Part one: Put your passion into your work

I had the privilege of attending the annual National Association of Broadcasters event in Las Vegas. The Rainmaker Network was in full swing at the G-Tech/Hitachi booth. I got the chance to meet lots of media and tech professionals from all over the world. Lucky me!

A lot of the professionals that I spoke to all drove one point home: Put your passion into your work. You can't drive creativity without passion. It doesn't matter if you're an accountant, designer or marine biologist: you have to find what you love to do, you'll never work a day in your life! It is important not to be swayed by trends but to tap into your real interests. Even if you don't know exactly what you want to do, start somewhere and begin exploring your options through volunteering, internships or continued education. The more proactive you are about your passions, the happier you'll be in the long run. Being fulfilled and passionate about your work is incredibly rewarding and starts with a few small steps. Stumbling is allowed as long as you continue to move forward.
