Help! I Have Too Many Passions! Which One Should I Do?
It’s another gorgeous day with another gorgeous Q & A, my perfect panda bears! Today’s question is one I hear a lot:
“How do you choose which business idea to pursue with your business when you’re a multi-passionate person?”
My short answer?
How do you choose between your passions? DON’T!
I’ve done so many things over the years – lots and lots of different things. I’ve sold artwork online, I did commissioned artwork, I did prints, and I ran full-out retreats I did online coaching, I did online tarot reading… I’ve done just about everything under the sun. I wrote a book. I wrote another book. Anything that I’ve been interested in doing, I just do it, and guess what?
It all works out.
My passions have changed over the years! If you’ve been with me a while (thanks for that, by the way!!) you know I’ve gone from being really passionate about selling my art to being really passionate about helping women create sacred lives they love all the way up to now when I’m SUPER DUPER passionate about helping women create freaking amazing businesses they love.
And who knows where I’m headed next! All I know is that following my passions has never been a bad idea yet.
Rather than asking, “Which passion should I do?” Ask, “Which passion should I do FIRST?”
That’s the big difference. It’s not what do you do and what do you leave behind, it’s what do you do NOW.
You’re going to have to work out, “What am I going to do right now?” then put it out into the world, and just focus on that thing.
And then you go on and create the next thing.
Then that way, you can just keep on.
I highly suggest you make it part of your routine to use your magic money-making kit every month from the Business Goddess Program; then you can go, “Okay, I’ve got all of these potential streams I could earn money from. What do I feel like doing this month in order to bring in this amount of money? What do I need to do?” Sometimes you’ll focus on one thing. Sometimes you’ll focus on a number of things.
The point is: it’s fine to be multi-passionate. It’s totally cool to be multi-passionate!
As you follow your passions, some will naturally rise to the top and some will fall away.
What you do now isn’t necessarily what you’ll be doing for all eternity. Even successful stuff!
Sometimes you will just feel that it’s time to let something go, even when it’s still making money. Usually that’s you making room for something even bigger and more amazing.
The Academy is obviously what I will concentrate most on over the next year. That’s my number one focus. But even within that, I’ve still got so many different things I can work on in it.
I can create videos, and I can create lots of different programs, and meditations, and ebooks that I could write about any topic and share my passions with people that way. So I still contain my multi-passionate roots in that.
That’s my one income stream at the moment. (Well, actually there’s two because my book still sells on Amazon. And that’s a lark! And I think I might write a romance book at some point. It’s sort of a secret. I’ll probably write it under a pen name because then I can be a dirty girl. That would be so funny. I would fall over laughing, probably!)
What happens when something doesn’t work?
Sometimes you’ll find that something you’ve done doesn’t work out, or doesn’t work out as well as you hoped. Maybe you wrote that ebook, and you sold a few, but it didn’t do as well as you had hoped.
The cool thing about being multi-passionate is that you’re never going to be lost for ideas!
So, if one thing doesn’t work out exactly like you wanted, you can just shift into a new passion, a new mindset, and try something different.
Blogging getting boring? Try videos!
Ebook not selling as much as you’d like? Turn it into a course?
Course not converting any more? Give it away as a freebie!
There are a million different ways to spin your genius into something amazing that people will want.
What if your passions are TO-TALLY different?
What if you love hip-hop dancing and marketing? (That’s Marie Forleo, by the way.)
What if you’re passionate about world-travel and being an entrepreneur? (That’s Natalie Sisson’s Suitcase Entrepreneur.)
What if you play the ukelele and like to help businesses launch stuff? (Oh, that’s the adorbs Farideh Ceasar.)
Here’s the deal, darlings: People want to do business with YOU! And those quirky, weird-o, totally amazing things that make you a unique unicorn are the things they’re going to LOVE about you!
So go for it. You do whatever you want.
You really can’t lose!
Power to your passions, darlinghearts,
