Over the years I've been blogging and doing business online the first questions that pops up from readers usually goes something like this;

> How can I find something that I'm passionate about and build a business from it?

I smile because they have the answer right in front of them...

Part of making money from any business is LOVING what you do!  ❤️

And your audience can see through the *'fake it until you make it'* act so it's critical that you love and *I mean LOVE* what you do.

I think that's why I'm so in love with the Steem blockchain and everything about it.

**And now, time for some transparency...**

You see, I've been working for myself for almost 20 years. Mostly online and via my written word (blogging, emails). And I still have an inner voice that tries to talk me out of pressing send on an email broadcast or publish on a blog post..

*"Why bother...No one cares what you have to say..."* 😥

I'm my worst enemy as are most creatives I'm sure. I'll try to talk myself out of doing anything productive some days because I'm scared I will fail and never get any traction from my audience....But then, something kicks me in the rear end and I remember this simple truth...

> Your job is to create! And do it the best you can every day. The people that matter will pay attention, everyone else just hasn't met you yet ;)

**Which brings me back to Steem...** 😃

- I love to write, so blogging on Steemit is a no brainer. I get to share my thoughts, my dreams, my goals and my failures for all to see... *(Have you been reading my HODL challenges? Urgh what a disaster LOL)* 

- I love interacting with people in a live environment, so apps like @dlive are perfect for me. I get to share my experiences there, [do a book giveaway every Monday](https://www.dlive.io/#/@jongolson) and talk about all I've learned over the past 7 days.

- I'm addicting to reading! And with @dtube I can [vlog about which books I've read](https://d.tube/#!/c/jongolson) and helped me on my journey. What better way for people to see my excitement for a fantastic book I just finished. I hope the books I recommend can help every Steemian out there!

- I love to share ideas, discuss crypto, Steem, marketing and online business with others that share my passion. That's why I started the [Tuesday Noob Night podcast](https://dsound.audio/#!/@jongolson) on @dsound

- And heck, I even play some video games then and again...So I'll stream on @dlive so people can watch the 40-something grown man beat the *young'ns*.... ;)

**And it's all here....On Steem!**

You can pick one app or all of them and showcase your passion with the world. Maybe you won't get a whale upvote today, and the only people reading your blog is your family....*But stick to it!* 👍

Here's the secret about building businesses, brands and relationships online.....

> **99% of those that try, give up after 3 months. Maybe even sooner...**

If you want to create something epic, **stay the course.** Pick your passion, and use one of these amazing apps on the blockchain to put it out for the world to see. And then keep at it. For a year at least....And then see where you are at!
