Thanks for the replies everyone. I truly appreciate them. I am glad to see there are others out there following their passions and making money from it.

I regularly tell people how blessed I am to be doing what I love! Nevermind being able to work from home and set my own schedule and pay scale, I love being able to get paid to write! It’s not like a ‘real’ job when you are having fun working. A 12-16 hour workday 6 or 7 days a week does not really bother someone who is enjoying what they are doing, who is born to do it. Even the little achievements are huge, because it’s my business, my name on the sign. This is the most exciting thing I’ve ever done. I saw my old boss just a little while ago and he asked me am I making millions “doing my writing thing” yet. I told him with a smile I am on my way. My success lies largely in how happy I am doing my job. If I don’t get rich I don’t care. I do, of course, want to make an income to support my family, and the idea of being able to pursue my passion and get paid for it still leaves me awestruck.

Brilliant article! It all comes down to passion. Passion gives you the drive, it gives you focus, it makes you forget your surroundings and it reminds you who you really are.

When you finish a project and it’s 3:30 in the morning, you’re exhausted and then you look at it again: you smile, you’re proud and you feel ALIVE!

Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
