Today’s topic is something light…. but profound.

passion

I will like to talk to you about passion. Have you every tried doing something, you think you like doing and then later, you begin to question yourself,

Why am I doing this?

Why am I doing that?

Whats the intrinsic objective for me to do this?

Whats the intrinsic objective for me to do that?

What do I gain from here? Why am I putting in so much? Why…? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Well… Today, I am going to let you, a little secret out. You see, the magic word of maintaining your passion, is to “outsource”.

Example: I am a financial associate. You see me talking about insurance, savings and investment because that is my core expertise.

I enjoy talking about making money in stocks, making money by investing in funds, having adequate insurance coverage for families, because that is my passion.

I can do it all day long, tirelessly because why? Because all that is my PASSION!

So…Does passion lasts forever? The answer is NO!!!!! You have to maintain it!

Now, what is the NUMBER 1 unwanted element in my perspective, that can KILL your passion?

The number 1 element that can KILL YOUR PASSION is trying to do everything yourself.

Yes…. When you try to do everything yourself, you are not cutting cost. You are increasing your opportunity cost of adding value to your business. Worst, if you do things that you are not….really passionate about, and mixed it up with doing things that you are so passionate with, the “why am I doing this question” will crop out…

As I progress with my financial planning business, there will be a lot of things that I will outsource. I am going for lots of seminars that is relevant to the “expansion phase” of my business, so when it comes to the “implementation” of my plans, I dont have to do all the “thinking” alone.

I will have the “network” of highly qualified individuals who are very, very passionate in their subject matter to assist me.

… and guess what happens when a group of highly passionate people work together? Valuable results ensued!

So, friends…I leave the small token of my well-guarded insider tips here. If you want, to maintain your passion, OUTSOURCE!
