Hi again Jonathan,
Good video (though honestly, the audio sucks), and an interesting test. I think the test really helped me to get a better sense of how I really see the opportunities I’m looking at right now. Of the two paths I’m looking at right now, the one I’ve been working on for most of this year actually scores a bit lower than the other, which has quite recently come into sight, and the first one is also not quite in the 4-5 range, which is important, I think. It has given me the idea to see if there’s any way I can apply some of the concepts in the first project to this newer one… I’ll have to see. So, the test has helped clarify things a bit for me. Thanks!
Cheers -
Doug
Thanks for this Jonathan.
I liked the video and the clear measured way you took us through the six keys. My score was just under 4 which surprised me as I thought I was more ‘up’ for developing my business.
I particularly liked the section on ‘Are you ready?’ It has made me realise that I am not discriminating my target audience as well as I could. The ‘Embracing your passion’ section renewed my sense that my business ( decluttering) is what I am good at- I just need to be clearer about target audience and the sharpen up the value for others.
The test was ‘intelligent’! Asked key questions which took me to take a reality check of where I am at. I now have a great action plan!
Will share this with other self employed friends.
Thanks again. I feel ‘more all in’!

Hey Jonathan…Thank you sooo much for this!! You are da bomb!! Ok – so I took the test and I have to say, it definitely made me think wholeheartedly about my pursuits. I make body care products and I have a book. Normally, people are attracted to the products b/c there is an exchange yet there seems to be more of an attitude of ‘support’ for the book which is wonderful yet I am wondering how that will generate income. Oh and I forgot to mention, the writing = passion for me and the bodycare products = fun… but fun that is synonymous to a good time…sometimes you feel like it and sometimes you don’t type of fun…Does that make sense? So finally, taking the test, question#13- ‘Putting yourself in your customer’s shoes, would you be willing to pay for what you’re offering?’ was key and actually visualizing that, I guess the products outweigh my passion….then I thought, maybe I need to focus on a different type of book or a good screenplay…I’m open to feedback…Thanks again for definitely providing outstanding value and doing something epic!
Thanks for the video, a very thoughtful approach. That is refreshing thank you! (FYI: The audio sounded find on my end… gotta love technology, until it doesn’t co-operate!) I’m taking the test next.
This is something I have been thinking about and taking a closer look at lately. How to take my existing business and turn it into something more authentic and enjoyable.
I have issues playing the video. It keeps stopping and loading every 5 seconds or so. I have tried Firefox and Chrome. Is there a special plug-in needed? I guess it could be that many people are choosing to watch the video right now and the server is slow…

Hey Johnathan just wanted to thank you for helping my recognise my full-arsedness. I’m about to embark on a passion I’ve had since I played with dolls houses along time ago and what you have posted here is a concise system for me to identify the areas that I rock and those I need to strengthen. So thank you for your generosity. You spanked it.
Hello Jonathan:
Thank you so very much for these videos!! You are a very gifted Communicator!
I would say I have been on my own personal journey for what I have termed “My Search For Significance” all my Life(I am a young man of 55:-)) …I have done a variety of things in my work career over the years and now as I get older I feel (especially in the last 5 years) an URGENCY to create a legacy of worth & value that taps my unique gifts in order to benefit others.
My friend Tony teegarden passed your info. my way,,,just at the right time I might add as I am getting ‘deep’ into this ,,,I am Pursuing just what you outlined so adeptly…I have pretty much dropped all my other IM efforts …I MUST FIND, OUTLINE & SHARE My Passion!!!
Thanks again!!

Your video was really helpful as it prompted me to take a look at the past ways of doing things in a conventional manner versus going beyond such boundaries “with no end in sight” for change to occur. Indeed, I need to explore and share my God-given gifts with others.
Thanks a lot.

Jonathan,
Truly inspiring!
And I really, really, really needed to hear what you have to say.
I have been experiencing exactly what you express in your video. Asking many of the same questions (though not to the depth you provide!). Alternating between cycles of doubt and hope.
You hit home on so many fronts, that it felt like you were talking directly to me. You are good!
I have identified what I realize are Passion + Profits ideas, and came to you after having read some business plan articles by Harvard Business (yawn). While these provide the concepts and physical “tools,” they did not provide the spiritual and mental direction I needed. And that was sucking out my passion and increasing my fear.
I see how you have applied exactly what you teach to your life.
And how I have been approaching this half-assed (due to doubts) but also ass-backwards. As *I* am my business plan. And by investing in myself, I can answer a resounding “Yes!” to those Five Key Questions.
I started out in one place
before I watched this video, and now am at a completely different, much more positive place.
More to come.
With sincere thanks for sharing this gift,
Alison
Wow, I’ve gone through a lot of material that is supposed to help you discover a business around your passion and this is the best I’ve come across.
I had 2 ideas in mind when I took this test. The question that really helped to weed out which one to pursue was the question “Is there no end in sight”?
If you love learning about and doing something so much that you can’t imagine an end to the learning and doing, that’s a great indication you’ve got the right passion and I think, something to build a business around.
Sorry the video doesn’t seem to be working for me?!
Hi Jonathan
Thank you for such a great contents! Helped me to consider some things on my path to passion.
All the best from Poland!
Joanna
Well I’m excited! I scored a 4.4 and feel I that answered the questions as honestly as possible.
Thank you for offering the tools you do, I look forward to looking around a little more and share my success as it comes!
As a FYI for you, I could not view the entire test in Google Chrome and needed to open Firefox, maybe worth checking out.

Jonathan,
This is great! I’ve been working on “finding myself” for a while now. I have learned quite a bit about personal living, and I’ve been toe-dipping in the things I love as I’ve recently become a stay-at-home mom, which has given my time to soul search. As many of the comments above, what I thought I’d pursue changed to something that honestly, I threw in there to make 10 choices! But as I considered your questions, I quickly discovered that I have the solution to a problem that is growing every day. My passion is writing, and the topic is not only dealing with your spouse’s ex, but becoming best friends. My husband’s ex truly is my best friend, now. It hasn’t always been that way, but now it is and it’s wonderful. Thanks for showing me that I do have something unique! I will be forwarding this information to several people I think you can help.
Fantastic! It’s great to become attached to other achievers and those that aren’t just looking for the rock in the box to make a million to do what? I especially love the passion for what we need to do and fulfill it. Creating a tribe really caused me to focus. We are getting ready to launch my company over the next month and this is really going to help. Interesting enough we are looking for people who have dreams to help others. We want them to write about it in 250 words or less and in 30 days we are going to reward winners with a little seed money to support their dreams and passions. You are making an incredible difference and it’s great to be a part of the passionate people in life.
Thanks Jonathan for this awesome video. Only recently am I realizing that I should be following my passion instead of being stuck in a life-long routine. I am in the process of exploring my passion and your video & test gave a boost to my confidence in pursuing what I love doing. I hope I can get to meet you someday soon.
Jonathan Thanks so much for this video it really inspire to do what we love thanks again.
Its almost overwhelming how generous you are to share this invaluable information! I’ve been searching for work outside of the 9 to 5 for a while but have never found such concise guidance. You’re right about how great it makes people feel to realize they are a part of a tribe — I feel lucky to have stumbled upon yours.
