Brian Kim has written a new ebook called How To Finally Find What You Love To Do And Get Paid For Doing It.
6 months ago I mentioned Brian in my post Priority #1: Find Your Calling. Brian had written a post about how to find what you love to do, and I thought it was very insightful. That post now has 180 comments on it, and more than half of the emails that Brian gets are about that topic. Because of the huge demand for this kind of knowledge, he wrote an ebook about it so he could go into much more detail.
I can’t overstate how important it is to find what you love to do (something that can be made into a viable career). I’ve written about this before in Priority #1: Find Your Calling and Other People Will Reveal Your Calling, If You Listen. Over time, I’ve come to have a much better idea of what I want to do with my life, but I wish I had gotten started at 22 instead of 32.
Have you found your passion? If not, don’t waste any time getting started. This ebook is the best way I know of to do that. (In fact, it’s going on my Resources page.)
Obviously, this is going to be a highly personalized thing. So Brian doesn’t just come out and say “[insert your name here], you should do this: [insert your true passion here].” Instead, he presents you with a bunch of introspection exercises and helps you identify your ideal career as either an employee or an entrepreneur. One thing I have to say here is that these exercises will require a lot of thinking and a lot of writing. If you skip over them, you’re only getting a small fraction of the value of the ebook.
My suggestion is to buy it if you think the dedication sounds like it was written for you:
“This book is dedicated to all those who have that inkling feeling within them that they can do so much more with their lives, if they can only find out exactly what that is.”"

If you have ever asked yourself how to get paid for doing what you love to do, then this post is for you! Whether you want to make money working for someone else, or you want to make your fortune as an entrepreneur, there is a guaranteed formula you can use to ensure your success.
Veteran readers of this blog will note that I have been out of the loop recently, and the subject of finding what you are passionate about is a large part of the very reason why I dropped out of the blogosphere for so long. In short, I have been struggling with how best to spend the time and resources that I dedicate to my career, and I recently got a wonderful bit of assistance in that regard: Brian Kim’s awesome book, How to FINALLY Find What You Love to Do AND Get Paid For Doing It.
Back in July 2007, I did a review of one of Brian’s other books, The Hidden Secret in Think and Grow Rich, and since that book was incredibly useful, I was ecstatic to hear that Brian had released something new. The concept of finding what it is that we are passionate about is something that so very many people struggle with. After reading Brian’s Book, I can honestly say that the system contained in his book is the best one that I have seen yet.
As Brian so eloquently points out in the book, many people are “secretly leading lives of quiet desperation,” and despite their desire to find fulfillment and financial success, very few people are able to find and stick to a system that allows them to do so. As a result, many people end up just doing whatever they are good at and/or educated for, and what they actually WANT to be doing rarely even enters into the equation.
Using myself as an example, this blog has been up for several years, and although it has been a success on every measurable level, it became more and more apparent to me over time that simply blogging for a living – although enjoyable – was not enough for me. My life requires more of a consistent challenge than just writing provided to me, and I was left asking myself just what it was that I DID want to do.
Although I still love blogging and working on the Internet, I can’t honestly say that I am passionate enough about blogging to see it as my “mission” in life. Does it hold value for other people? Absolutely, and for that I am grateful. However, my destiny lies along a different path, and Brian’s book really helped to open my eyes to some core concepts that needed to be considered as I mapped out the next stages of my life.
There are other books out there on the subject of finding your passions, but as Brian points out in How to FINALLY Find What You Love to Do AND Get Paid For Doing It, most books on this topic ask you to think about the DETAILS of a passion-filled life, but they never really tell you how to find that passion to begin with. The details (type of work, ideal work day, income potential, etc.) are just a small part of the equation compared to the importance of finding the passion FIRST, and then working out the less important details once the passionate foundation has been laid.
