How to Stop Your Passion From Feeling Li...

Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

Today's episode is another GaryVee TV Classic, an interview from "Tea with GaryVee". It is a very common dream for people to do what they love and make a living off of it. Monetizing your passion sounds good on the surface, but it can potentially be a double-edged sword for some. If your side hustle is starting to feel less fun and more like a job because you are now charging for it, the right move for you may be to not monetize your passion and have it as an outlet for your actual job. Having downtime away from work will not only let you enjoy your craft but also make you better at your job for it. Take a step back and ask yourself if monetizing your passion will make you less excited to actually do it because you may not want to monetize. Do not put money before your own happiness!

P.S. It might be time to bring back Tea with GaryVee. Tweet me and let me know your thoughts!
