Turning Passion Into Profits
There are a lot of people that are passionate about what they do, the challenge for some is they don’t know how to quite profit from that passion. Many successful entrepreneurs are clear about their passion and what they want to do. That is the cool thing about getting paid for what you are naturally good at. When you have passion for something it comes easy to you. My goal for all my coaching clients is for them to wake up everyday and say “I cannot believe I get paid to this!” When you can say this, that is pretty cool.
This is exactly why I opened up my company Turning Passion Into Profits in this economy. You see like many people, I was working a J.O.B with another company as a real estate coach, but was unhappy because we had to work harder, take on more clients and work for less money. Sound familiar? Well I finally got tired of it and launched my own company in September of 2009. I have to admit I was a little nervous and thought to myself, Tammy you are the only one I know that has quit her job in this economy and started your own business. And you know that most businesses fail.
You see, I was crystal clear in what I wanted to do; to become a motivational speaker and coach, and train all over the world. I didn’t know how I was going to get there but I was determined to succeed. That is all you need, the determination to succeed. My business is thriving; I get new coaching clients every week that call me, mostly coming from social media. And just recently I was sharing the stage with Les Brown and Bill Walsh from Powerteam International speaking at the Rainmaker Summit in Newport Beach, CA. How cool is that? This was all done in the past 6 months, the connections came from going to events.
I have always said that your business is directly related to the quality of event you attend. There is a great event coming up in LA on October 7-10, 2010 at the LAX Marriott.

This is a must attend event for anyone that is looking to turn their passion into profits. I am a big visionary, and I believe if you get clear on what it is you want and who you want to serve the money will come. When I opened up my own company I had no idea that half of the people that would come into my schedule would NOT be Realtors. Most were small business owners, entrepreneurs, even network marketing business. I also did not expect to have coaching clients from all over the United States. It was no surprise when I have business owners from Palmdale, Lancaster, Valencia, and most of the Antelope Valley and Santa Clarita Valley coming into my schedule. However, just months after I started, I found myself coaching business owners from Los Angeles, Irvine, Sacramento, Las Vegas and as far as New York and Orlando. You see my coaching experience allows me to dig into what is really holding you back from succeeding in this economy. I mean you could go to the Internet and get everything you need to know about being successful in your business yes? Well I hear to tell you, you need a coach, and that person may not be me because there are a ton of great coaches out there.
Coaching changed my life. I hired a coach 6 years ago and I still use the principles and exercises he taught me still today. He taught me how to be passionate about what I do, and if I was in a business that I wasn’t passionate about to get out of it, and that is exactly what I did and could not be happier. You were meant to do something great with your life, something brilliant, and I can tell you it isn’t working for that boss you don’t like or that company that expects you to work twice as hard for half the pay. Go out today and be amazing!
