhere—whether you’re pitching a product, yourself, or an idea, you need to know how to do it right.

Bonus: Sales is a skill you’ll use in every aspect of life. The confidence you’ll gain is worth its weight in gold.

3. Learn Digital Marketing & Launch an Online Offer

If you’ve dabbled in content creation, social media, or marketing, this is your playground. Digital marketing is a huge field, but if you can specialize in just one niche skill, you’ll be in high demand. Maybe it’s Facebook ads, content creation, or LinkedIn marketing—whatever it is, get really good at it.

Here’s a step-by-step formula to make it work:

Step 1: Invest in a Niche Skill

Pick one thing and go all-in. The quickest way to fast-track your success is by paying for expert guidance. Don’t waste time trying to figure everything out yourself—someone has already cracked the code. Pay them to show you the way.

Step 2: Get a Sales Coach or Mentor

Being great at marketing is half the battle—being able to sell what you do is the other half. Once you can sell your service or product, you can begin to scale. Start small, but always keep your eyes on outsource opportunities. You’ll eventually want to teach others to replicate your success, freeing you to focus on even bigger projects.

Pro tip: If you don’t want to run a business, you can still use these skills to freelance, offering your services to others and building a strong income stream on your own terms.

Closing Bell: Align Passion with Profit

Whether it’s trading, selling, or digital marketing, the most important thing is to start. The longer you wait, the more time you lose that could be spent building something meaningful—and profitable. Remember, it’s not about working harder; it’s about working smarter by leveraging what you love and what you’re naturally good at.

So, take a moment to reflect on what lights you up, what problems you can solve, and how you can turn that into income. Then, find a mentor, invest in learning, and start doing what you love while getting paid for it.
