101 Tips to Help You Make Money Doing What You Love
- Cut Out TV Time – Instead of watching other people doing what they love (actors, athletes, etc.) while you sit on the couch, why not invest the time into becoming an Inspired Money Maker.

- Be Yourself
- Don’t Hide Yourself – Be Accessible
- Visualize Your Goals Daily
- Have an Opinion

Great List Paul. Being an organization “freak” I get stuck on number 70 quite a bit
Thanks for the amazing list,
Rigdha
Just stumbled across this list and must say I think your list is great!
But I feel the need to add my own input in regards to number 48.
In a nutshell though I could spend hours trying to explain…..
I am a developing Medium and Psychic as such.But it simply is not something I boast about.In my own opinion “seeing” the future is not something i believe in offering when i read for people – simply for the reasons that we have free choice in each of our lives and therefore the future is always able to change due to the choices we make..
For me when i give a reading for someone I like that person or persons to be able to walk away happy with a smile on their face.
And yes I agree there are many fakes out there that I find difficult to accept.
I always try to remind myself of faith, hope, understanding, tolerance and acceptance of another’s beliefs also.
One other thing is that all of us are born Psychics and as we grow older sometimes due to our thoughts we can lose this ability or rather we can simply not realize it or choose not to- I dislike it being called a gift – but we can relearn this ability if our path takes us this way later on in life.
Simply its a matter of being aware.
I hope this makes sense or clarifies any misunderstood thoughts.
Sometimes simply not understanding something is harder to accept.
So for the reason of feeling great and positive thats why I agree with #48.
And for those asking the question – my accuracy is pretty well spot on up to date….
Have a great day
I loved this post. Actually inspired me to get started right away. Just made a blog so I can talk about the personal project im going to do.
rgrdz
winning the lottery would be my #1
It is Excellent Post,I would like to suggest to read this post daily morning for a month this will this bring change in self developmet and your surrounding.
I am confused a bit about the Be unreasonable. Could you expand on this thought?
Thanks. Love the list by the way.
@Trev: Sure Trev.
What I mean by “Be Unreasonable” is simply not to allow other people’s definition of “reasonable” to stop you from achieving your dream of making money doing what you love.
For example, John Chow and Steve Pavlina are both Bloggers who literally sit at home, write some articles about random stuff and post them on their Blogs and get paid over $30,000 PER MONTH to do that. Is that reasonable? I don’t think so.
Imagine if you were the first Blogger and nobody else has ever done it before, and you told one of your friends “I think I am going to start a Blog and make $30,000/month from it.” They would probably laugh at you and say you’re crazy. Your mom might say “Cmon…be reasonable son… you should go to college and get a degree and then get a good job with a good salary with benefits.”
See what I mean? My point is simply that in all the different business ventures I’ve done and all the things I’ve accomplished, I had to do things differently from the norm. A lot of times I’ve had people tell me that my expectations, my work hours, my intentions, my understanding of reality etc. are all “unreasonable”. After a while, instead of trying to prove to everyone that I AM reasonable, I just realized it’s easier to agree with them and say “I know! I’m totally being unreasonable…that’s why I’m going to succeed so greatly and accomplish things that most people who are reasonable never will!”
That usually shuts them up.
Einstein wasn’t reasonable.
Bill Gates wasn’t reasonable.
The Google guys weren’t reasonable.
etc.
If you want to be reasonable and be like everyone else, the reality is that you will probably never make money doing what you love. Being reasonable means working Monday to Friday, 9 – 5 at some job you hate for 45 years, and then at age 65 retiring Broke and having to go back to work at a fast food chain. That’s what being “reasonable” in life brings you.
Hope that helps to clarify what I meant.
How I love all the tips…
Thanks to ever made this….
Good list. Becoming a success is hard work … even when it means slowing down.
that is a Great Post . so that i wanna ask one question how do i to do as what you said .
and to me … the problem is that i myself do not know what i should do to make money .
i have not idea which way i can do ??? i think i can do that as your posted even more of them .
thanks in advance .
@retief: Read my eBook ‘The Passion Project’. You can get it for free at the top of my page. It might help you.
Hi Paul
I was introduce to your blog by the niche store builder which feature one of your post “Making your First Dollar Doing what you Love”.
Let me tell you that I immediatly was hooked in your blog, excellent and interesting reading, respond well to controversial posters, very useful information and nuggets of wisdom. Overall – A+ blog, I bookmarked your blog.
Keep it up.
I stumbled on this and gave it the thumbs up! I love stuff like this
Excellent work.

