Why 'Follow Your Passion' Is Terrible Advice

Today, we're destroying the biggest career lie that's keeping you stuck: You need to find your passion before you can do meaningful work.

I'll show you why "follow your passion" is backwards thinking that traps high performers in endless searching, and how to flip the script by becoming so skilled at something valuable that passion naturally follows your competence, not the other way around.
