Passion can help provide fulfillment at work, and it will enhance the results you produce. This idea makes so much sense in conjunction with building web sites and blogging, too. Passion is contagious, and if visitors can share in your passion, they'll keep coming back. Thanks for the info! :smile: It’s just like what they say to do when choosing a career — go where your passion takes you.

My sites / blogs took a lot of work and long hours - so yes, it was a lot of work - but it was something that I enjoyed and loved doing so it didn't seem to be as difficult as someone from the outside. There is a lot of work (maybe a better word is time) that goes into a blog, especially one with passion. While I understand the point you're making, it's also important to point out that the money you make wasn't just handed to you - that's what a lot of people think when they see success. "Oh, that person just got lucky." That is the farthest thing from the truth as well. I think a lot of is has to do with what position you’re looking at it.
