I am in full sponge mode, taking in as much information as I can lately, reading reading and reading. I've been reading Re-Work by the guys from 37signals (basecamp) and the book has really been resonating with me. Basic ideas being strip the unnecessary stuff, think like an individual, focus fulfilling customers basic needs, and making things you are passionate for. All good.
I have also been wanting the success side that I see all the marketing ninjas receiving, the paycheck, the knowledge etc.
I see so many times the advice - actually build something and provide value, are you passionate about what you are doing etc. Right now I feel extremely passionate about growing a sustainable and fruitful income from online marketing and learning everything involved. This is independent of my other passions - things like rock climbing or music. My question is for someone at my point - in the early growth stages how is the mix best approached. In other words is it a safe idea to begin with my focus into profitable shorter term campaigns that I have maybe less personal passion about because I have such a high drive for marketing right now?
Also just to be clear, I am still working on my projects - my knowledge is dated and I missed some big ideas that I need to catch up on (just reading Traffic Leaks for the first time today) - I hope for a quick transition from 30% work - 70% research to 70% work - 30% research.
