Are you one of those people who have a lot of passions and have trouble knowing which one to choose?
When you’re multipassionate, it can get hairy fast. For example, when it comes to your website, do you put everything under one umbrella or keep them separate?
This, my friend, is a struggle that I’m intimately familiar with.
Not being able to just choose that ONE THING to do with your life can be really frustrating and painful. Both for your psyche and for your net worth.
In today’s video, I’ll share two key frameworks that helped me get out of the grey zone of indecision and move ahead as a multipassionate entrepreneur with clarity and purpose.
In the comments below, I’d love to hear two things.
First, tell me how you can apply the frameworks from this video to improve your business right now. Second, let me know if you have other tips to move out of the grey zone of indecision that I mention.
Because whether you’re multipassionate or not, making clear and fast decisions when you have a lot of options at your fingertips is an important skill for us all.

The 10 year question. LOVE IT.. This is what I need to ask myself.. I’m the same. I have 100 interests, 100 skills sets, 100 passions.. but I understand the focus niche piece.. that’s what I teach. Thanks Marie, no idea how I found you, but love these videos..
I agree with the ten year question. That’s awesome. I’d love to know how this can apply to genres of photography- which is what I am passionate about pursuing. I love weddings, boudoir, glamour and fashion (ie. models). Some say you should have a separate website and/or blog for weddings versus all of the other stuff you do. What do you think?
First!!! Love this Q and your A as it’s something that I’ve been dealing with as well. While I have a lot of different passions, for me the way I deal with indecision is to work all of my different interests from a similar angle. I love fashion, writing, travel, blogging, social media and content marketing so I’m taking those passions and rolling them into different sites and blogs under one large umbrella.
However, I am totally with you on building out one area before moving on to the next, so I have my main site as my focus and once that is going well, move on to other areas and apply similar techniques for success.
Thanks for a rocking Q&A Tuesday
Fantastic ‘A’ Marie! This is an issue so many of us struggle with… I have to remind myself from time to time to STAY FOCUSED on my key message ~ thanks for the refresher and for bringing even further clarity to this ‘q’! Love ya!
I learned from Gay Hendricks to spend as much time as I can working in my zone of Genius. That cuts down on too many passions and narrows it down!
You’ve got to niche if you want to get rich!
Great video. What I found is that by simply taking action in one area, i was able to incorporate all my passions into my business eventually. I didn’t even realize I could do it, so I think it just naturally comes forward for you if they are TRUE passions and you don’t force it to work all at once. I feel so fortunate to watch it unfold nicely without me getting in the way.
You had me at “felt like I was schizophrenic.”
I have a business that I am passionate about, however, at the moment I am in the midst of the grunt work on 2 separate projects (plus I have a related job that keeps the bills paid) and just trying to keep up with them has me switching hats constantly–it’s less enjoyable now, but it’s something that I have to see through. Then on top of that, I have a creative pursuit that I would one day like to do full-time, but am right now still working on. On top of this I try to have a life.
Schizo? You betcha.
This Q&A came at just the right time. Thank you, Marie! Tweeting this, as always!
Zinger, Marie! This topic seems to be coming up a lot lately and has been a real sticking point for me. Just because I CAN doesn’t mean I SHOULD…oh, but the temptation is so real!
FYI: my 93 year old father believes that indecision is the cause of more unhappiness in the world than almost any other state of being.
One of my favorite MF quotes is “Clarity emerges from rolling up your sleeves and just doing the damn thing.” Specifically it helps to go with what “seems” to be the right step, moving confidently even though you don’t have a guarantee. No duh, in all the important things in life, there are no guaranteed immediate outcomes. But if you keep working at the damn thing, you do get what you want. xo
Thanks Marie, again, for such a timely Q & A. As a writer with the creative faucet fully flowing, it’s not writer’s block that I struggle with, it’s whether to write the memoir, the business book, the e-book, the blog, or the freelance magazine articles first. I put the blog first, although it generates no income, but it is building me a platform and keeps me toned & juiced. OK. So what next? Books or magazines? Freelance will provide income, which I need short term, and the books are a larger investment of time and will provide a greater payoff, both creatively & financially. Both/and I say!
