Summary: Take something you are passionate about, something you can and want to become the best in the world in, something you know a lot about and kick-ass.
Listen.
Don't let anyone or anything stop you from doing the things you love, the things you are passionate about. You own it to yourself to do what you are most passionate about. You own it to yourself to build skills and knowledge to pursue that passion. Getting paid for doing the things you love is within your grasp. Let's go!
Passion
It's what gets you excited when you do it. It's what you look forward doing the most. It's what you are the most enthusiastic about. Something you'd love to do every time you get a chance. Something you would like to do for a living.
You don't have to be good now, you don't need to be the best in the world now. You need to have the passion. With passion, and something you can and want to become good at, you are set. When you are interested to work hard and learn (everything) about the thing you are passionate about, you will have no problems getting the skills and knowledge you need to make it.
It will be hard. Do not think you will get anywhere by taking the shortcuts, the easy way out. With passion, you will have the energy and willpower to keep pushing. You will need to work hard, so choosing something you are passionate about makes sure working hard will still be enjoyable. You'd rather work hard on something you love than something you hate, yes?
Skills
Skills pay the bills. Money for nothing is a distant utopia. You will need skills, and the good news is, you have what you need already. It's the things you know how to do, the things you are good at. Those are the skills you want to build on.
Improve your skills and become better and better at what you do. Learn to do things you need to do. Learn to let others help you with things you don't need to do. Do the things *you* are passionate about.
Knowledge
Learn and study. Read books, watch videos, test & practice to know what works and what doesn't - whatever suits you and works for the thing you are passionate about. Build your knowledge.
With knowledge, you know what needs to be done, what skills you need, what skills you don't. With the knowledge and the skills, you have the means to turn your passion into a way to make a living.
Summary
- Take your passion, something you are good at and know a lot about.
- Turn that passion, skills and knowledge into specific solutions for specific problems.
- Don't let self-doubt stop you.
- Don't let anyone, most of all yourself, tell you that you will achieve nothing.
Get out there, take your mad skillz, and kick-ass.
