I'm a proponent of following your bliss.
Here are some examples of people who did just that...
Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Warren Buffet, Tony Robbins, etc
They will tell you that in the beginning there were lean times. During times of struggle, they would never consider quitting. Why? Because they were so passionate and in love with what they were doing.
Many Millionaires will tell you they worked a "job" in order to finance their dreams and pay for their living expenses until it got off the ground.
Make a decision to follow your bliss and be willing to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. Invest your time wisely, utilize a mentor or coach to help you. Decide exactly what you want. Do something every day to learn, grow and advance in the direction of your Goals.
Live Your Dreams,
-Jill