Therefore, based on my gut, and your wise words, I will keep up the online writing (10/hrs/wk – for me), focus intently on freelance work as my main source of income (20/hrs/wk – making that my main ‘job’), and work on the book (10/hrs/wk – the business one first) on the weekends. My decision is to say YES to my writing, and specifically those 3 for now, and keep the boundaries between them firm, so that each prospers, not suffers.
As for tips on moving out of the grey zone of indecision? This I know well. It doesn’t matter WHAT you choose, it’s THAT you choose. Of course, this shouldn’t be willy-nilly, but the law of inertia can take over: objects that are stuck, stay stuck. You can alter and re-evaluate at any time, so just choose, and get the party started!
“I have all the time in the world”. I said it out loud. Do you have a twitter? Would like to follow.
Camila~
Thanks! On Twitter, I’m @offpeaklife. You?
Thank you, Marie, good stuff as usual.
Actually, I’ve been trying to choose the right way to move forward as well lately, so this advice in really needed.
I totally agree on ‘acting instead of thinking’ framework. The thing is, I think, indecision comes from being afraid of starting to act in the wrong direction. What do you do then? What if you start a serious project and THEN realise it’s the wrong thing?))
Thank you again,
Olga
I agree with Debi, I think that you can find yourself incorporating all of your passions if you just take the next step that you feel inspired to take. Move forward with what you feel in your heart is your next step and don’t worry about how it’s all going to work out. And perhaps some passions are just for ourselves, just for us to enjoy. I have a passion for yoga but that’s for me….I would never want to teach it or do anything else with it other than enjoy it for myself and my body, etc.
I also think that it’s important to really be honest about our true desires, what’s really in our hearts, versus what we “think” we want to do because we’re motivated by money or something else. As long as we follow our trued desires, I think money and everything else will follow.
I live in my head way too much! and I love how you said that to make decisions you just have to take action. That’s something that I have been working on over the years and can still work on some (actually a lot) more. Thanks for the reminder!
Loved this Q&A! I have lots of interests and although I have managed to narrow it down for the time being to launch a business, this is really helpful for all the other ideas I have floating around in my noggin’!
I recently learned (but I’m sure you’re not surprised, Marie) that researchers at the University of Michigan’s found that the ability to make decisions quickly is a dependable predictor of well-being. As you said in the video, it’s also KEY to business success.
I’ve crafted a new offer and I’ve been *thinking* about launching it in October. After watching your video I’ve decided to hand select 3 potential clients and ask them, straight up, if they’d like to join. Nothing like a little engagement to get some clarity, right?!
In moments of decision I also love to remember what Teddy Roosevelt once said: “In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”
Thanks again for another awesome video, Marie!
LOL, this sounds a LOT like me!
Some thoughts:
- Look for ways to combine. Can you be a social media marketing expert for musicians? What about for athletes or personal trainers? The more you can combine passions in a business, the more likely you are to maintain interest over the long term.
- How productive and focused are you in a given day? While I agree with Marie that for most people, picking one is the best solution, there are those (like me) who do better with more on their plate. If you find yourself cycling through projects in a day and find your productivity declining the longer you have to work on something, then you may well be able to handle more than one online business. The key is to focus on making sure every action is in that 20% that gets results, and to find others to help you with the other 80%. You do slow down progress on individual projects somewhat when you take this route, but it is an option.
i remember the first time i heard you say ‘clarity comes from engagement not from thought.” it made such an impact on me because i SO tend to live in my thoughts but i was afraid of doing it wrong. this is such a hard habit to break but today’s video was the perfect reminder of why it’s important to take action. thanks mama!
Thank you! I have been struggling with this Q for quite some time, and you offered up immediate clarity. This is information I really needed :].
Excellent Video… (for guys as well
ty
AWESOME! Great info – as a multi-talented, multi-passion’ed’ person, I can so totally relate to this problem. For me the golden nugget was: “Clarity comes from engagement not thought” – WHEW!!! Thank you!
You always seem to have your finger on the pulse of what’s going on with me personally – how do you do that?
Love what you’re saying and I’ve so found that it’s true. As I grow my business I’m definitely learning where my strengths are and what I’m good at – but I had to actually DO to get to this point.
Thanks for all you do, Marie.
