What You’re Good At > Your Passion

A mistake a lot of people make starting out is trying to monetize their passions over what they’re good at..

All the gurus will tell you to follow your passion

or follow your heart..

When really, the world plays based on skills and results you can deliver..

Whatever it is, get good at that, and then charge a lot of money for it, and you find your passion later..

LeBron James at some point,

realized he was 6 foot eight 260 pounds

and can jump and touch the moon,

so he went all in on basketball.

Would it make sense if he never played basketball but went on to try to become a motivational speaker?

Would he even be good?

Would he even be known?

Would it have produced the life he lives, even if he was so very incredibly passionate about being ” Lebron James, The Giant 6’8” Motivational Speaker from Akron, Ohio “

The answer, is NO.

Instead he monetized on what he knows he had potential to be good at,

he made it his goal,

he worked at it, even when things weren’t great,

and from time to time he does some motivational shit,

and he’s one of the most influential, inspirational, motivational athletes on the planet!

But would he have been who he is today, without going in on what his God given abilities were?

Do you get it?

You have the same amount of God Given talents, skills, and qualities!

They may be different, but everyone has their 2-3-5 things that they have that are innately better than others!

The same AMOUNT of qualities, not the same qualities.

And they don’t even have to be to the extreme, level to monetize.

What’re you good at?

What’s in demand, that’s in service to others?

That you can charge money for..

Start there..

Your passion for it, and passion for what it produces for you, comes after you’ve done some shit..


You can always fulfill your passion, with a lot of money in your bank account to do so.


This is 1 huge takeaway for this great interview that was basically a high cost mentorship disguised as an interview with all of us able to watch..