In addition to the step by step process that Brian lays out in the book, he is quick to also add in that using the power of your subconscious mind is also an integral part of finding your passions. Brian’s system advises you to not only make a consistent conscious effort towards finding your passions, but to also use your subconscious mind as an active ally in the process, and to respond quickly whenever inspiration or “ah-ha moments” strike.
Another thing I love about the book is that there is a 10-question “test” that you can apply once you think you have nailed down your passions. It is easy to get excited about a new idea or a new plan of action, but if the new passion won’t fuel a long-term process, then it’s not really a passion to begin with.
Chapter 5 is entitled How You’ll Know You’ve Truly Found What You Love to Do, and the 10-question test does a great job of separating temporary enthusiasm from the long-term mindset that true passions are made up of.
There are really only 2 ways of making money: You either use your resources to work for and invest in yourself, or you use those resources to benefit someone else, a.k.a. – an employer. Both of those systems have their benefits, and this book does not take sides. Brian has a section about how to make money as an employee while following your passions, and a separate section for how to make money as a passionate Entrepreneur.
Both of those sections of the book include the same “questions equal answers” mentality, and the questions that you ask yourself about how to monetize your passions are the critical first step towards finding useful answers. People who find the wrong answers are the same people who asked the wrong questions. For both the employee route, as well as the entrepreneurial route, Brian lists the types of questions that you should ask yourself.
I was also very impressed with the short, yet extremely useful section that he put together for entrepreneurs who want to monetize their passions. His overview of the entrepreneurial process of making money while loving what you do is only a few pages long, but it covers a lot of ground and definitely points the would be entrepreneur in the right direction.
Overall, the book How to FINALLY Find What You Love to Do AND Get Paid For Doing It promises a lot, and if you are willing to go through the processes described in the book, you will indeed get a lot out of your time investment. Discovering what to do with the rest of your life is worth a little bit of homework, don’t you think?
For me personally, I have already changed my own mindset about the future, and I have a renewed sense of hope and confidence as a result. Even just a short time after reading the book, I have already gotten a huge amount of value from it.
Brian Kim has written a lot of great content over the years, and despite the massive impact that this book will have on the lives of anyone who reads it, the cost is very low.
Big props to you, Brian, and thanks for this great book that will help to put so many people on the right path!”

I cannot verbalize the amount of change brought into my life by reading your articles and your books. I simply cannot believe that there is someone out there who is the voice of the truth and is not out there throwing pieces of information to consumers and getting them hungry for more.
For years I read self-improvement and business/success books and felt great for a while but then I was hungry for more information. I started by reading Robert Kiyosaki’s books and I loved them so much but I felt I needed more info. I ended up buying book after book and still feeling hungry. I had to stop or I would have just gone bankrupt
I came to your site while I was doing research on charisma oddly enough. I ended up reading your articles and felt inspired. I really liked the way you wrote and the definitiveness of the information. I bought the hidden secret first and I was inspired more by how you came across the secret then by the book itself. I knew right then and there that this is how I would write if I ever wrote anything.
The material was great and it cleared out a lot for me but I still felt that something was missing. When you sent me the “How to get Rich” report I knew you had something special so I decided to buy your other book and go through it to find my talent. I thought I knew what my talent was, but when I asked some of my friends to tell me I was surprised AND shocked to see how similar every one of them was!! Like you said, the talent had been staring me in the face the whole time!
Needless to say I was elated. I didn’t even read the rest of it because I knew exactly how to put it to use. As I write to you, I’m in the middle of a project where I’m utilizing my core talent which I hope will bring me my biggest goal in life, financial freedom!! I will keep you updated on it as I have a habit of starting projects and never finishing them. Not this time. This time I’m getting it done.
I cannot thank you enough for the work you’ve been doing and please never change your style. You are like the voice of reason in the success/self-improvement industry. There’s no magic purple clouds and fairy tales in your stuff. It’s pure, hard-hitting, easy to understand and apply information. The $40 invested in your books is chump change compared to the gold that lies within. In fact I think you ought to charge at least double that amount!!
Thanks again,
