How to Be a Passion Builder

Turn Your Passion into profit in 7 steps

- Kirby S. Llaban

Don’t follow your passion. There’s no money there!”We grow up hearing a version of this statement, understandably because many of those who pursued work that they love didn’t end up rich. They may have been happily working for their passions, but they struggled to make ends meet.

But how the world has changed when the Internet arrived! Today, you hear of YouTube millionaires—kids who simply do video reviews of toys can now afford to buy mansions. Even video gamers who screen-record their conquests get views by the millions and earn unbelievable income from ads. There are also those who create online courses, teaching their own expertise, and make a whopping seven-figure profit within five to seven days of launch!

With these observations, I couldn’t help but look into my own passions for writing and speaking and get excited about their earning potential. My dream was to publish a book and go around the Philippines and the world speaking about it. So, I wrote one about work motivation and spirituality. I called it The Fired Up Life and miraculously got a publisher. Immediately, I established my website, kirbyllaban. com, my Facebook page, “Kirby Llaban, Author and Speaker,” and my YouTube channel, “The Fired Up Life.” I blogged, vlogged, tweeted, and posted Fired Up Life content almost every day in all possible online channels.
