(8) Don't follow your passion, chase the money.

I admit, this is a highly debatable topic on the internet where following your hobby is the "recommended" advice.

Still, whatever your hobby is, you need to be able to monetize it on some way. If it's say, gaming — you can stream it, or even sell merch. (Any hobby works as long as you can find a wake to make money from it)

This is why I stray away from the advice of following your passion because that 1st thing, that 1st passion won't make you money.

On my case my #1 hobby is reading books. Can you make some money from it? Maybe, but not a living.

What else am I passionate about then? I find what of them is writing and there are many ways you can monetize writing from blogging, copywriting and even ghostwriting for Fortune 500 CEO's

Main Takeaway: Don't stop find other things you are passionate about, because you'll soon find out what are the other hobbies you'll love AND make money from it.
