The people in these stories followed their passion and created wealth through it. What is your opinion on following one's passion in relation to wealth? Can your passion lead to an increase in your net worth? If yes, what is stopping you from following it?
I can definitely say, turning your passion into profit may sound easy as you already have the skills to deliver good results, however the hardest part is finding a good market and some excellent business and marketing plan. But at the same time, I can also say, there is a huge chance for you to succeed with it, simply because it is what makes you happy that you're not only doing it for money. But then again, building your own business may demand double or triple your effort compared when you're working for a company.
I guess the main reason why a lot of people did not dare to do it is because they are afraid of failure.
I can put myself in this situation as well. I had a talent in drawing and I really wanted to become a full time tattoo artist and build my own studio, but for that same reason, until now I haven't made even a single step to bring that closer to reality.
