"Here is to the crazy ones, the misfits and the rebels" That was Apple way back in 1997. They had a point. Today, in our own backyards, in our own homes, classrooms, and office blocks, there are misfits that are being vilified.
We do not understand their passion and their purpose. We do not understand their commitment, vision, and ideas. So we want to stop them dead in their tracks. In this episode, we look at the first two ways that we stop them. Stay tuned.

One of the greatest enemies in my work is the status quo. The other one of course is ignorance. These two coming together have killed dreams of different visionaries the world over.
Day in and out, these visionaries are misunderstood because we feel like they do not toe the line.
They are not like us. Such weird people can be found in our houses, schools, and office blocks. Daily, we have no idea what we are doing to stop them because we do not see what they see. Listen to this.

There are several reasons why in your pursuit of passion or purpose, you are not earning enough. Probably you have just started or you have been at it for ages but there are only trickles to show for it.
Some of the reasons why that is the case are covered in the 8 episodes prior and this one just summarizes all of them into one episode. For the most part, people would rather take a job than pursue their purpose because of the different dynamics in monetization.
Listen to this.
They say that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Quite instructive. I normally poke holes in some of these nuggets. For example, what if the bird in the hand is lame, or has a defect?
Will it still be worth two in the bush? Well, that will depend. In pursuing our purpose, we soon enough become weird in the eyes of our friends and loved ones. The greatest question they would be asking is: Why is there no money in your purpose pursuit?
In this episode, we look at one more reason why that is the case.

When someone is told, "Go get yourself a real job", chances are that that someone was pursuing something of passion or purpose. Now, a "real" job has some guarantees.
You know that you will earn X amount of money consistently in a certain period. That gives you certainty. You know that your bills of survival will be covered without trouble and as promised.
Not so with Purpose pursuit. As much as there are misconceptions in purpose pursuit monetization, chances are that you are the one shooting yourself in the foot for not monetizing it. This is one way that happens.
