Many people still work, even though they consider it a chore.
For the simple reason that they need the money, I agree with your statement though but only when you have the money to support the “giving up your chore job for a while to look for a new and better job”
I’m willing to bet that 95% of all people don’t do a job they are passionate about!

All businesses can become a chore after a while. That’s usually because we get trapped in a cycle of routine. After years, everything can get old… like marriage. We have to constantly find new ways to add excitement into the mix. You have to get creative. Twist things around. Blog at different times of the day. I always try to stir things up, post long one day, short the next. I do something fun and silly, then do a serious topic that has a lot of advice.

Sometimes branching out helps. Going outside of your focused niche and stretching it a little. You can ultimately tie a niche to everything if you find the right link. It’s all about getting creative.

I like what you said in the post, Anthony, and also am in agreement with Ben up there.

Unfortunately for me, I wake up and go ‘Noooo I don’t wanna get up and get ready’. Lol. Working on changing that

Btw, I’m stealing your idea of a brain dump. It’s the only way to be truthful to yourself.

Completely right Anthony; passion can not exist without excitement.

I think there are times however when even though you have passion and excitement for something (like a blog) the regularly daily actions can feel less appealing some days. I know after a day of building up my reading list of posts I want to read and comment on that I can feel a little uninspired if the list is particularly long. But if I start at the top and get stuck in usually I get the enjoyment back after a few posts. If you can break through that little mental block we all get from time to time then we can keep up that excitement.

Finding your passion in business is essential. But that doesn’t mean that you won’t have days that your work feels like a chore (it just means that you have less of those days).

I love your focus on quality because that is one of the things that I have set as a standard for my blog.
