answer:I’m probably not the best candidate to answer this, but I have had two home businesses that I ran. One was a Financial Brokerage and I really did not have a passion for that. But the money was good. Long story short, I went through a break down etc., and now I have just started a Massage business. Totally different and yes , a passion. The money is no where near what I need. But I do have steps to further educate myself in the area of different types of massage and “get my paper”, so to speak. For me the massage is therapeutic, is more authentic to who I am, I meet interesting people. It is something I “give” to people which I enjoy. I know a number of people who are currently following their passion and no they are not making huge bucks. They are supplementing it with other jobs in between. So I am not very convinced that following your passion is the right thing to do if you want to get wealthy. But on the other hand a good sound business plan, a dash of determination, and a solid start up base, with time it should grow into a cash cow. Yes I also like the hours I work since if I am having an off day its OK. Well not financially OK but not the end of the world.
