Listen now
Description
Many people will tell you, "Pursue your passion and you'll never work a day in your life", suggesting that if you follow your burning passion, the money will follow.  Others are far more practical recommending  you find a product that will sell and focus on that right away while building your business because WE ALL HAVE BILLS TO PAY.  Which of these is right?  How should we balance pursuing our passion while earning a living?  Does a sole focus on money ruin our passion for a craft that used to make us feel alive?
