Black female entrepreneurs reveal the secret to living your passion

 

Bookcover

Nationwide (BlackNews.com) — Motivated by Passion, Held Back by Fear by Tchicaya Ellis Robertson, Ph.D. and Sheila Taylor-Downer, Certified Life Coach, inspires readers to break past the familiar boundaries of inertia and begin living with passion. Among the many valuable lessons they offer readers, the authors teach that by focusing on our passions, the money will follow, that we must cultivate our natural talents, that big dreams equal big rewards, and warns that if we do not choose our destinies, someone else will.

To help readers to achieve these goals and be successful in their quests to live their dreams, Robertson and Taylor-Downer provide the 10 Key Principles of Passion:

To live your passion:

* Trust that wealth will be the natural progression of focusing on what makes you happy.
* Be persistent and don’t quit.
* Have faith that God will give you the wisdom and the guidance to find your passion.
* Believe in yourself and in your ability to live your passion.
* Ignore the naysayers.
* Do something, no matter how small, every day that will move you toward living your passion.
* Set goals, make plans, follow those plans, and measure your progress.
* Take calculated risks.
* Develop your natural talent because the better you are at it, the better you will feel about it.
* Dream big or go home.
* Lead by Example.

The authors urge readers to reflect on their natural talents, as “Once you find it, you’ve found your passion.” Although you may have a natural gift, taking classes or lessons to excel in your chosen area may help you to hone your skills and give you more confidence in pursuing it professionally. Robertson and Taylor-Downer teach readers that “doing what makes you happy IS what will make you rich – rich spiritually, physically, mentally, and yes, financially.” Once you have removed the boredom and misery in your life to discover “richness and fulfillment,” the financial reward follows.

While big dreams reap big rewards, the authors urge readers to “reframe your dream as a goal” and then to “reduce that goal to a clear and measurable objective” and write a “vision statement” which is a statement about where someone sees themselves in the future. Although every pursued dream involves a degree of risk, it should be taken after it has been calculated and weighed.

Motivated by Passion, Held Back by Fear takes a practical approach to pursuing dreams that is equally inspirational and applicable. Robertson and Taylor-Downer help readers to unlock the potential that their lives hold in a calculated manner that is manageable and approachable, providing solid advice and helping readers to realize that the seemingly insurmountable is indeed within reach.
