Out of college, I had a job that I had no passion for, and I was just following the money. Since then I have somewhat learned my lesson. I "lucked out" by getting laid off 1.5 years later. I stagnated for a while, and moved into a career that I really enjoy, but I wouldn't call it my passion. I enjoy the challenges it provides. I'm trying to follow my passion for photography, and for travel. I think I'm trying to follow a middle of the road philosophy with respect to following your passions. I am trying to automate things, and take myself out of the equation so that I can focus on the part I am mostly passionate about, travel and photography. The automation part of that is all Tim Ferris. The focusing on my passion part is all Vaynerchuk. I am a big believer in following your passions.

Ferris's passion is doing what he wants and staying away from doing things he dislikes like "work". However, Tim needs money to do what he wants so when he has to earn money he passionately finds ways to do it as quick, easy, and effortless as possible.
