Publisher's summary

Taking the listener on a journey from discovering a marketable passion to generating an income from it, this book is a practical guide to tackling one of the key questions of our era: how to make a living doing the thing you love.

Aimed at all those who want their work to be fun and fulfilling, and who feel they might have a unique gift or message to share with the world, this is an amazingly effective guide to making money doing what you love. It is the only book to take listeners through the whole process of creating an income from a passion, identifying which interest they could monetize, choosing a bespoke path, and learning how to become an expert in their chosen field.

Part 1 explains how to discover a marketable passion with the help of the Dream Job Chart, which guides you in assessing your business ideas, skills, and the causes you are passionate about. Once you have clarity on your passion, Part 2 describes the three possible paths to creating an income from it, offering inspiring examples of both famous and everyday people who have successfully followed each path. The Adventurer's Path is for those of a braver disposition and with few family commitments. The Strategist's Path is for those with patience, flexibility, and a lower tolerance for risk. The Grinder's Path is for those who feel a need to continue with their present work while also pursuing their dream. Finally, Part 3 explores the four stages to becoming an expert in your chosen field, so that people will pay you for your skill or product.

Along the way you will learn:

  • why bad luck can't stop you
  • the right time to quit your job
  • how to use freelancing or consultancy to help you reach your goal
  • how to make progress with your passion even if you are working full-time
  • what to do if you're over 50 and want to create an income from your passion
  • And much, much more!

Find Yourself, Your Passion and Be Free!

Do The Work You Love: How To Create An Income Without Working A Boring Job.

5 stars!

Let’s face it. Nobody likes working for The Man. But in a capitalist society, a steady source of income is essential. Working in a factory or corporate setting is like making a deal with the devil. In exchange for your life energy, you must give up nearly all your waking hours, which leads to crappy diets, crappy attitudes and crappy entertainment resulting in crappy health, ending in a crappy life.

What’s worse, you are expected to give up your values, self esteem and very identity to fit into the workplace. The end result is a hollowed out version of yourself whose creativity and vitality have been grinned down by time and corporate conditioning.

No wonder you aren’t happy with yourself and your circumstances.

But fear not, there is a better way forward. A roadmap, in the form of a short self help book, by best selling author Joe Barnes.

In DO THE WORK YOU LOVE, you will learn detailed strategies to break away from being a corporate drone, follow your passions to create a independent income stream and be the person you were destined to be.

This book is chock full of real world examples of people who’ve been in your shoes. People who desired and transitioned to a better, freer, more rewarding work life.

What’s more, there’s even a job chart included within the book to help the reader narrow down which of their various passions or interests to pursue.

Along with the 3 paths (Adventurer’s, Strategist’s and Grinder’s Path) to getting paid to do the work you love and how to become an expert at your chosen craft. In my opinion, this was the BEST part of the book.

Finally, the author ends by guiding the reader on how to know when to take the leap and quit your job for good.

Do your future self a huge favor and buy this book TODAY!
