Episode 571: Should You REALLY follow your passion?

Today, I want to have a conversation around something that is important and relevant to all entrepreneurs right now, and that is passion. What is passion, and should you really be following it? How does it differ from purpose, and where do I see online business owners getting it all wrong about passion? There are lots of opposing viewpoints on this topic, and I want to help clear it all up for you in this episode!
