I’ve been passionate about writing for over twenty years. Four years ago, I decided to make something of that passion, so I started a daily writing habit. In my first two years, I made $1,100.

Truth is, I was a terrible writer.

But I hired coaches, educated myself, and improved each day. The hard work has finally paid off. In the last few months, I’ve made more money from my writing side-gig than my fulltime job.

Today, I enjoy the freedom, if I choose, to do what I love full time.

I credit my success to five beliefs that took me decades to learn and adopt. If you have patience and a willingness to accept new ideas, you can transform your passion from a hobby into a money-making enterprise.

1. The world doesn’t owe you anything

And even if it does, don’t count on it to pay up. The universe defaults on its debts so often, it wouldn’t even qualify as a subprime borrower.

Sure, it would be wonderful if the master accountant in the sky balanced the books every month. But that process has been broken for as long as I’ve been alive.
