The Truth About Pursuing Your Passion | #3

Passion isn't the thing that successful freelancers have. What separates the successful people is that they were able to show up when they didn't feel like it. They put up with all the boring and necessary work. Passion can only get you so far.

One thing you might not anticipate is all the repetitive work. When your passion starts getting repetitive, it can start to get boring. Some people wait for the spark of creativity. The people that make it in this industry show up every single day and work whether they feel like it or not.

Beginners jump from one idea to the next, thinking that new idea will be their escape. Where in reality, they just have to stick with one thing, execute for a long time, and the results will follow.

Motivation comes in waves. What's important is showing up every single day and doing something that will move the needle forward.
