On finding your passion...

I read a lot of books. Theres one by this preacher named Mike Murdock, and its called "The Law of Recognition". The premise of the book is that everything you need is already in your life merely awaiting your recognition of it. Excellent read.

(You can't buy it in the bookstore; you have to order it online.)

Entrepreneurship is the only way to big financial wealth. And entrepreneurs are basically just problem solvers. Every person who ever started a business did so as a way of solving a problem. The bigger the problem that effects the biggest number of people, the bigger the potential pay-off. Some examples:

Bill Gates started Microsoft as a way to solve the problem of an easy to use operating system for computers. He gambled that computers would become a really big thing, at a time when the average person didn't know what the hell a computer was. And computers have to have an operating system that anyone could understand and use. So he built a business around assembling the best software talent and cornered the market on software systems...for the world! He solved a big problem that effects billions of people; thats why he's the richest man on the planet.

Michael Dell- started fixing computers as a hobby while in college. Wasn't even looking to start a business...he just had a passion for computers. One day he ran an ad in a small obscure magazine for computer tekkies, offering computer repairs. He got such a huge response that pretty soon he was earning over $50000a month...from his dorm room...at 19! This was back in the late 70's early 80's! He saw a huge opportunity for building computers from scratch for the common man, cutting out the middle man and selling direct to the public. He was billionaire by his early 30's.

Suge Knight saw a need for some topnotch gangster hip hop music. I don't know how much of an actual 'need' it was; but he saw an opportunity and decided to fill that void in the rap game. He put together a sick production team...Dr.Dre, Snoop, Kurupt, BMX, the Dogg Pound...and of course Tupac. Void filled, need met, Suge was worth at one time close to $300 MILLION! Whether you agree with his tactics or not, the man followed the principles for building wealth...and it worked.

There's so many others...too many to name. But the examples are all around us, big and small.

Find your passion...really look for it. Its there. Its literally right under your nose.

Opportunities for creating huge fortunes and small ones are all around us. The world is full of problems that need solving. Just watch the nightly news. Finding one of these problems to solve, the one that motivates you the most and matches your skills and abilities, is how you get wealthy. Problem solvers are always in high demand. Just ask Bill Gates and Michael Dell.

Happy hunting...
