LOVE & MONEY: Turn Your Passion Into A Moneymaking Enterprise


Do What You Love & The Money Will Follow:
Most successful entrepreneurs say they started their business because of the interest & passion they had for the topic, rather than a way to 'get rich quick.'


As you contemplate launching your small business, make two lists:

The first should be a list of your interests and hobbies. Do you love sports, gardening, crafts, cooking, building projects, cars, etc.

The second list should be a rundown of the skills and talents you have.
Are you a good speaker, are you detail oriented, do people tell you that your baked goods are top-notch, are you great with kids or animals, etc.?

Examine your two lists and see where the ideas and concepts intersect.
~For example, if you love cars and you are detail oriented, would you enjoy running a car detailing service, or
~If you love baking bread, and consistently turn out good products, could you bake for a local catering company?
~You have a passion for animals--how about a doggie day care, dog/cat sitting service?
~You have extra rooms in your home and enjoy taking care of people--plus you live in a college town & there are never enough hotel rooms for special events: how about a bed & breakfast?
~You love sports and photography: why not take photos and create DVDs of local teams, golfers, bowlers, etc.?

You can do what you love and the money will follow, so rather than stress how and become obsessed about starting a business that will make you a mint this year, consider taking the time to start a business that you will really love working on and developing; if you love it, you will enjoy it every day and you will love watching it succeed.

You Can Turn Your Passion Into A Moneymaking Enterprise!
