Do you love what you do?

Do you wake up in the morning excited to go to work? Do you look forward with eager anticipation to the day’s challenges and tasks? Do you become so engrossed in your work that you lose track of the time? Do you have a passion for what you do?

Passion and commitment have long been associated with the lives of successful people. It’s not always about the fame or the money or the power. It’s about commitment to something larger than your self. It’s about what you can accomplish that might make a difference in the world.

Jonathan Fields has written a great new book, Career Renegade: How to Make a Great Living Doing What You Love. [1] While not cutting edge new material, the book does compile a range of useful information about ways to make money from your passion – a sort of primer for those seeking to gain personal traction on the issue.

The book includes exercises to help you find your passion, tips for conducting research and launching a new business and stories about the success of others to inspire you.

If you are not currently pursuing your passion, Career Renegade might be a useful read.
