How to Monetize Any Hobby, Skill, or Passion
My 5 hacks to make it happen
From the get-go, you were fed bullshit: “You can be anything you want, even President of the United States” or Gary Vee’s “Do it, fuck it up. It’s your time to crush.”
The truth is that the dishonesty and disillusionment about what it takes to monetize a dream or passion are at a fever pitch.
New age internet gurus are clueless about your aspirations.
You could be dreaming of building a replica of Epstein Island, but they’ll still pimp out the belief that anything is achievable.
The truth is monetizing a dream is a mixed bag.

I’d have a built-in excuse, too.
“Yeah, that rock really got me back there.”
But this isn’t me.
It’s a thought — a self-defeating force working against me.
