There’s a quote I see often. It goes like this: “If you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life.”

That’s a lie.
Definitely find a way to do what you love. But don’t do it because you don’t want to look at it as work. It’s quite the opposite, actually. When you do what you love it becomes more than work. It becomes part of you. So much so that you can overwork yourself pretty quickly. That’s not good either.
Now listen, I understand the message behind this famous quote. It’s a good one. It’s saying, “Don’t sit there and work for the sake of working. Find a way to do work that is meaningful to you.”
That’s good advice.
But as an entrepreneur I know that doing what you love means being all in. And your passion for it will help you weather the inevitable storms that will come your way — and there will be many.
Do what you love. Period. End of story.
It will take lots of hard work, but it’s worth it.
