How Can I Become a "Passionpreneur"
...And answers to other frequently asked questions...   
By Walt F.J. Goodridge

«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»

Before we get started, I need to share with you a somewhat 
depressing fact:
"It is impossible to raise your standard of living working a job!"

Or let me put it this way: It's impossible to make the sort of 
money you are ultimately capable of making at a job because, even if he 
or she wanted to, no employer can, or will ever pay you what you're 
worth.

Now don't get me wrong, it IS possible to make more money at a 
job. You can beg for a raise every year, work more hours, or go on a 
constant quest for the next higher paying position in an effort to 
improve your life, but conditions will invariably only improve slightly. The 
only way to really raise your standard of living is to leverage your 
talents, your gifts, your interests and your hobbies to create a product 
or service that you can sell to increasing numbers of people and free 
yourself from the cycle of trading time for money.

But I know what you're thinking: "I don't have anything unique about me 
that I can use to start a business." To dispel that notion, I'll ask 
you to think about this: Everything in nature has been endowed with what 
it needs to survive. There is no living thing that isn't inherently 
equipped with the skills and abilities it needs to secure its continued 
existence. Whether through instinct, size, camouflage or speed, no 
gazelle, lion or giraffe has to go to trade school to learn how to survive. 
That's the beauty of the divine plan. We, as humans, are part of this 
plan and therefore, each one of us is given something that sets us apart 
from everyone else; something that we can use to ensure our own 
survival. Before industrialization sent hoards of us to the cities to work on 
assembly lines in factories, we all used something we did or owned to 
exchange for the things we couldn't do or didn't own. Experts say that 
before the Industrial Revolution, 80% of us where entrepreneurs. E!
veryone has unique, extraordinary potential.

Unfortunately, because we now live in a capitalistic society, we rarely 
have a chance to be rewarded for the extraordinary potential we bring 
to the universe. Instead, as employees, we are rewarded for the lowest 
common denominator--something we share with just about everybody else; 
our time and our presence. Think about it. In your job, you're paid 
simply for showing up to a position for a certain number of hours to do a 
job which somebody else could just as easily do; It's this 
replaceability that ensures that big business--which competes on price--can stay in 
business. If people were compensated based on the real value of their 
skills and talents, big business couldn't survive.

So how do you move beyond the limitations of a job? Well you need to 
become what I call a "Passionpreneur" and turn your passion into profit! 
"Passionpreneur" is a word I created to describe someone who has used 
his or her passion as the basis of a passion-centered business.

WHAT IS A PASSION?
First, I'll say what a passion is NOT. A passion is also NOT someone 
else’s idea of what you should be doing. Even though you can and will use 
other people’s observations about your talents and strengths in 
figuring out your passion, the final choice should be something that you 
decide is important to you. "My dad thinks I'd make a great doctor" is not a 
valid reason to pursue that profession. A passion cannot be an 
obligation or someone else’s vision for you. It must be yours and yours alone. 
I've created an acronym L.I.F.E. P.A.S.S.I.O.N to give a quick overview 
of some of the qualities of a passion.
L-love Your passion is something you love to do. 
I-interest Your passion is something that interests you. 
F-fulfilling Your passion gives you a sense of fulfillment. 
E-empowering Your passion usually empowers and energizes you. 
P-personal Your passion has personal significance to you and you alone. 
A-abilities Your passion capitalizes on your assets, attributes and 
abilities. 
S-service Your passion will usually provide a service or fulfill a 
need. 
S-spiritual Your passion and its pursuit represents an area of 
spiritual growth. 
I-inspiring Your passion is inspiring to you and therefore will inspire 
others too. 
O-obvious Your passion, once found, is usually something obvious to 
you. 
N-natural Your passion is often unstudied and comes naturally to you. 


WHAT'S A PASSION-CENTERED BUSINESS?
Your passion-centered business is not just any entrepreneurial business 
idea that makes you money. There’s a big difference between turning 
your passion into profit, and simply turning a profit. Any business can 
make you money. And there’s certainly nothing wrong with finding a 
lucrative business and using it to create the reality you dream of. In fact, 
if more people would simply do that, the level of happiness in the 
world would increase tenfold. However, a passion-centered business answers 
to a higher calling. Even profitable business vehicles will often fail 
to sustain your interest, and eventually fail simply because they are 
not meeting your spiritual needs. You may have some success, but may 
still end up looking for something else later. It's that something else 
that we seek in this article. 


A JOB BY ANY OTHER NAME 
One of the most common tendencies people have when they start thinking 
about doing something they love is to start looking to standard 
professions. They hold out the hope that changing professions will offer them 
a means of escape from the monotony and lack of fulfillment of their 
present form of incarceration, er, I mean employment. Unaccustomed to 
thinking about making money in ways other than those with names like 
lawyer, social worker and accountant, they make choices within those boxes. 

