Constantly challenge your own concepts.

"What is ________ after all?"

I struggled for DECADES with the concept of 'work'. Work was supposed to be hard and unfulfilling, preferably inside a grey cubicle and boring people around.

I broke the concept to pieces and rebuilt it.

Sometimes it's not that you have to change the rules, or the concepts, or your preconceptions and beliefs about work.

Sometimes it's about not working at all.

And this applies to everything.

The quote "Find your passion so you won't have to work" is a bit misleading.

To live without working, you still have to act: insert yourself in the highway of value. Find people that want to go from A to B.

You're like a metaphorical Uber. And your skills are your vehicle.

Forget cold showers. Forget 'Pain' and 'Hustle' and terms that only prime your brain for obstacles.

Find the vehicle you like most - A car, a truck, a motorcycle. The one that it's the most FUN for you to use.

Then begin slowly upgrading it, one client at a time.

Yes, THERE WILL BE PAIN because there is absolutely no growth without pain.

But it's like the pain of a football player in the middle of a game after a vicious slide tackle.

Endorphins block that pain while he's doing the thing he knows (and enjoys) best.

The simplest idea to make money is deceptively simple:

- Do something fun
- Document it
- Sell the guide as a PDF

Don't believe me? well, there are preteens cashing in $200 a week selling guides and coaching on FORTNITE.

FORTNITE. COACHING.

So, picture value as a highway.

- Some people will buy your 'Map from A to Z'
- Some will ride a bus with you as the driver
- Some will pay the full-day one-on-one limo ride & tourist attractions with unlimited spirits.

That's it.

I hope you find this thread insightful!
