How about Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life? I think that holds some merit. You may starve to death if what you love doesn’t involve money, or the direct growing of food, or the theft of food from others, but that’s not part of my thesis now is it? hmmmmmm

Keith -

Thanks, man! Indeed, demand has a lot to do with it on both sides. Service providers have to demand the income, just to light the fire under their own butts. But they in turn have to create demand in their customers who either need their services, or just really really want them. Or a combination of the two, which is even better.

Thanks for your input!

Charlie: I really appreciate this article – it is indeed true! There are many things we all love to do, but these just don’t pay the bills. You are right, we must have a sense of DEMAND. That is what will allow us to engage in activities that will generate income. People pay for what they need, not necessarily what they want. Good catch there. So, we must have a nice balance between those timeless activities that perhaps only we cherish and those activities that pay the electric and other bills.
