Cashing in on Your Passion while Staying True to Yourself, with Guest, James Patrick, Award-Winning Fitness Photographer, Author, and Founder of FITposium EP109


Just because you are good at something doesn’t mean you have to do it for a living.

My lord do I wish someone told me this early in life!

So many people (me included) turn what we are good at into a career, never asking ourselves if we are truly passionate about it or enjoy it.

We may love the awards, praise, and accolades from doing these things we are good at or even naturally gifted at, but that doesn’t mean it’s what we are meant to do.

I am naturally great at conflict resolution and crafting corporate documents, while these are great skill sets, I am not passionate about either, in fact I don’t enjoy them at all.

The magic happens when we align our gifts with our passions. My guest on today’s podcast episode found that magic and he’s going to share how you can do the same.
