So, maybe stop waiting around for your passion to magically become profitable. Develop your passion, don't follow it. https://t.co/CIVw04Bocy

You need to put in the work. Invest in learning - read, dig deep, ask questions, seek out more information, don't stop. And when you've learned enough, take some action.
Remember - nothing changes over time; things only change when determined people take deliberate actions.
