Great info here, Bere! I swear by roadmaps when doing pretty much ANYTHING, and what you share here will be so helpful to anyone looking to figure out how to create work that they love!
Hey, Bere,
Great video! I totally agree with your road map to begin with PASSION. But often it seems that passion and purpose do not lead to profit, or at least not a lot of profit. Do you have any suggestions or examples of how to to do them all?

1) I think not all passions are created equally. If someone has 5 passions, it could be that some of these passions more readily lend themselves to earning a profit. In that case, I would pick that one first.
2) It’s crucial to find a way to help others with one’s passion. If someone’s offer fulfills a human need, people are generally willing to pay for that. I find that one of the quickest ways to do that is to see if one’s passion can somehow be turned into coaching/consulting/training. For instance, someone who loves to think about finances could coach others how to get their finances in order.
3) Marketing, marketing, marketing. This includes things like getting comfortable with charging for one’s services, learning to clearly state what one does so people know whether it’s for them or not, and general business building skills.
Wow great info here, very useful thanks so much 🙂
