"Just doing what you love" will not earn the revenue that you deserve

Posted on November 16, 2010 at 8:30am 0 Comments

This post originally appeared on The Tao of Rob.


There's a popular mentality going around that if you just do what you love, you'll be set for life. I hear people say things like this:

  • "If you love your work, it doesn't matter how much you're making," or...
  • "If you're passionate about what you do, you'll have all of the money you…

About Me:
I am a recent graduate of Wake Forest University where I majored in Communications. In my five years as an undergrad, I developed a student-led market research and consulting initiative for technology companies, produced two seasons of a local television series, and earned a living teaching companies how to use social media tools.

I get excited about photography, tinkering with gadgets and technology, web programming, and playing guitar.

Hey Rob, just wanted to get you the latest update on the Membership Transition of Inside919.

The free Member option is simply not going to work out - with it I have no way to determine who is interested in being an active member and who is simply not checking their email or these comments.

Not requiring some sort of decision leaves us with the same problem I'm trying to resolve. I am sorry for the confusion I've caused.

Simply click on the link above to see where we're going and why.

Let me know if you have any questions - the Goal is to create a more active and dynamic business community.
