Strangely I just got the disqus notification of this reply. Crazy!

Yeah I've been thinking about that since I heard that interview. May implement in the future. Luckily, her job is safe for at least the next year - and by this time next year, I'll be in a totally different place as far as the business/blog! Just don't have to rush it now.

Thanks as always Srini!

When someone does something with passion as opposed to doing work, you can see a difference in quality.

You put your heart into it and it pays off.

@Nicole: I'm tremendously more satisifed in my day job because of all the stuff I do on the side. I'm even more fortunate that it all completely overlaps since I work in social media.

@Mike: I think your wife could make an online business out of teaching music lessons on Skype or through video. She can do a combo of pre-recorded stuff or even live lessons. I've recently interview a blogger Amber @EpicSelf who talked me about some pretty mind blowing ideas for digital education and how holographic technology will completely shift the way we learn.

Hey Ryan,

Thanks so much for you support and comments. I didn't get around to replying becaus the internet connection at my hotel sucked. But to your point,I've found that since I”m passionate about what I do, I'm way more successful at it.

Dude, this is some powerful stuff. A great read! I cannot think of getting a bigger rush than working on what I am passionate about. All the opportunities, people to meet, personal growth. You hit all the points man. I will definitely be checking out your blog.

@Ryan: Definitely agree on the passion part. 8 months of not having a job allowed me to find and work on things that I have a true passion for. I think you’ll see more and more of that as people desire independence. Without passion it’s extremely hard to succeed at anything.
