The Passionately Curious PodcastIncome Projects and Vocation Projects | Passionately Curious Podcast #41In today’s episode, I want to talk about income projects (also called job projects) and passion projects (also called vocation projects) and why it’s important to keep them separate. I would also like to talk about why it’s important to prioritise income projects as a solopreneur and how to ensure that there is a sufficient pipeline of income projects so that we can keep doing our work.
