Is the key to wealth actually following your passion?

[Scuti]

You hear it all the time, 'just do what makes you happy', 'follow your dreams', 'pursue your interests' etc. after a while I started to think it was some BS that if you just follow your passion you'll be successful. Like how am I supposed to make a living off doing what i enjoy

But lately I've been thinking it may be true.

Can you think of 1 multi-millionaire that doesn't enjoy what they do? Whether a world reknowned painter, a boxer, a tech genius, an entertainer, a bodybuilder, the list goes on. It seems to me that a common denominator between the VERY successful people in the world is that they are obsessed with what they do because they love it so much.

On top of that, in this day and age it's easier than ever to get paid for just doing you. There are people playing games on twitch, making some serious dough. People selling beats electronically, making some serious dough. Hell, there's this kid on YouTube made 7 figures reviewing kids toys!

Dont get me wrong. There are plenty of people making little to no money doing what they love, but at any point it can start looking up...everyone's gotta start from ground 0. I often hear people saying "they just got lucky", when in reality they put themselves in the position to get lucky. Can't win the game if you aint playing. All it takes is that one moment for things to start clicking for you...and then...

Idk yall, I'm about to just go with it and not look back. whats the worst that can happen

I don't know about the key to wealth but its definitely a key to happiness. Most jobs aren't going to make you wealthy anyways.

There's a risk to everything. Just make sure you have a backup plan.

people can have more than one passions in life. it is up to the parent(s), given their longer life experience, to help navigate their child(ren) towards a passion that has the potential to make money.

u stand a better chance making it big doing something that involves creativity.

No.
The key to wealth is to already be wealthy, or to capitalize on an idea that will sell to other people, in one way or another.

I'd be happy making 50K a year with a bunch of down time

I think it is. I mean when you look at the billionaires from Gates to Zuckerberg etc, they all became rich doing things they were passionate about. It takes a lot of work to get there and if you're not passionate about it you won't make it.

I used to think that until I saw this

HELL NAW,

The key to wealth is saving and smart money management. What about that dude in BMORE making 12 an hour as a parking attendant in BMORE saved up, was it a million?

Think he was passionate about parking cars and stocks?

The key to wealth is exploitation.

You have to exploit historical, economic and market circumstances to extract max value for yourself and your consumers.

If anybody right now wants to become wealthy as fukk, go to Africa or South East Asia.