It's time, however, to think outside the box. As you search for your 
passion, don't make the mistake of simply trading one form of employment 
for another. While it's true that some jobs may be more satisfying than 
others, and that you can get degrees of fulfillment from various forms 
of employment, what we're doing here is something completely different. 
We're not looking for an existing box within which to fit ourselves. 
We're starting with our dreams, and making our own box from scratch. 


YOUR DESIRE IS YOUR RESUME; RESULTS ARE YOUR DEGREE

To live the "passion-centered lifestyle", no resume is needed. There 
are no pre-qualifications, just your natural gifts, talents and 
interests. The lack of formal education or degrees will not exclude you as long 
as you have a willingness to learn. Your desire is the only resume 
you'll need. 

In addition, there's no degree required for what you do naturally. Your 
ability to create the results you promise through your passion is the 
only validation and certification that others want to see to feel safe 
buying from you or hiring you. 


WHAT IF I HAVE TOO MANY PASSIONS? 

Here is my best advice for those who are overwhelmed by the many things 
they like to do. In choosing a passion to pursue, it’s not important 
what you choose, but simply that you choose. You are not obligated to 
stick with this decision for the rest of your life. Following your passion 
is like taking a journey. Each decision is a station along the way. 

Each choice is a single step in a thousand mile journey. That’s why 
it’s vitally important to simply head in the direction of your passion, 
because the journey is the most important thing. Six months from now you 
may be an entirely different person with different needs, desires and 
motivations that may require completely new passions to express. Don't 
be paralyzed by thinking that your decision is written in stone, or that 
you are excluding all the other things that interest you. You are 
simply taking the critical first step. . Go forth boldly knowing that you 
can change your mind and your direction at any time. 


WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A PASSION? 

The answer: EVERYONE has a passion. The fact that you exist is your 
guarantee that you do. Your passion is who you are. Everything about you 
is an expression of your passion. Your love is the expression of your 
passion. Your enthusiasm is the expression of your passion. Your fear is 
an expression of your passion. Your desires are the expressions of your 
passion. Every thought you’ve ever had of new ways to express yourself 
is your passion speaking to you. Every feeling that has ever passed 
through you that beckons you to be, do and have more is an expression of 
your passion. 

Your passion is the reason and rhyme for why you are here. It reveals 
the underlying theme of your life and the role you have chosen to play 
in this drama called life. Your passion is what guides your decisions in 
all of your choices. Your passion communicates its existence through 
that still small voice within you when you choose to listen.

The opposite of a life lived with passion, is a life of desperation, 
misery, frustration and unhappiness. It is a life that appears confusing, 
chaotic and out of control. It is a life perfectly described by Henry 
David Thoreau, who said "the mass of men live lives of quiet 
desperation." So, if you’re experiencing any of those feelings, it's a sure sign 
that you do in fact have a passion that is seeking attention and 
expression. 

So, the question is not whether you have a passion, but how do you 
discover it. You can discover your passion if you know which questions to 
ask, and then answer them honestly. That is what the Discovery Exercises 
are designed to accomplish. Any one of the exercises may hold the key 
to helping you find your passion. 

Many people report experiencing breakthroughs simply by asking 
themselves the question in the first exercise: "What do I want?” For many 
people, that question is one they have never really answered. Allowing their 
own desires to be brought to the forefront of their minds, opens up 
limitless possibilities that, quite literally, changes lives! 

This is just the introduction in a series of articles designed to help 
you discover, develop and profit from the pursuit of your passion. 

So I'll summarize by recapping the main point: 
The only way to take control of your life, raise your standard of 
living and move beyond merely surviving is to create your own unique product 
or service that you offer to increasing numbers of people in exchange 
for the things of value that you desire. That thing of value is based 
on your natural talent, skill, or interest-in other words, your passion!

Page Expired

If you are on a secure web page (bank, credit card, shopping,
etc.) you may get a message that says, "Page Expired". This
means that the server automatically logged you out. While this
can be a pain, it is basically for your protection, so bear with
it.

This normally occurs when you go to another web page and then
try to come back. If you are filling out a credit card form to
buy something, and you have to go back to find out the product
number, guess what – you’ve got to start all over. It also can
happen if the page sits there idle for a period of time.

When you are doing business on the web, make sure you have all
the information needed BEFORE you start filling in the credit
card information. Don’t start filling it all out and then go
look for your credit card – if it takes too long, when you get
back, you may get that dreaded “page expired” message. <Grin>
