In reply to Dom @ Gen Y Finance Guy. Failures are a huge part of the process. Just recognizing that makes you more likely to succeed. Thanks for the feedback Dom :)

I’ve always been a believer that failures are the stepping stones to success. It’s all the knowledge you learn in the process that eventually leads to fulfillment and something you can monetize. You just have to embrace failure and dead ends as part of the process.

In reply to APurpleLife. Thanks for the feedback! Glad you found this post so helpful. It definitely takes time to hit upon ways to make money from your interests, but I have found that the more I try, fail, and experiment, the faster I learn what does and doesn't work. It sounds like you've done some serious oscillating yourself based on your history of roles/responsibilities. Keep trying new things and be patient :)

This is really great advice. You’re making me wonder if I oscillate enough 🙂 . My career has included every role/responsibility in my field (marketing) and I enjoy reading about many different topics (finance, econ, history, watercolor, endocrinology etc) but I haven’t figured out how to cultivate those skills past learning about them really. I give free financial advice to friends/family and teach them how to retire early (if they ask). I’ve also just made my blog public just in case my story can help someone else, but I’m not planning on monetizing it. Hmm basically I feel like I have a lot of interests, but am not sure where to go from here. You’ve given me a lot to think about. Thanks for another great post!
