TMBA 206 - Should You Deprioritize Your Income and Go After Your Passion?
This week on the Tropical MBA Podcast we decided to give Mark Manson a call to dig further into his idea that "passion is practical." Mark walked away from big income to focus on a project he was passionate about, and it ended up working out better in the end. Was it just a fluke? Did he get lucky? Or is there a broader lesson in all of this?
On the show this week:
Why "The Dip" is the exact reason that passion is practical.
A perfect example of using some pain to be able to transition to a passion based business.
The power of the "ultimate luxury."
What to do if you're having trouble finding what you're passionate about (and if your passion doesn't line up with money).
How to know if your entrepreneurial prospects are in danger.
