Living a normal life versus following your passion

Updated: Nov 7, 2019

Finding employment versus being in business


“It is by crawling that a child learns how to stand.”

Living a normal life versus following your passion


When you live a normal life you will always be feeling depressed, fatigued, having low energy, trapped, unable to concentrate, always forgetful and probably always falling sick, having headaches and anxiety. As a result of all these and the depression beginning to kick in, you will pick an addiction along the way just to fill the void feeling inside. If you decide to follow your passion on the other hand you will experience joy, good health and full of energy each day, relaxed, a natural high feeling and freedom.


Living a normal life means living a life without creativity and limited wealth. Identify and follow your passion and money and wealth will follow you.


You will never find happiness living a normal life. You will be doing an ordinary job and waiting for retirement. Choose to follow your passion and you will live a fruitful, successful and happy life. You will be moving towards your true purpose in life.


Money will come and go but living a normal life means you will be doing something either because of peer pressure, because of the money or because you are always afraid of leaving your comfort zone. Passion on the other hand will last forever. You will be doing what excites you and you will be doing what you have always wanted to do.

I believe you have seen the importance of business, technology and why you should get into business. A lot has been said. It is therefore important that we revisit some of the important points.




Finding employment versus being in business


There is always a “floor” as to how much you can cut down therefore, how much you can save since you will have to meet monthly expenses such as rent, electricity bills and others. If you are employed, to save more money you will have to cut down on your personal expenses. There is no “ceiling” as to how much income you can raise from your business. With good planning even a million and more is achievable. You can raise additional income from your business and save more.


When you are employed, it means that you are selling your time for money. The job takes your time and energy but the company is making far much more money than what it is paying you. This income is not guaranteed in the future. Your employer’s interest is in the profits alone. When you are in business you are taking your time and energy each day to building an asset and in case you fail in your business venture, you can use your project to show case your work experience. Companies today want to hire failed entrepreneurs because they understand what it takes to build a business. These people are known to inspire others and inspire new ideas.




To raise additional income from your employment, you will have to put in extra hours on your job. The rate paid remains as set by your employer. Income made from your business may be low at the beginning but will keep increasing as you put in more time and effort, re-invest profits made and as the business gains momentum in the market. With patience your business will begin to grow at a faster rate and you will begin earning more from it.


Employees think of how to put in more hours at work while entrepreneurs think of how best to invest their time and money.


Finally, you can use digital marketing to:

· Study the market and identify its needs.

· Create a product or service that meets the market needs.

· Create a product or service that cannot be replaced or duplicated by competitors. Be creative and innovative. Differentiate your product or service for your customers and market.

· Most importantly follow your passion and turn your passion into a million dollar online business.
