Passion and Profit: How you can have it all

Since we broached that taboo topic, money, on Friday when we discussed the roadblocks to success, I thought I'd share another post from Illuminated Mind that delves deeper into the whole idea of artists able to make a living with their art; specifically the tug-of-war between Passion and Profit.

It's a guest post from Emilie Wapnick of Puttylike.com and is called Why Passion Will Fuel Your Greatest Work.

Emilie says:

"Most successful people will tell you the same thing: success is not a result of luck or talent. There’s no big break. You never get “discovered”. Success comes to those who work their ASSES off.

"Hard work, persistence, long hours in the trenches, getting back up after a flop- these are the traits that distinguish the truly successful from everybody else.

"We Always Work 1000% Harder on Something We Believe In

"If hard work is the distinguishing factor between those who make it and those who do not, then what’s the best way to motivate hard work? Make all that hard work fun. Make it something you love."
