I think i will get some heat for it but here is a video that kinda goes against what MJ says, that you shouldn't do what you love because the money wont follow. Here is the video that is a strong argument against it:

Viddler.com - Doing what you love can lead to more than just happiness - Uploaded by garyvaynerchuk


One flawed argument against going after passion is that you can't do it because you are not good at... well... who is to blame for that? YOU! So go bust your a.s.s and become good at it! It's easier than ever to learn stuff with internet. There is so much stuff for free even.. While not everyone can be LeBron James, but you still can choose your other passion or talent and become great at it.. and make money off of it!