You’re always helpful! “Clarity comes from engagement not thought” – very powerful! Thanks for all your insight
Great vid and advice Marie! I totally GET the multipassionate thing! I thankfully figured that out a while back, and have narrowed it down on my blog. I still tend to do multiple things on Facebook and other social media though, think I’ll re-work that and see if there are any significant changes that occur!
You are always so fun to watch, and learn from! You make it fun! Thanks for everything you do!
Marie, you have taught me sooooo much about this over the 2 years that I’ve been following you. You are a wonderful example and role model of how to be a multi-passionate entrepreneur and do it in a way that gets me where I want to be, and brings in the money, without getting lost wandering around and dabbling in this and that and never really doing anything.
Thank you for modeling this so well and sharing your tips and strategies!
You rock!
I love this question, too! I’ve always wondered about the same thing, because I have a gazillion interests and passions.
Problem is, I didn’t get advice and now I find myself with a handful of blogs I’m juggling. I struggled for months, but I’ve finally found a rhythm I’m comfortable with. I feel now that I’m able to pursue most of the things I love without getting frazzled or neglecting any one of them — well, not for too long anyway.
I think I’m too far along my path to use your frameworks so let me add a tip:
The key is not to compartmentalize ourselves. For example, I’m not just a Mom. I’m a Mom who’s also a copywriter and marketing consultant. I’m not just a copywriter and consultant, but I’m also a baker and crafter.
I’m so glad you tackled this question. I’m sure the frameworks you provided will help many.
Great Q + A, Marie! I definitely struggle with this one and I know a lot of other entrepreneurial types do too! Thanks so much for the advice!
This quote from a true artist seems appropriate here:
“It is good to love many things, for therein lies strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done with love is well done.”
- Vincent Van Gogh
Thanks Marie. I believe sooooo many of us struggle with this. We are not two dimensional; humans are juicy, 3D creatures with many facets. It’s had to flatten ourselves down into 2D for the digital world. It feels confining.
Great stuff Marie, I struggle with this as do 99% of the entrepreneurs I work with. I like to remind myself that I can do it all but just not necessarily on the timescale I have in my head! Slooooow it down….

I love “You have to take action, in one direction or the other, and start to feel your way.” (literally backed it up 3 time to make sure it really sunk in). I’ve felt like I’ve been jumping around, throwing my ideas out into the world, and making a huge mess. But at this moment I can see I was simply “taking action & seeing what feels right”. And Eureka! I think I’ve found it with my most recent ebook. It’s creating chatter on the ‘inter-web’, bringing up lots of fears inside me (good sign I’m on target) and this one little ebook has people asking “what’s next?” – and I have the answers! It feels like it’s falling together, embracing a lot of my quirks & passions (not all). But is also focused on a niche I love to work with.
I think this is the “It” for the next phase of my business life. Knowing full well I can start on something new again, after really sinking my teeth into this one. Love, love this topic! Thanks for giving me a little extra peace of mind this morning. ~ Loralee
You’re awesome Marie! I can totally relate to you and this particular topic. I too am a hip-hop dancer, I love marketing, fashion, and have many passions. I too at one point wanted to become a professional hip-hop dancer around the same age and had the same thoughts. Focusing on one niche has been the biggest struggle for me. But you are absolutely right that ‘clarity comes from engagement not thought.’ Continuously thinking about something and never taking action will lead to the repeating of these thoughts in your head and drive you crazy. When you take action and engage, you answer your own questions, relieve anxiety and decisions are made.
Loved this video! Because I’ve been there.
I’ll be asking myself this more when it comes to the big decisions — If I don’t do this NOW, will I regret it in 10 years?
Just bought my ticket to RHH Live! Yay – no regrets =)
in a word….SUPERDUPER!
I was struggling with this until recently. Now it’s all about getting organized.
On Hedgehog & Rabbit, I used to post my business struggles and discoveries along side my crafts. I even wrote it into my about page as if anyone who came to see my crafts would also like to see how I worked as a business. They didn’t. But I did discover through all that, that I love helping people create a cohesive brand across all platforms, so I removed the business aspect from the blog and started a whole new venture with it. Since I already had a little content to start with, it’s been easy. The hard part will be pricing my product for value and figuring out what to offer for free. *sigh*
Anyhow, this was an awesome question from Ricky and, though I already knew about your multiplicity, it’s always refreshing to hear about it from someone I admire. Thanks a bunch.
