Pursuing your passion sounds like some far-fetched dream, but it is possible — I have done so.

It is important to know that it’s not a one-step journey. It’s not a binary process, where one day you’re not pursuing your passion, and the next day, you’re successful and earning money doing it.

Rather, it’s a deliberate process, one that you strategize, plan, and take steps to make happen. Reviewing, adapting, and iterating. All the way until you succeed.

I have detailed my passion journey in quite a few posts on PE, as well as covered different aspects of pursuing your passion. I’ve compiled all of them here to guide those of you pursuing your passion.
