You may have to give up something you love doing if it is not getting you closer to your goals. One thing I use to love to do and I am very good at is selling on eBay. I loved buying at yard sales and thrift shops and selling the stuff on eBay. I loved taking pictures, writing the descriptions, uploading the auction and watch the bidding wars start and end!
I took pride in my auctions and to satisfy my personal best I put time into a lot of detail. I uploaded 10 pictures for 1 item, and a description about the slightest detail.
I made a lot of money doing eBay, but it was a the expense of having a personal life, family time, time to devote to my personal development and life coaching business, etc. I also had a very disorganized house, messy and cluttered,but clean. People kept telling me it was not worth it, but to me it was at the time.
Finally I closed up my eBay store because we were doing a total remodel on our house for at least 6 months, inside and out. After we moved back into the house, I had no desire to get started again.
Maybe after I get closer to other goals and have more free time, I might list a few high ticket items now and then, but not spend hours and hours of my life doing it.
Why am I telling you all this? Because I was making money, I thought I was doing good. When I looked at my goals, I was way off. I was doing what I wanted to do, not what I needed to do.
Now before I do something, I ask myself:
What can you do in the next 15 minutes that will take you closer to your goal?
