It is almost 2 months now when I felt completely lost. It wasn’t just in my business, but in life itself. I’d wake up, go through the motions, and yet, deep inside, I feel like I was missing something. The spark was gone, and I found myself questioning everything I was doing. It felt like I was just treading water, living day by day with no passion, no drive, and no real excitement for the future. Life just seems stagnant and mundane.
In one of my lowest moments, feeling utterly down and unsure of my path, I did the only thing I knew I could—I prayed. I asked God to restore the passion in my life, to reignite that fire in me. I wanted my purpose back, both in life and in business.
And, as if He was just waiting for me to ask, the answer came. Slowly, I started to remember the things I loved—those activities that once made me feel alive. Dancing, fishing, traveling, gardening… but more than anything, building. Creating. I rediscovered my passion for building all sorts of things: customizing cars, setting up intricate aquascapes with hydroponics and automation, 3D printing, and inventing crazy contraptions that actually work. There’s something so fulfilling about bringing an idea to life and seeing it work just as you imagined.
To make sure I never lose sight of these passions again, I wrote them down on a piece of paper and stuck it on my wall, right where I can see it every day. These are the things that fill me with joy and purpose. I also wrote down my wife’s passion as well which are singing, painting, and cooking. Together, we’ve committed to doing more of these things, to keep the passion alive in both our personal lives and our marriage.
The Problem with Passion
But here’s the thing—having passion is one thing, but sustaining it is another. One of the biggest problems most people face is that while they may discover what they’re passionate about, they don’t know how to turn that passion into something sustainable. They get excited about it, but then reality sets in. Bills need to be paid, responsibilities pile up, and they don’t see a way to monetize their passion. So most people will just dabble in their passion when they had the time, but not as a full time venture.
Turning Passion into Profit 💰✨
The good news? It’s absolutely possible to monetize your passion, and in today’s world, there are so many business models that can help you do just that. Let’s look at some examples.
One of the best places to start is by creating content around your passion. You could start a YouTube channel and share your journey, your expertise, or your creations. Whether it’s DIY projects, cooking tutorials, or fitness routines, people are always looking for knowledge and inspiration.
You could also package your knowledge into ebooks or an online course. For example, if you’re passionate about customizing cars or aquascaping, you could teach others how to do it step-by-step. Russell Brunson’s Dotcom Secrets talks a lot about how to package your knowledge and sell it to others—whether through a course, an ebook, or even private coaching. People are willing to pay for expertise, especially when it saves them time, trial, and error.
You could create a community around your passion, where like-minded people come together and share their experiences. With a subscription model, you can monetize your passion while also helping others grow. Private communities or memberships can become a sustainable source of income while allowing you to engage with people who share your passion. More people, more fun isn’t it? 🙂
