When Work Is Not ‘Work’

I absolutely love what I do for my living. For me work is not ‘work’. It is more like a hobby. It is not a chore – It is something I look forward to.

I work really long hours but don’t really feel the pain of working these long hours. I have absolutely no complaints about the long hours. If anything, I wish I could work for more hours.

A lot of people wrongly assume that making money online is easy. Only the people who are in this business know how much work it really involves.

Like in any business, it involves a lot of long nights, early starts – and only after all the hard yards we slowly start seeing the profits coming in.

Building any business involves a lot of hard work – not for a day or a week or a month but for many months. And this continued hard work is not possible unless you are passionate about what you do.

If you are not passionate about what you do for living, the long hours will soon become a chore and soon after that you will lose interest in continuing forward – And even if you do continue moving forward, your heart will not be in the work – and this will show in the quality of your output.

Finding what you are passionate about is not always easy – For some their hobby is their passion and these people can build a business around their hobby. For me, I was not particularly passionate about any of hobbies. I spent quite some time figuring out what I am really really passionate about. But no luck – Nothing came to me.

And so rather than wasting more time thinking and analyzing, I started out as a freelance software programmer. After a couple of hard months, I started doing quite well – the work kept me quite busy for more than 5 years. While I was still working in this business, I stumbled across internet marketing and slowly I started learning more about it – And within a year of my first encounter, I gave up my software business and started full time as an internet marketer.

So, what I am trying to say here is – if you don’t know what you are passionate about, and have already spent some time trying to figure out what it is you want to do, then don’t waste more time…Start your business today – It doesn’t have to be something you are absolutely passionate about – Just Start – Along the way, you will find your true passion.

I am so glad that 7 years after starting my first business, I now know what I am truly passionate about. And because of how passionate I am about what I do for my living, my work is not ‘work’ – It is so much fun !!!!
