Your Product

Let’s say that your passion is playing the guitar. What void can you fill in that marketplace? For example, if you can repair guitars and realize that there isn’t a repair shop anywhere else around, that could be a business opportunity.

You also need to ask yourself how you can make the industry better.

Think of all the various ways that you can actually make money off your passion. This may include:

• Selling an actual product.
• Sharing your knowledge about your passion by blogging, writing books or filming videos. 
• Offering advice as a consultant in anything from accounting to gardening.
• Becoming an investor in an idea that you’re willing to financially support.
• Inventing a gadget or software that makes life easier for people. 
• Building an event around your passion, such as a festival or community organization.

Mentoring requires having a clear idea of how the sessions themselves are to happen. 

Make sure that from the very beginning you communicate to your mentee exactly how all is going to take place: how often, where, how, etc. Get to know the other and use all the means you dispose of in order to help him or her reach the desired goal.

More than giving directions, a mentor is supposed to provide the so-called pieces of supportive advice, which will enable the mentee to make up her or his mind, based on their own beliefs.

1. In-tune with your own passion. When people are genuinely passionate about the problems that your company is trying to solve, they will be energized by any challenge that stands in their way.
2. Always questioning how it can be done better. The average person rarely considers how ordinary things can be made better or improved--those with the entrepreneurial spirit can't help themselves.
3. Optimistic about all possibilities. They don't spend time thinking about what they can't do, but instead ask themselves, "Why can't I?"
4. Taking calculated risks. They make calculated moves while understanding that there are never any guarantees of success.
5. Above all, execution. They realize that execution is everything when it comes down to success or failure.

• Intimacy: Emotional closeness, communication, feeling that no one knows you better or has your back more strongly than your mate.
• Thrill: Excitement, attraction, adventure.
• Sensuality: The entire spectrum from kissing goodnight to holding hands, from making tender love to raw passion.

Most mornings, commit to spending five minutes with your partner. Think of a relationship intention, then share it. "Today, I intend to be careful with my tone of voice when I feel impatient."

Commit spending two minutes at the end of the day reviewing your progress and ways to improve it.

Before charging people money, do what you love for free for quite a while. 

Doing the work without worrying about turning your passion into a business right away will help you hone your skills and build your confidence.

Figure out how to create your own success tool kit /secret sauce made up of all the different skills and experiences that only you have. This is what will make you stand out and keep your service unique.

Maybe you’re thinking about a career in photography. Maybe you also have writing skills, and you could start a blog to promote and build excitement around your photos.

• Earn extra spending money.
• Liberate oneself from the 9-to-5.
• Obtain financial security.
• Get a deeper sense of satisfaction.

It's the easy way to have an original personal brand. Pople can see right through a dishonest act and will call you out for it.

It will also make it much easier to manage your personal brand on a daily basis.

If your personal brand isn’t telling a story, you’ve already lost half of your potential audience.

The most effective personal branding strategy these days is to build a true narrative, a story around your brand that your audience can engage with.
