There are many diverse opinions about following one's passion and wealth. I read two stories of people who followed their passion, and in a short period of time, the businesses became very profitable.
In story 1,
Defossey left a job at Apple to open a BBQ restaurant in Mexico City. It made $9 million in sales last year. In story 2,
Sean Audet, a 30-year-old, spent $0 launching a food photography side hustle, and now he brings in $134,000 a year.
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?
There are many more passionate and successful stories like the two you mentioned above. But not everyone who follows their passion will have such success, not every pursuit of your passion will be rewarded. I am a witness to following my passion but with no good results. I used to want to be a hairstylist, but while pursuing my passion, I encountered more economic difficulties than the advantages I had dreamed of. But when I switched to another field that I didn't love, it brought me a lot of money. For me, with a difficult life like now, as long as I have a job that helps me earn a lot of money, I will pursue it, I am no longer passionate about my passions. Because passion cannot be more important than wife and children and family.
Following what one is passionate about and that it turns out as expected is something exciting but sometimes this does not happen the first time that is why i agree that in certain circumstances not everyone manages to succeed with the goals they set, but there are those moments in which it has nothing to do with the fact that it is a bad business or that we do not have the skills to achieve it but because it is not the time to do it, It may just take time and greater preparation..for example.. there is a case that I would like to mention and it is that of the owner of KFC who achieved his dream after many years of trying that's why i consider that it is never too late and always doing things from the heart is what really penalizes.
