The Power of Passion
Pursuing just any career = moderate earnings + job dissatisfaction + disillusionment + a lack of fulfillment
Did you know that 70% of people are dissatisfied with their career?... or put more eloquently, 70% of people hate their job! That's a scary statistic you probably want to avoid.
Unfortunately, most people get stuck in routines—whether it be in school or at work—and forget to take time to step back, self reflect and discover what really makes them tick. To make matters worse, in school we are never taught how to uncover our passions and how to apply them to a career we will love.
More and more people every year unconsciously default into a career path rather than taking time to design the career path that is best for them. They end up dissatisfied, disillusioned and feeling stuck.
So how do you end up in the 30% club of happy and successful people?
The first step is discovering a career you are passion about, the second step is gaining the gusto, momentum and confidence needed to pursue that career at full force.
Despite all the risks, uncertainties and the many people who might call you crazy, you will soon begin to see the amazing results from igniting your fire within. Your earnings, opportunities, productivity and level of satisfaction will skyrocket. Best of all, you will no longer be working for the weekends… you will be working because you are passionate about what you do!
"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."
Pursuing a career you are passionate about = greater earnings + greater productivity + a deep sense of satisfaction + happiness
Why pursuing a career you love leads to a BIG bank account...

Why pursuing a career you love makes you more productive…
Assume you have two identical homework assignments. One is for a class you absolutely despise and the other is for a class you really enjoy. Which homework assignment are you going to start first? Which assignment will get extra attention to detail? Which assignment will you be enthusiastic about and spend more time on?
It's a no-brainer, you will do a better job and get a better mark on the assignment associated with the course you enjoy.
"Without passion you don't have energy; without energy you have nothing."
The same rule applies to your career and anything else you do. Passion gives you enthusiasm. Enthusiasm (which comes from the Greek word Entheos, meaning God-powered) gives you the fire to burn through anything. It boosts your energy, keeps you focused and causes you to perform at your best.
Fortune Magazine discovered that highly motivated employees are 127 percent more productive than their co-workers. That means when you are passionate about what you do, you will be 127 percent more productive then those around you. Not a bad competitive advantage, don't you agree?
"Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."
Why pursuing a career you love is the ticket to satisfaction…
A recent study revealed that kids of baby boomers are much more concerned with finding a meaningful career then their parents were. Why? Stated bluntly, it's because they don't want to end up like a lot of their parents did—unhappy, dissatisfied and feeling stuck in a boring routine.
Loving your career is a simple solution to finding satisfaction in multiple areas of your life. When work is stressful, that stress infects your relationships, fun time and everything else you do. When work is fun and energizing, your enthusiasm will carry into your friendships, your family and the other activities you engage in.
In summary, boosting your satisfaction at work heightens your satisfaction in all areas of your life.
"A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself."
Are you ready to boost your profits, productivity and level of satisfaction?
