Everyone keeps telling you to “follow your passion” and the money will magically show up.That advice is bullshit.In this episode of the Bedros Keuilian Show, I break down one of the biggest lies sold to people in their 20s: that passion and career are supposed to be the same thing. They’re not.Chasing passion is why so many people bounce from opportunity to opportunity, never build mastery, and end up broke, frustrated, and average.Here’s the truth: every path involves pain. The pain of doing the work. Or the pain of being broke.If you only do things when you “feel passionate,” you’ll never stick around long enough to become a specialist, an expert, an authority, or a leader people actually pay attention to. Real money lives at the top and getting there takes years of discipline, consistency, and doing work you don’t always enjoy.If you’re tired of being broke, tired of starting over, and tired of lying to yourself about why you keep quitting this episode is your wake-up call.Choose the pain of hard work… or accept the pain of being broke.DOMINATION DOWNLOADSTRAIGHT FROM THE DESK OF BEDROS KEUILIANYour weekly no B.S. newsletter to help you dominate in business and in lifehttps://bedroskeuilian.com/MAN UP SCALE BUNDLE: $29 (100% Goes to Charity)Get your Digital Man Up book + Audiobook + 2 Exclusive MASTERCLASSES & Support Shriners Children’s Hospital. https://www.manuptribe.com/limited-offerREGISTER FOR THE LEGACY TRIBEGet the Life, Money, Meaning & Impact You Deservehttps://bedroskeuilian.com/legacytribeJOIN MY FREE 6-WEEK CHALLENGE:Transform into a Purpose-Driven Manhttps://bedroskeuilian.com/challengeTHE SQUIRE PROGRAM: A rite of Passage for Your Son as He Becomes a ManA Father and Son Experience That Will Be Remembered FOREVERhttps://squireprogram.com/registerTruLean Supplements | https://www.trulean.com/pages/bedrosGet 50% Off Trulean Subscribe & Save BundleUse Code: BEDROS Few Will Hunt Apparel | https://fewwillhunt.com/Get 20% Off Your Entire OrderUse Code: BEDROSOPEN A FIT BODY LOCATIONA High-Profit, Scalable Gym Franchise Opportunity Driven By Impacthttps://sales.fbbcfranchise.com/get-started?utm_source=bedrosPODCAST EPISODES:https://bedroskeuilian.com/podcast/STAY CONNECTED:Website | https://bedroskeuilian.com/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bedroskeuilian/LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/bedroskeuilianTwitter | https://twitter.com/bedroskeuilian
