Life is not linear and it is amazing some of the stories people can tell about following their passion and how easily it ended up in a money making context. All exciting in this way. You have a good time while exploring what is possible and never do you feel you wasted time. You will also become a fun person to be around, filled with love and joy....coool.

John and I discussed this when he was over at our house. He saw potential in my writing ability (although to me its just natural, enjoyable and easy without trying to sound too puffed up about it.) But is really is comfortable for me. I think this is where we should all start a lot of the time when it comes to money. I have been in and out of various different money driven projects over the last couple of years and never stopped to think, "does this line up with me?" Writing, networking and communicating as groups or teams, is definitely enjoyable for myself. One thing I discovered is that the only reason I took on trading the Futures Market recently as an income stream was because it involved the human dynamic also. I can trade on a market with thousands of others and communicate via email or Skype. The money side is exciting but once I am up and running I want to write about it and share with others. Luckily with writing, I can virtually discuss anything because it is words and sharing then intrigues me not so much the subject itself. Although subject matter does have its place and adds for powerful writing. Its just that simple change in context that I think allows for people to enjoy what they are doing. Ask a salesman if he likes studying the Italian Renaissance period in art and he will probably say that its not fast enough and too low in energy output. Give him the paintings to sell however and he will most likely study them with ease as it will enhance his product knowledge with what he's selling. He will gladly wander the halls of the Louvre in Paris taking in what he can about the the art history that adorns its walls. Wow this is really interesting.
