Years ago I had a business I was pouring TONS of effort into yet getting very little in return.
I was desperate and in urgent need of a venture that could earn me some serious cash.
So I asked my friend Mercy: “What business can I do that would earn me money!”
She responded: “Hannah, you’re asking the wrong question. You should be asking: What business could I do that I’d be Wildly Passionate about?”
Years later I see the great wisdom of her words.
That business I slaved over but was NOT excited about tanked- DUH!
It was bound to fail because my heart wasn’t in it-
I’ve learned that no matter how much one earns in a business- if you don’t L.O.V.E it, it’s just another job- only worse because when you’re the owner much more weighs heavily on your shoulders.
Now I have a business I’m crazy about! It includes my TV Project Dream BIG.
A few days ago Mercy asked me, “How do you feel about the people you make Dream BIG for?”
“I LOVE THEM!” I responded without any hesitation!
And I do love our Dream BIGGERS!
Had I pushed to make a “success” of a business only for the money I wouldn’t enjoy it as much as Dream BIG thrills me! And I sure wouldn’t love the individuals who make up our audience.
I’ve learned that if what we do is not founded on Love it can never bring us Joy.
Hannah Viviers is the Creator and Host of the Dream BIG TV Show.
P.S. I had the pleasure and honour of interviewing extreme adventurer Riaan Manser recently.
What a rocker guy!
Below is the second half of our interview with him.
I shared this clip at a business where Dream BIG had been asked to give an inspirational talk- Our audience was blown away by what drives Riaan- I hope it’ll bless you too!
