Working a Job You Love: Making Your Passion Your Paycheck

Determine your passion. This is probably the most challenging part of the whole process. We all have passions – lots of them. But, figuring out which of our passions means the most and which we can transition into a career isn’t easy. No matter what, it’s all about knowing your one true love. What’s that thing you’d enjoy doing and sharing with clients each and every day? Perhaps you’d love to make exercise or healthy eating part of your career. Sit down with yourself and determine what that really means. Do you want to be a personal trainer or write a cookbook? Only you will know the answer, but you have to do the internal work to find it.

Think about how you can transition from your 9-5 to a new career focused on your passion. What do you have to do in order to get this done? Maybe you need to spend some time building a savings account, perhaps you need a small business loan or maybe all you really need is a leap of faith. No matter what, it’s time to get a plan.

Put together an action plan. Building your own business takes work because nothing worth doing is every going to be easy. And, having a plan is the name of the game. Do your research. Learn about the competitive market. Get the training you need and set yourself up for a lifetime of success. Make a list of priorities in terms of figuring out how to get this done. What type of investment will you need? Do you need equipment or an office space? Can you start the business from home and grow as the business expands? Take a good hard look at what it’s going to take and then, get it all down on paper.

Align your team. Maybe all you need is yourself to actually get the business off the ground, but it’s going to be tough and you’re absolutely going to need support from family and friends. So, let them know what you’re working on and that you’re looking to them to give you some support throughout the process. They’ll be so excited for you – they’ll most likely offer to help in any way they can. And, take them up on it! Sometimes it takes a village.

Have faith. Here’s the thing: going out on your own is scary! But faith in yourself and faith in your passion is all you need to make it happen. You’re going to work harder than you ever have before. You’re going to have to hustle, big time to find the connections, the people and the places to make it a success. But, if you put your mind to it – it’s yours!

So, what are you waiting for? How are you going to take those first steps to turn your passion into your paycheck?
