Thanks for your input, Chuck! 🙂 I always like to hear a variety of perspectives.

Come back soon.

While a writer can research and put together valuable, helpful information — you can definitely feel “heart” when a person cares about what they are writing.

Meant to say “there must be something there IN ADDITION to money to make you work.”

They Psychology of Motivation is something that I’ve studied in college because I find it fascinating. I think people find me too “warm and fuzzy” when I talk about passion verses dollars and cents, but there are several parts that fit together to motivate a person to take an action.

Money is only one of them.

I’ve used this example before, but it’s one that makes sense to me.

– I’ll walk across the street to help someone who dropped their wallet. Free. I’ll volunteer at the Humane Society. Free.

– However, there are MANY things that I would not do for a million dollars. Hurt my children? No. Leave my husband? No.

Money isn’t a motivator on its own. There have to be other factors to get a person to take action.

So, to take action in your business – there must be something there other than money to make you work.

Translation: I agree with your comment. lol!

Business expansion potential is very important, as is making sure the business is something that you can sell down the road if you choose to.

That’s why I don’t bother with Auto-blogging or putting up crap sites in volume. Who will want to buy it down the road?

Smart. 🙂

LIKE! 🙂

You’re very welcome, Tracy. I’m glad it helped.

It’s interesting. I get bored if I try to force a niche. It may be something that someone else can totally take to the bank, but if I don’t really care — it’ll sit.

Money is only part of a motivator to me. If I had to write about acne all day — meh. It wouldn’t get done.

Funny how we rate passion vs. profit. See discussion below. 🙂

It does not have to be your passion to make it a business. If your are very good at something that is the thing to capitalize on. Some people try to make money in the business just because they think or heard that that particular business makes big bucks. And most of the time they fail. But if there is something you are passionate about and you try to make money out of it, you are 50% on the way to your success.

Alice you have got great spirits and agree with your ideas. Family and business cannot go together instantly but you need to create a saturation between both of these.
