I’m a believer in ‘Putting Passions before Profits’ because while profits may follow your passion, the reverse is almost never true. Following a happiness-centric approach will bring abundance into your life – often in the form of profits but not always – but then again, waking up happy every day is worth more than millions (in fact, it can’t be bought even if you have millions anyway) That being said, it can be difficult to resist the lure of riches and chase money instead of dreams (trust me, I’ve been there!). Just like everything else, I believe that the decision and commitment to follow your passion takes persistence, dedication and hardwork… but the rewards are definitely worth it. Monique Van Dijk @thenucreative p.s I’m looking for people who are following their passion (whether profits have followed yet or not!) to profile in my new book.

While profit is a necessity in this world (we all have to eat, pay bills and live our lives), it should be an outcome of a goal, not THE goal. Passion can drive profit. Look at the various companies out there today who've sprung up from passionate folks. Clif bar, Bear Naked and the many others that were started because the founders had a passion for what they did and wanted to do. Great blog Beth...keep up the great work. Great post Beth.
