#423: Ask Paula: Can I Make Money with My Passion?

We’ve heard the warnings about following your passion.

People ask if you can *actually* make money doing what you love. They frame the question “passion or profit?” as though these are in opposition.

The majority – who have never tried – decry, “what if you fail?”

We grapple with that question in today’s episode, which is devoted to side hustles and starting a business. We use questions from two of our listeners as a jumping-off point to discuss the realities of going into business for yourself, doing what you love.

Enjoy!
