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?

Ignorance may stop oneself in following his/her passion. I have a friend that love to build electrical things when we were young but funny enough he went to art class at his SS level. It was one of those people that was close to him that advice him to pursue what he love doing, he listen and change from art department to science department were he was now able to study electrical engineering. He is now making good cash from his work. His passion has helped him to achieve well in life and this has continuously increase his net worth.

Not all our passion can be balanced with income, of course everyone hopes to make money in various ways, unfortunately many people are confused so that when they want to start a business then can't wait and bankrupt. The presence of the internet can certainly be a source of knowledge and what business analysis is appropriate and profitable.
