Lesson: Monetizing Joy

How important is it to enjoy what you do for a living? Some would say it’s the most important thing. After all, the average person will spend 90,000 hours at work in their lifetime.

As long as you get paid for your efforts, it matters little if you enjoy yourself or not. Whether it’s doing what you love, loving what you do, or doing it for the money, I’d like to hear you express your thoughts on the matter.
