Wake Up and WIN: Ignite Your Passion & Business in 3 Minutes

Follow your passion even when it sounds crazy. So I recently started a new venture that's a little bit crazy. The business is called Guangdao Gaming, and it's around a League of Legends business. So League of Legends is a video game that I've come to love and play, and I'm not that great at it, but I have a lot of fun with it and thought I want to try to turn this into a business somehow because the things I get passionate about, I find ways to incorporate into my life and make it a business. And so the first step of what I'm doing is I launched a YouTube channel. Surprise, surprise, I'm doing video. And I'm being coached by an awesome League of Legends player and coach who's training me on how to get better. And we thought we'd record this series and put them online. The challenge was, what am I going to fit this into my schedule, right? I've got a crazy schedule, I'm doing a lot of different projects. When am I going to make time for this? And the only time that that I had was in the mornings. And so I set up my alarm. I don't usually sleep with an alarm, but now I have an alarm that goes off so that I can wake up and play a video game. And it sounds crazy, right? You're setting an alarm so you can wake up early to play a video game. And, you know, good luck trying to explain that to other people, even explaining it to myself. But, you know, I woke up an hour before that alarm went off. I wanted to make sure everything went smoothly. I was excited by it. We had a great first video, there's more that are going to be coming out, and that's the test. You know, when you are excited by something, when you are passionate about something, when you're willing to set an alarm for something and then wake up even before that alarm goes off, that tells you that you're on the right path. Because too many people try to plan it all out, right? Try to make, make it make sense up here in your head, right? It's got to make total logical sense before I launch, and your assumptions are always going to be wrong. And it's never going to work out like you think it will. And you spend so much time planning that you don't spend any time doing. And what you need to do is follow your passion, even when it sounds crazy. You know, I don't know how this business is going to work out. I don't know if it's going to be with videos. I don't know if it's going to be through an agency, through tournaments, through representing players. I don't know what it's going to be. But what I do know is if I don't do anything, nothing's going to happen. And so by following my passion and by waking up early and setting that alarm clock and getting excited about something, We'll explore, we'll try, we'll fail, we'll make mistakes, and we'll get better, and we'll find our path. And you need to do the same thing too. If there's something that you are excited about, something that you want to try, then start. Start even if it doesn't make any sense, because by trying and making mistakes and figuring it out, you'll land on the perfect business model to help you explode and grow when everybody else thought you were crazy.
