Build your own platform

I’m sorting through notes in my oversized Evernote inbox and I came across a quote from Rian van der Merwe’s article titled “How to do what you love, the right way” which I mentioned in my post about doing what you love a while ago. How often does doing what you love seem to translate automatically into “quit your job and go build a new business in a coffee shop”?

That might be the way to go for you. Often, though, doing what you love may well be possible in the company you already work in and you just need to think a little differently about it:

Doing what you love doesn’t necessarily mean quitting your job and starting a coffee shop. Most often, it means building your own platform, and crafting your own work, one step at a time.
