The Basic Difference Between an Ordinary Man and a Warrior…
The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything as a blessing or a curse.

Connect with Those Who Share Your Dreams & Passions
his post goes out to everyone that I’ve connected with so far and with those who I will be connecting with soon!
It’s crazy to think how fast your life can change once you begin to surround yourself with the right people.
After reviewing my goals, the very first question one of my mentors asked me was: Who’s in your circle?
This really made me think. I absolutely love all my friends and family, however, the truth is that most are employees (which is completely fine if that’s what you desire). I realized that if I wanted to successfully build & buy online businesses, I needed to build relationships with others who are also setting out to do the same thing.
As a result, PassionPlusProfits was created with one thing in mind: to connect and build relationships with serious digital entrepreneurs working to buy and/or build profitable online business.
This is the perfect platform for me to share my thoughts, ideas, as well as my successes and failures with those traveling similar paths, in hopes that you receive something of value.
Now, if you want to accelerate your own achievement of goals, then be sure to ask yourself these questions:
1⃣ Who’s in my inner circle?
2⃣ What kind of relationships am I developing?
3⃣ Who do I allow to be in my ear?
4⃣ Are they an asset to me?
5⃣ Or are they a liability?
6⃣ Do they elevate my spirits?
7⃣ Or do they tear me down?
Be deliberate and conscious about the people you allow into your circle of influence because it will have a significant impact on how well you exercise your passion and profits.

Pursue Your Passions
Out of all the different things you can be doing right now, make it a priority to pursue your passions.
Yes, we each have our responsibilities, obligations, and various other commitments, but let’s not lose focus of what’s important to us. It can be so easy to get caught up in our typical day-to-day routines.
Refuse to get stuck in a rut and switch it up!! If you already know what you’re passionate about then you’ve got it easy; just go out and start living your passions.
If you’re not quite sure what you’re passionate about yet (as I am), you can still get excited about uncovering and discovering your passions.
In case you’re still trying to figure out what your passions are, here are some actionable steps you can take right now:
1⃣ Meditate. Go find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed and sit in silence for at least 20 minutes. Before you begin, ask yourself: “What am I passionate about?” You will receive some kind of answer, and it’s ok if that answer is “I don’t know.” Sometimes the answers will come to you during your meditation. Other times the meditation simply unblocks something from your mind and the idea will come to you at another time.
2⃣ What did you love doing as a child? Children express their passions with no restraints. Think back to your childhood. What did you enjoy doing and what sparked your imagination?
3⃣ Ask your friends and family what they think you’re passionate about. We often have “blind spots” that can prevent us from seeing the obvious about ourselves. Getting a different perspective from those who know us well can give us insights to characteristics we already possess, but overlook because they are so natural to us.
4⃣ Brainstorm. Simply put pen to paper and start writing down anything that comes to mind. The idea here is to pour your thoughts out onto paper and then evaluate them later.
5⃣ Do something for the first time. Trying something new and different has the potential to spark passion, or at the very least, clarify what you’re not passionate about.
Your passion is waiting to be unleashed. Master your passions and the profits (as well as anything else you desire) will surely follow.
How You Can Follow Your Own Heart-Centered Path to Profits
There are two general paths to earning money. One is the more commonly traveled money-centered path, and the other is the less traveled heart-centered path.
Which path are you currently on?
I followed and found myself stuck on the money-centered path for years, even as I observed others traveling further down that same path with their high paid and unfulfilling jobs.
Instinctively, we can tell when someone is working at a job solely for the money. You get that same vibe from a business whose main mission is making money over delivering value to their customers.
Here are two key lessons I’ve learned from following money:
1⃣ When you chase money, you ultimately give your power to money. When you center your life around money it becomes an endless game of chasing something that seems to always be out of reach.
2⃣ Money becomes an excuse. It’s so easy to blame money for an unfulfilling life experience or to allow it to stop you from taking action to realize your desires. In reality, it’s usually not the lack of money that’s the issue; it’s the lack of ideas.
So how do you avoid the pitfalls of the money-centered path?
Here are two ways to begin following your own heart-centered path:
1⃣ Learn to focus your attention on what you love and desire most. You’ll start shifting away from that feeling of lacking something (e.g. money), and towards strong feelings of excitement and gratitude for what you already possess.
2⃣ Make passion your priority. There’s something that happens when you allow your passion to fly freely without any distractions or limitations. You’ll find yourself overflowing with energy, ideas, and inspiration. You’ll be more creative.
The most interesting thing is that the heart-centered path is also the path to abundance. You will attract the right people, opportunities, resources, and anything else you need to make your desires a reality; all with perfect timing.
I love the idea of owning online businesses aligned with my heart-centered path.
Imagine owning a business driven by your passion, and where profits are a byproduct of your passion.
Trust that everything will line up perfectly once you start following your own heart-centered path.
