Follow Your Passion

Seeking Passion + Balance

In one way or another, passion is what drives all of us. That’s what separates you from everyone that is just working for a paycheck. Whether you are a full-time entrepreneur or working on a side hustle, you chose this path because you are passionate about the work that you are doing.

You may not be a seasoned boss that has everything figured out yet, but that doesn’t mean you are any less passionate. We know that you wouldn’t be reading this email right now if you didn’t believe in and care about the work that you do.

Nevertheless, the passion that drives you to take the plunge and start your own business can be the same passion that drains you. It’s a double-edged sword. We can get so caught up in the devotion to our craft that we sometimes forget that we need to pace ourselves.

If you aren’t careful, you risk turning the passion into apathy. The place where your love for your work turns into just…work.

To keep that fire burning inside, we’ve gathered some resources to help you keep your mind free, your body rested, and your passion alive.
