    How many of you know that emotions can be transferred even through modern technology??

    I had a skype chat conversation with my dad earlier yesterday and such and awesome lesson came out of it I just felt it needed to be shared here! Don't tell him I told you! LOL!!

    and Yes our whole real name is JB no periods, initials, or anything just JB LMBO!! Anyway I hope you find some value here! :))

    [1/29/2011 4:53:32 PM] JB Linzy III: Hey dad let me ask you?

    [1/29/2011 4:54:09 PM] JB Linzy III: What is something that like like doing? Something you are passionate about! That means you can do this for hours and hours and hours and still be ready to keep going?

    [1/29/2011 4:54:29 PM] JB Linzy III: What is something you like doing?

    [1/29/2011 4:57:19 PM] JB Linzy Jr.: if i can fine a home base business that i can get paid like right now.

    [1/29/2011 4:58:08 PM] JB Linzy III: You can.. but first you have to figure out what it is you love! Then you will turn that into your business!

    [1/29/2011 4:58:15 PM] JB Linzy III: Forget about getting paid!

    [1/29/2011 4:58:25 PM] JB Linzy III: Money is a energy that flows up and down!

    [1/29/2011 4:58:36 PM] JB Linzy III: Money wont be enough to keep you in business

    [1/29/2011 4:58:56 PM] JB Linzy III: Your passion for what you do will drive you through the rough times

    [1/29/2011 4:59:33 PM] JB Linzy III: You ever worked a job where you thought "Im not getting paid enough to do this"?

    [1/29/2011 4:59:55 PM] JB Linzy III: Once you get to that point you are done because you dont even like what you are doing

    [1/29/2011 5:00:26 PM] JB Linzy III: That's how I was able to keep at this when our lights was off and I couldn't even cook a meal or take a shower!

    [1/29/2011 5:00:31 PM] JB Linzy III: See what I mean??

    [1/29/2011 5:03:57 PM] JB Linzy Jr.: I see what u mean, but we are different we don't think the same way,my way is not your way,and your way is not my way.

    [1/29/2011 5:04:50 PM] JB Linzy III: That's exactly what I am saying! You are looking to do something my way when you should be looking for something your way!!

    [1/29/2011 5:05:50 PM] JB Linzy III: You have to dig into your interests

    [1/29/2011 5:06:03 PM] JB Linzy III: What you love doing!

    [1/29/2011 5:06:20 PM] JB Linzy III: I gaurantee whatever it is there is a market there and money to be made

    [1/29/2011 5:06:40 PM] JB Linzy III: What i'm saying is base your business around you heart instead of your wallet!

    [1/29/2011 5:06:58 PM] JB Linzy III: Don't even think about pay, because when your doing what you love the pay will come!!

    [1/29/2011 5:07:50 PM] JB Linzy III: So instead of looking for a home based business opportunity! Look for what your passion is.. or what you love doing! then we can form a business around that!

    [1/29/2011 5:10:43 PM] JB Linzy Jr.: u are right i had to laugh because that is so true, my thing is helping people,starting today focus on what i like doing got all night to do it

    Yep that's my dad.. Pretty cool dude!! :) Don't hesitate to leave your thoughts! :)

    That's true to a certain extent. You're a better choosing something you're interested in rather than picking a random niche and going with it.

    That was deep!

    You do have to go with your passion. If you are passionate about something, there is a good chance of you working harder and seeing some good results, which will financially reward you as well.

    Exactly - and the more you know about the subject, the better you're off. It's better to be passionate about something than just doing it out of boredom. Because other people may share the same passions as you.

    This is true.. Not to mention when rough times come boredom will not keep you in the game! When u start off and ur not making one red cent, money most definitely will not keep you in the game! Passion will be your aid when establishing yourself! Passion will give you longevity in the game ur playing in!

    I think passion is definitely marketable. You can work in a niche you're not interested in, but you'll have an extra boost if you're passionate about it. I've found that passion makes networking with others in your niche much easier. If you're able to speak comfortably and naturally about a subject because you're familiar with it, it's easier to promote yourself without sounding like you're trying to sell yourself too hard.

    Very well said!! Plus I think doing anything just to be doing it goes against human nature! We are naturally passionate beings! Our passions are what help us grow and as it goes, we're either growing or dying! :)))))

    This is so true. same thing as when you're not passionate with what you're doing at work, sooner its either you will resign or you'll get fired.

    Hi IH, i know too many passionate people that are stone broke. I started on the internet with my passion and didn't make a cent for 4 years. If you do start up a business that you are passionate about you had better be prepared to treat it like a business and monetise all you can otherwise be prepared to stay poor (unless you have enough money already to through away to support your passionate habit). Hint: find a market that is clammering for a product, sell that product effectively that's the answer. I hope these points are helpful if not thanks for allowing me to comment on your post.

    Very very very true. I have just learned this lesson and it seems apparent many people still just dont get it! look at it this way

    the more you help give people what they want, you will receive what you want in return. Dont think its going to happen overnight. Value is very
    powerful. It will never always be about the money, its about building relationships. Relationships can alter your life in many ways.
