How Passion and Persistence Create Real Success

In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast I talk about how I do not see my business as just being financially rewarding. For me it is about freedom, control, and doing work I believe in. I compare money to happiness—if you chase it directly, you never find it. I see a lot of false promises online about easy income, but real business takes long hours and persistence without immediate payoff. That is why passion matters. Without it you will not stick through the work. I say if you love something, like origami or gaming, and put in consistent effort, you can eventually turn it into income, but it will not come overnight. My passion is video production, marketing, and helping business owners grow their audiences and revenue. I often work sixty to eighty hours a week, sometimes for free, but I love it. I believe if you serve others, solve problems, and stay committed, the money follows in time.
