Good advice, but most people I know don't find making money exciting enough to pursue it as an end in itself. If you are not interested in what you are doing to make money, you'll probably lack the passion/excitement necessary to really work at it enough that you become good at it.
Selling things on ebay just for fun would make me crazy. I'd rather work on something that I find interesting. Jason has done a good job at identifying things he personally enjoys working on, and then sticks with it long enough to really excel.
- RougeFemme 14y agoI think there are people with the "sales gene" who are passionate about selling, period - to them, the product/service doesn't matter. They just want to sell. . .or be their own boss in any business. Then there's the rest of us. . .
- richcollins 14y agodon't find making money exciting enough to pursue it as an end in itself Is this sour grapes or did they actually get better at making money before deciding it wasn't for them.
- crucialfelix 14y agoBut the art of selling (thinking like the buyer) also applies to other transactions in life. Getting an open source project widely adopted. Presenting yourself for a job or a rental apartment. Showing your accomplishments online in your writings. Applying for the job of boyfriend to some girl who has many prospects. Same principals.
