I know I said I was only going to post travel related stuff from now on but I couldn’t resist posting this motivational video.

Gary Vaynerchuk is a great motivational speaker and in this video he talks about following your dreams and doing what you love. If you hate your 9 – 5 existence, you’ve got to get out of it and do what you love. Create a site about something you are passionate about, build it up with content and over time you’ll make money and be able to live the life you’ve always wanted and you’ll be happy. It takes hard work, patience, and persistence but you’ll get there in the end.

This is why I want to take this blog to another level. It has been great having this as my personal blog to write about what I’ve been up to but I’ve never taken it seriously or thought that I could actually develop it into something more. Why can’t I make travelling my business or earn money reviewing the films I love to watch?

I do make my living on the internet but I’ve done that by creating websites around products and services I have no interest in. Do I really want to spend the rest of my days writing about the top dating sites for people over 40 or the best places to play bingo or some crappy anti-wrinkle cream? No, I certainly do not. I want to write about what I love and that means travel, movies, and food with a little photography mixed in. I’ve got to focus on what I love, not on the easy money because I know it will pay off in the long run.

Life is short. Don’t do something you hate for a living. Follow your dreams and don’t give up!
