Lifestyle Blueprint Automatic Income Coach

You've seen the signs everywhere, "Follow your passions and your dreams", "guaranteed pathway to success". I stumbled upon a website by Kevin Thompson the owner of Automatic income coach, today and I finally understood what it meant by creating a business around your passions. He offers a guide called the Lifestyle Blueprint. I knew about the idea, but never moved upon it until today. I finally got it.

I've seen these solicitors around the internet, especially in your email in box considered "spam", but this one was referred to me by Leslie Householder (I know interesting name)the writer of the book "Jackrabbit Factor". Anyway, that in itself is a story of its own, I'll leave that for later.

Back to my passions. He posed the question, like others before him, "What are you passionate about?" I thought I had none. He gave several scenarios of people who were passionate about something.

He took for example a home he drove by one summer in a rural part of America where he saw a bunch of old fashioned cars lined up in the front yard. He then explained, whomever was the owner of that home was truly passionate about cars and surrounded himself with like minded, passionate individuals.

He shared video stories about Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, who had a passion for wildlife conservation. When asked when he plans to give up what he is doing he replied, "when his children can take over his legacy".

Just a bit of inspirational thought. Be passionate about something and pursue it.

Passion Leads to Success

That is what I am passionate about. Although I do not have a lot of skill in these areas I know that many of these skills can be learned.

Then, the light bulb went on inside of me. Goose bumps ran up and down my skin and I now know what it means to follow my passions.

I realized that passions make me feel giddy inside. I feel inspired and energized for more. I can sit and soak in the information provided even if it lasts for hours I want more.

Unrealized Potential - Dreams

I look back at my life. In 2005 I thought I was poor. I thought I was worthless. I pleaded for a miracle and got a steady job at the local College. While working there my passions melted away like butter on a hot frying pan. I used to do photography, people asked me if I still did them I said, "no". After 6 months on the job where all of my energies, talents and time focused on being the perfect employee flowed my passions died and I no longer dreamed big.

I was content with the paycheck I received bi-weekly. I was glad that I no longer needed to struggle to figure out where our money would come from.

But, I was miserable. I hated the mundane tasks I did on a daily basis. I felt like a walking zombie going to and from work each day. The sun rose in the morning and set at night each day. The clock ticked away in the office and at 2:30pm I got the usual office craving for snacks.

After 5 years of this task I am now 15lbs heavier, gained lots of gray hairs and frown lines on my forehead. I lost my passion and felt as if I could never regain that again.

More Money = More Debt

When I decided to take that leap of faith and quit my job I realized that all I did with more money was create more debt. I wanted to go back to the simplified lifestyle I once lived.

Everything bought in cash. No credit to have to pay down.

My life, during this period, is not a total heart break. Huge lessons have been learned about myself and my joys. I realize my priorities in life. I realize that more money doesn't equal happiness if you do not know what to do with the extra cash.

I am still learning and I'll share more information about this in future posts.

Just wanted to share my thoughts with the world. I am a real person writing behind this desk. I experience pain and sorrow as well as triumph and success.
