There is no living thing that isn't inherently equipped with skills and abilities it needs to secure its continued existence. Whether through instinct, size, camouflage or speed, no gazelle, lion or giraffe has to go to trade school to learn how to survive. That’s beauty of divine plan. We, as humans, are part of this plan and each one of us is given something that sets us apart from everyone else; something that we can use to ensure our own survival. Before industrialization sent hoards of us to cities to work on assembly lines in factories, we all used something we did or owned to exchange for things we couldn't do or didn't own. Experts say that before Industrial Revolution, 80% of us where entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, because we now live in a capitalistic society, we rarely have a chance to be rewarded for extraordinary potential we bring to universe. Instead, we are rewarded for lowest common denominator--something we share with just about everybody else; our time and your presence. Think about it. You're paid simply for showing up to a job for a certain number of hours to do a job which somebody else could just as easily do; It's this replaceability that ensures that big business—which competes on price—can stay in business. If people were compensated based on real value of their "talents" big business couldn't survive. So even if he or she wanted to, no employer can or will ever pay you what you're worth. You can beg for a raise every year, work more hours, or go on a constant quest for next higher paying position in an effort to improve your life, but conditions will invariably stay same. The only way to really raise your standard of living is to leverage your talents, your gifts, your interests and your hobbies to create a product or service that you can sell to increasing numbers of people and free yourself from cycle of trading time for money. You need to become a passionpreneur and turn your passion into profit! By taking this bold step, you’ll join ranks of a unique group of people I call “Passionpreneurs.”