I have been in “schizo” mode for awhile. I have so many passions in life and I have struggled with this same issue. I love the advice…thanks!
Good point, Marie
Can I put my own spin on it?
=====
Imagine a one-year old child that is focused.
Imagine that one-year old is on a focused mission.
That mission is to ‘learn to walk’
First I shall walk, it says.
Forget everything else. I’m going to learn to walk, and that’s it.
And then I shall learn to talk.
And then I shall learn a language. But only one language at a time.
And no one-year old does that at all
One-year olds have complex behaviour.
They’re learning to walk, talk, balance, fall, speak, laugh.
And do it all at once.
Because one-year olds don’t read books on focus
They don’t have some sage old guru whispering ‘focus thoughts’ in their ear.
And so they do what the brain does naturally.
So what does the brain do naturally?
It does the same thing you do when you’re driving.
It can enable you to change gears, listen to the radio, eat a banana, speak to a passenger, and still enjoy the stunning scenery.
All while pumping blood to your heart, and helping the body fight germs, among other things.
And that’s brain function in a nutshell.
The brain network is like a complex bunch of highways, that crisscross, and yet meet.
The more the crisscross, the more the activity in the brain.
We think that focus is all-important
But in fact, that ‘intense-one-thing-focus’ is actually counter-productive to the brain.
So how do we know this to be true?
Imagine if your brain only focused on what your feet were doing while driving.
Imagine if it only focused on your hand-movement.
Or your head.
Maybe it figured that peripheral vision was a bit of a distraction.
You’re getting the picture, right?
The picture about focus is horribly um, unfocused…
The most intelligent people in the world don’t concentrate on just one thing.
They work on many things. But not simultaneously.
And when I say ‘simultaneously’, I don’t mean ‘all at once.’
The most intelligent people on the planet (both past and present) usually have a zillion projects going.
Yup, at the same time.
What they learn to do is compartmentalise
And compartmentalisation is different from focus.
Focus (at least how we’re taught) is to keep our heads down and master one thing till we get it.
And compartmentalisation is doing many, many things in the course of one day, one month, one year.
Knowing of course, what you’re going to do. And then setting the hours, weeks and months–and years
aside to do what’s needed.
In any given day, here’s what I do, for instance
Let’s take today for instance.
I’m learning about RSS Feeds to iTunes.
I’m learning about Photoshop techniques.
I listened to a presentation about how we’re asking the wrong questions about ‘cancer’.
Based on something I heard, I’m listening to classical music (something I never did before).
I’m writing this article too, as you’ve figured out, on an abstract topic of ‘focus.’
And then for good measure I’ll draw some cartoons and learn some colouring techniques.
And people would consider me talented.
And focused. Like as if I was born with RSS in my brain.
Hah!
Ho! Ho! Ha! Ha! Ha! Hee! Hee!
I had to laugh you know.
Because the smartest people on the planet are considered talented
But they’re not.
They’re compartmentalised. They learn lots of things. And then apply lots of things.
And then their brains put five and seventeen together and makes forty-four.
Where as those that focus, put those numbers together and make twenty-two.
You think Steve Jobs is focused on computers?
Go speak to him. See how many topics he has a complete mastery over.
You think Warren Buffet is focused on money? Go speak to him as well.
You think the top brains in the world are focused on one thing?
Uh, huh…
The smartest people know that single-minded focus is counter-productive
They know that the understanding of sound can improve a golf game.
Or an understanding of music can improve their timing in a presentation.
Or an understanding of cartoons can improve their knowledge in the world of search-engine optimisation.
The smartest people do lots of things.
But don’t believe me.
Find the smartest person in your town.
And go see the proof for yourself.
It’s focus that causes us as individuals; as business owners; to lose our way
We’re so focused, that we’re blind to every thing else.
Focus isn’t where it’s at.
Compartmentalisation is where it’s at
A child does compartmentalisation.
As in:
I’ll learn to walk right now.
Then I’ll say some goo-goo-gaa-gaa things.
Then I’ll crawl a bit, because hey, I need to work on my balance so I don’t fall over.
And I’ll do all of the above in the next twenty minutes.
