How to do what you love and make good money
By Derek Sivers
The problem:
People with a well-paying job ask my advice because they want to quit to become full-time artists.
But full-time artists ask my advice because they’re finding it impossible to make money.
(Let’s define “art” as anything you do for expression, even just blogging or whatever.)
The solution:
For both of them, I prescribe the lifestyle of the happiest people I know:
1. Have a well-paying job
2. Seriously pursue your art for love, not money
The ingredients:
Balance:
You’ve heard about balancing heart and mind, or right-brain left-brain, or whatever you want to call it.
We all have a need for stability and adventure, certainty and uncertainty, money and expression.
Too much stability, and you get bored. Not enough, and you’re devastated. So keep the balance.
Do something for love, and something for money. Don’t try to make one thing satisfy your entire life.
In practice, then, each half of your life becomes a remedy for the other.
You get paid and get stability for part of your day, but then need creative time for expression.
So you push yourself creatively, expose your vulnerable darlings to the public, feel the frustration of rejection and apathy, and then long for some stability again.
Each half a remedy for the other.
