Summary
Today, I want to have a conversation around something that is important and relevant to all entrepreneurs right now, and that is passion. What is passion, and should you really be following it? How does it differ from purpose, and where do I see online business owners getting it all wrong about passion? There are lots of opposing viewpoints on this topic, and I want to help clear it all up for you in this episode!

It's that time of year where you get to look back, evaluate your performance in business, as well as look forward and start to plan for how you want 2023 to look for you! If you're an online expert looking to surround yourself with the industry's top leading and most influential coaches, authors, and course creators, then look no further than The Performance Mastermind as your secret weapon to creating your breakthrough year over the next 12 months! Now in its 8th year running, this is my intimate and elite group of multiple 6 and 7-figure entrepreneurs, where we come together in-person and virtually over the next 12 months to coach, support (and yes, call each other out) as we focus on making your dreams a reality. If you're already in the 6 to 7-figure range in your online business and you know that being a part of an intimate mastermind like this is just the thing you need to create that next breakthrough in your business, then I invite you to submit your contact details at https://jameswedmore.com/performance and instructions will be emailed to everyone on that list. There's only about 30 seats available and each year we have been getting 800 to 1,000 interested people, so go to https://jameswedmore.com/performance so that you don't miss out for another year!

I want to invite you to help contribute to this podcast by submitting a question for a #Q&AEdition of The Mind Your Business Podcast. All you have to do is go to http://jameswedmore.com/QA and record a question (under 4 minutes or less) that could be featured on an upcoming episode.
In this episode you'll hear:
- Why I wanted to have this conversation today about purpose, and what you need to begin understanding beyond just what your purpose is
- The definition of "passion" versus "purpose" and why it's important to know the difference
- The ways that identifying as a multi-passionate entrepreneur becomes a problem when building a business
- Why you don't have to be passionate about what your business is about to be successful
- The reasons that there is validity in a business telling you not to follow your passion
- What it really takes to make money [and it's not what you may think]
- An exercise that I suggest doing to get a clear picture of what you need to work on right now