Compartmentalisation of many, many activities is what’s important
Ask any one-year old. Or really smart person.
And they’ll tell you.
In three different languages, probably
When I saw this week’s question, I wondered for a moment, “Has anything changed since 2008?”
2008 was my first attempt to work solely for myself in a full-time capacity–as a Coach/artist/writer/photographer.
I was trying to get coaching clients, create art and book and hang art shows, write and get my articles published, and book photoshoots.
Nope, nope, nope.
In 2010, I entered the market again, this time just focusing on what I was most passionate about–Coaching, and doing it full-time instead of just part-time. This time, I’ve actually seen momentum!
With that said, I’ve found that my Coaching focused has moved away from just one-on-one clients–I’ve been able to use my “other interest” in writing to create downloadable material. Sometimes when I’ve felt a bit tapped out on writing, I’ve updated my blog with a quick but fun photograph. There are lots of ways to incorporate the things that we love into a main passion.
Most people want to do everything. They want to do blogs, websites, video, Twitter, Facebook and add another twenty thousand things to that list. What’s worse is that they get bad advice. People giving advice tell you, you should branch out, do different things. And that you if you do different things, you can become good at all of them all at once.
I agree—only to disagree. Yes, do twenty thousand things if you wish. But understand that it’s like spinning plates. If you spin one plate, then you can indeed put another plate. But that assumes you then are still in a position to spin the first plate.
At all times, the plates need momentum. The more you put on, the more you have to watch. If one stops, then the whole thing crashes.
This plate spinning isn’t marketing. It’s management. It becomes a nightmare in management more than anything else. If you can be brilliant in one field, then you can indeed go on to other fields. But would I recommend it all at once? I’d be very un-keen to do so.
And I take my own advice. I stopped cartoons to do marketing. And now that my marketing sites are well and truly spinning, I’ve gone back to cartoons (not commercially though).
Now I have the ability to spin several plates without losing momentum.
If you’re just starting up an online or offline business today with a store and no staff, etc., you could still do a few things but nowhere close to what you could do in the future. Always make sure you have resources in place, before doing several things at a time. And there’s a bit of a caveat too. Not only do you need the resources, but you also can bet that dozens of things will go wrong. And you’ll need chaos time as well.
Spin all the plates you want. But first get started with one. Then even as that is spinning, add another. And another. But make sure that you can keep them all going. And you can see that Marie probably writes her own scripts, gets involved in the strategy, and delivers the video to the audience. And at the same time she’s probably crazy busy with the upcoming conference (which I’m sure will be verrrrrry cool).
This plate-spinning is multi-faceted, but as you get better at it, your brain doesn’t have to work as hard. Or you can get help (as Marie does).
But you can manage it. And you can do it faster than ever before. So what am I saying? I’m strongly suggesting you spin plates. But don’t try start with eight at once, will ya?
Thanks Maria! terrific advice – and exactly what I needed to hear today!!!
The 10 Year question answered it for me. I could’ve stopped there cause it truly hit the nail on the head.
But, also needed to hear that focus and kill it in one area first – to be successful in online biz! and a great reminder that focus doesn’t mean ignoring your other passions.
A million thanks!!
Wow Marie. That’s exactly what I needed to hear
Thank you 
Hi Marie,
I’m definitely multipassionate aka ‘schizo’ as well! I’m a dancer, a teacher, a math & science geek, an entrepreneur, a coach, and so much more. I’m always doing ‘too many things’, but that’s the way that my personality works. If I ever focus too much on one business or job, I get depressed and a lot less productive.
I really like your distinction of taking action to see how it feels rather than trying to work it out in your head. I’ve found that to be so true – gotta start moving forward on something, and then you can always change course once you’re going.
Thanks for a great video!
Hi Marie,
I am new to your site and to the whole RHH concept, but so far, I really love what I see. This latest post really resonated with me because I am just starting to build my holistic and metaphysical healing practice and in the process of doing that I am also continuing my education and going after several different healing certifications. I never really thought about it much until now, but practicing all of these different modalities means that I won’t be focusing on the 1 or 2 that I love the most and honing my craft. I know I still have a lot of work to do, but your post helped me to see the light in this area; for that, I thank you.
