4 Reasons Why "Do What You Love To Do" May Be Bad For You by OlasunkanmiSM(m): 8:45am On May 10, 2022
You know they say "To succeed in Life...you must DO WHAT YOU LOVE".


While that is partly true...a lot of people make this great mistake that they end up not achieving Success.


See ehn...it's good to do what you love. But it's even better if what you love can actually move you forward in life and provide income for you.


Love won't put food on your table.


Many people get caught up in the "I love what I do" while they're still suffering underneath.

They are the types of "Suffering and smiling" kind of people.

You don't have to LOVE what you do if it's moving you closer to your goals and achieving Success.

No...you don't. But you have to BELIEVE in it. Like 100%.


That part is non-negotiable.


Here are 4 reasons I found out about why what you "LOVE TO DO" could not be moving you forward.


1. There's something you don't know about what you're currently doing you should know.

Let's be honest. If you truly love what you do...you will want to know everything about it including how it contributes to achieving your goals.


I love my Affiliate Marketing Business so much and I try to find out ways I can develop and move the Business further to achieve my goals everyday.


So there just might be something you don't know yet about it and when you learn it...it could change your life.



2. There's something you're not doing consistently enough.

This most times prove to be the difference from the top and bottom People in every walks of life - personal and business.

Consistency is KEY to Success but only if you're consistently working on the RIGHT things.



3. Your heart is in the wrong place.

I know most people won't like to hear this part but it happens to be the case 20% of the time.

Probably you got into that opportunity for the wrong reasons...or doing "follow-follow"..you know what I mean right?

When you do something because other people are doing it and you don't try to find out if it's actually the best thing for you.

You should probably consider a change of vehicle in this case.


And lastly...

4. Too scared to leave your comfort zone.

Sounds familiar right?

Yes. You are afraid of making that change even when you realize what you're currently doing isn't taking you anywhere.

So when they ask you why are you doing this? You go "I am doing it because I LOVE it".

This is the worst of them all.

It's very important to consider these reasons if what you're doing isn't moving you closer to your goals.


Stop "Suffering and smiling". Only you can can change your life and that's only if you WANT to.

PEACE..!