Not surprised about #1. Limit TV, but use it wisely.

Dear Paul,
Thank you so much for your talent and hard work, your ability to articulate all of this is wonderful and something that I really needed to see. And I see from many of these comments that I’m not the only one that has to constantly deal with other people criticizing every detail of my words and actions, I am impressed with your determination and the way you handle them. They have always been my biggest obstacle in life, negative people more concerned with tripping me up than with their own lives. That said, I am learning by your example and posts, and I’m going to try and extricate complaining about them. Thanks again and please keep it up, you are needed!
One of these says don’t drink fancy coffee so you can cut your expenses. Then another says don’t think about cutting expenses… think about how to make more instead…. This is almost as contradictory as the one that says to seek answers from within (being that people who read this are seeking answers to questions about out how to live their life via some Joe Shmo’s internet post)
Interesting list has some great points
But if you did #2 and followed that example the majority of your list really isn’t necessary.
That book changed my life.
You left out take care of your health; it’s your most valuable asset.
Without it money is meaningless!
thank you so much you real mentioned the reality of life i rely loved number 99
just keep it up and be blessed

I hope it will help the blogging community and specially the newbies.

chia in long´s last blog ..How to Attract the Right Success Strategy For Your Life
Paul just wanted to commend you on your extensive 101 list to help you make money doing what you love! Some really useful tips here! Just changing a few of my daily habits will hopefully help me make better use of my time. First off, I definately have to admit that I watch entirely too much tv. Secondly, instead of the crossword puzzle in the bathroom, I will replace it with one of the many books you recommended reading! All the best to you and your family and thanks again for the great tips!
@Marianne: You’re very welcome. One thing you could change in your way of thinking that might help is to realize that if you’re not getting any “negative feedback” from someone, it probably means you’re not doing very much with your life.
What I have experienced in life is that the more you put yourself out there and challenge people’s beliefs and ways of thinking to inspire them to grow, the more you’re going to run into people who are not yet ready to hear what you’re saying. It doesn’t mean you’re wrong or that they are wrong, it just means that you’re not yet resonating at the same level. Instead of trying to “prove” to yourself or anyone else that you’re right and “they” are wrong, it’s often best to just accept that there will be people out there who disagree with you…and that’s ok! One thing you’ll also find is that many of the “negative” people who will try to attack your ideas, very often don’t have very many of their own. It’s kind of like that one person in a group that doesn’t want to do anything that anyone suggests, yet has no suggestions of their own. 
Hope that helps.
@Jason: They aren’t mutually exclusive. You could easily save $100-$150/m by cutting out “fancy coffee”, and then use that money to help fund some type of new income stream that helps you make more money. I find a lot of people get stuck ONLY cutting expenses, without realizing that it’s sometimes easier to make more money than to cut an expense. On the same token, sometimes you may need a bit of money to invest in things that will help you to make money, and most people underestimate how quickly a few dollars per day adds up to.
The same goes for seeking answers from within. I am simply bringing up the awareness of being able to seek answers from within yourself, not always from the “outside”. You can do both, can’t you? For example, you could consult with “experts” in a field and get varying opinions and then seek answers from within as to which path to take. The coffee example is a perfect example of this. For some people, they will need to cut down on some of their expenses, and for other people they’ll be better off making more money than trying to cut down expenses —- how will they know which is better for them? They seek for that answer within. I give them a few suggestions, their inner self tells them which is best for them.
