Thank you Stephanie for taking your time for this - but no, it didn't clarify it.

On the contrary, your explanation only makes it more confusing for me: first you say that having a mentor is key in finding one's passion - but in the next sentence you say that "each person needs to discover on their own what that is." and there is no how-to to it.

So what are you saying exactly? Your title is still How to find passion - but you don't say practically anything about THAT.

And no, I disagree: having a mentor is NOT always necessary in finding one's passion!!! Many of us simply KNOW what is it that we are burning for, sometimes from childhood on.

On the other hand, for many people who do have difficulties in finding their passion, indeed there exist specific procedures that help to do that. One would suppose that you did this training targeting it.

It's fantastic that you write a training based on your personal experience - but unfortunately it just does not broadly apply.

I hope I didn't break your enthusiasm - it is simply that this subject would need a bit more substance, if you do a training on it with such a much-promising title.

You're 100% correct! If we have a strong enough WHY? then the HOW becomes easy to work through...

Wishing you the best of luck!

Thank you for the explanation. I was thinking of creating a new domain, even though its along the same lines as my previous one. I had already created the website, can I add that straight away, or do I still need to create a new webpage?

Hey! I'm assuming you've got this figured out by name... but I definitely would not purchase a new domain for the shopify store.

A subdomain is certainly a decent option.

Though I'm curious why you wouldn't consider just creating the shopify store on a page within the main domain?

Thanks! 1st off that is a GREAT quote from Richard (?). I have written it down. 2nd I love that you say in your video: '' my dream hasn't changed, just the deadline''. Well put and something to remember! :)

Hey Oscar!

Welcome to WA and thanks for the follow :)

I'm definitely no writing coach, just a 21 year old gal who loves writing, but thanks for the compliment!

Obviously, we all want our work to be absolutely perfect. Yes, I've done what you do - revise and revise and revise and revise some more. However, no one's perfect and therefore your work doesn't have to be perfect. As you go through the courses you will see that Kyle often says - just post it! it does not have to be perfect!

We are writing for our readers and so yes, our content does have to be up to par and professional, but we don't have to be crazy about it. I know that when I've reviewed and edited my work, I was usually happy with the new choices I've made and I felt it really enhanced the piece. But then I would take a step back and think to myself: 'Does that change really make a difference to the reader? Will my reader get the message and appreciate what I wrote if I hadn't change it?' Very often the answer to these questions will be no and that'll help me realize that while I do have to proofread and edit my pieces before I publish them, checking and rechecking them more than a couple times is completely unnecessary and in fact, just wastes time...

It took me a while to get out of that mindset, but the more I write, the easier it is for me to be confident in my instincts and stick with my first couple editions.

With regards to your second questions, my initial reaction was 'what is this guy talking about!?' :) but then I realized, yes, you're right. When a topic comes to mind that I feel passionate about, very often I'll have a specific phrase or way of explaining things that I want to use. In that case, I will try my best to get that into the paragraph and work other words around it. But, if I find it to be unnatural or it takes away from the paragraph - or even doesn't add to it the way I thought it would, I'm comfortable changing it. It's all about how the words flow and how the reader will enjoy reading it...

Try to keep that in mind - it's not necessarily how you want to write it, but how the reader wants to read it.

I hope this helps... Feel free to PM me any time if I can be of service :) Best of luck!

Stephanie

I really enjoyed your post. I opted to read it instead of watching it.

When I write, I revise my work many, many times. Is not unusual that I go over the same three hundred words up to ten times, sometimes even more. Often times I make subtle changes, other times I replace key words that lead to a completely different sentence, and more rewriting. The Thesaurus is also a close friend of mine.

Do you revise your work constantly?

Another thing I do is write combination of words in my head and then shape the paragraph to complement the phrase I thought was fetching. Is this a common?

I've never had a writing coach and you seem to have some authority in the subject, so I thought I ask.

Thank you for sharing your this post.
Oscar.

Thanks for sharing that :-)
Can I count on seeing you there too?

Wow! Ok, well then, by all means, let's change that!!
How many folks attended last year?
