Believe In You - What Gets You Excited

As Gary puts it so well...with the power of the Internet, "it is possible for anyone to be 100 percent true to themselves and make serious cash by turning what they love most into their personal brand". Wouldn't it be outrageous for you to reach the point that Gary truly believes everyone can, a time when "there no longer has to be a difference between who you are and what you do"! So what is my take on this, well what do I believe was and still is my passion? I have always enjoyed writing; songs, poetry, news articles, commentaries, humorous quotes, and even short stories, you name it and at some point and time I took a crack at it. Why did I eventually give it up and shift my focus from what I loved to what I felt I needed to do to make a living? It wasn't any one thing that stole my passion, it was an accumulation of things including tough marks form my English teachers in high school for grammar not content, rejection letters from Readers Digest that provided no feedback as to why they were rejected, Poetry that went unpublished after the tenth re-edit to make it perfect, songs that were put to music without knowing the next step to marketing it for production. As "Crush It" explains it so well, it is not enough to just determine your DNA (attributes and abilities), if you want to make money with them, you have to learn everything there is to learn about your passion and then apply them. Once you have this level of understanding about self there is an extremely powerful vehicle called the internet to help you make it your brand.
