Ep. 6 - Is your passion a hobby, job, career, or calling? How knowing the difference can guide you toward purpose and get you paid!

Hey y'all!

Who do you want to be when you grow up? What are your passions? How do you discern whether your passions are a hobby, a job, a career, or a calling? And, ultimately, how do you actually get paid to do something you enjoy?

Today's episode is all about making the abstract more concrete so that we can create efficient and effective plans for financial stability and work we love! We discuss ideas around embracing your multi-passionate nature and streamlining it for your version of success. We also outline the differences between a hobby, job, career, and calling and how to use these as containers to help you get where you want to be.

For quick reference, our working definitions of these concepts are as follows:

 

HOBBY - Something you do for fun. No one has to know. You don't get paid.

JOB - Transactional. Trade time, energy, or output for money. Don't have to love (or even like) it. Typically, more short-term. 

CAREER - Devote time and energy to it. Investment. Education. Trajectory. Strategic Effort. 

CALLING - Can't "not" do. Divinely inspired. Vocation. Would do it forever, for free.

 

Where do your passions fit? Have they changed over time?

Ultimately, can purposeful and fulfilling work also make you money?