In terms of what else people can do to get out of that “gray zone,” I will share something that I just came to terms with last night: Take baby steps. I tend to be the type of person that is impatient and wants what she wants right now, and I’ll be honest – Giving into these instant-gratification impulses has always caused me problems thus far in life. Therefore, I am challenging myself, and I’ll challenge anyone else who is up to it to take baby steps each and every day towards what we want our lives to be. I have a strong feeling that when all is said and done it will be well worth it.
Great video! PS- You look totally skinny!
The biggest thing I’ve learned when it comes to indecision is just DO IT! You might fail (multiple times) but then you learn what you like and what you don’t like. You might think you’re passionate about vegan food and want to start a coaching business and teach it to the world. Try it. You might realize that’s really not what you want to do for a living, but at least now you know. Or, you might absolutely love it and start bringing in the cash.
Action is the key! Then you really figure out what you lovvve to do.
Hi Karie,
You’ve got a great point. It’s better to make the choice (and risk possible ‘failure’) than to never do it at all. You could end up loving it.
Thanks, Jennifer! We can all drive ourselves crazy with ‘thinking’ about what we want to do. I have learned SO much through just doing, doing, doing even if it doesn’t work out exactly as I wanted.
Hey, Marie
Great advice! I’m right at the same crossroads as Ricky, so this Q&A is great for me.
Thank you for your positive outlook, your spirituality and your passion to help others.
Way to tap that A Marie!
Just recently I had to reign myself in again because I wanted to go off and start creating on an old project… but I have this big dream project that I know will change people’s business lives, so I’m just going to put my energy there until it’s ready to blossom. Yeah!
I happened to be watching this video with my husband who happens to struggle with indecision paralysis as well. He found your approach very amusing to say the least! Personally, I agree…when I’m torn on a choice, I often realize that I need to make some sort of movement and see how things feel. Thank you of the great reminder that this is a legit approach!
Thank you so much once again for this great video! I love the idea of asking myself if I would regret not to do something in 10 years… While you were speaking, I tried it with a few things… and there are some things I wish I was doing now but I know I wouldn’t REGRET not doing them… It helped me clear my huge list of passions!
Thanks Marie! What a great question to keep yourself in check…asking whether you’ll regret “not” doing something in 10 years. I am going to use that often!
As far as being multi-passionate, awesome advice too…notice how you feel about something. I ask myself: Does this give me energy or drain my energy? That’s an immediate indicator on whether to go forward or not.
I think that in order to move out of indecision you have to learn to be very truthful with yourself when something isn’t working. A lot of times, resistance to change (lack of self honesty) will keep you from making a decision to move forward.
I LOVE Q & A Tuesdays! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hey Marie,
So THIS is my niche… Multipotentiality.
I agree with a lot of what you said, but not everything. You actually can include many topics in one business IF you have a strong overarching theme. Take Chris Guillebeau, for example, who writes about travel, productivity, personal development, self-employment, etc. These topics do not seem disconnected or out of place on his blog because he has a strong overarching theme: non-conformity.
Tyler Terveroon writes about everything from mountain climbing to business to dating. His overarching theme? Risktaking. It works. It feels cohesive.
I call this model the Renaissance Business (just wrote a book by the same name).
Your advice here is helpful for some, I’m sure. But this type of advice is actually the reason that many of my clients come to me. I’m known as the coach who’s NOT going to push you to “pick a niche”. My main focus (talent?) seems to be helping people come up with strong overarching themes to bridge the gap between many different passions. (I totally have a thing for synthesizing ideas. So nerdy. Heh.
Anyway, wonderful video and great topic! You’re awesome.
Hey Emilie – supa fast, I don’t disagree with you NOR do I push people to choose a niche (umm..have ya noticed my business? There’s a best-selling relationship book, hip-hop dance videos, business advice and personal development, social entrepreneurship, etc.) So… I agree AND it’s impossible for me to convey my entire philosophy on this complex topic in one video that’s under six minutes long. Plus, one approach does not work for every person. The strategies change depending on the individual, their unique strengths, etc. Some people thrive working on multiple things and, others will never gain traction unless they get one area cookin’ first. Great conversation though and I really dig what you shared!
Yeah, we’re in agreement. And you’re totally right. Your biz is an awesome mishmash of interests. Didn’t mean to be accusatory, it’s just a sensitive topic for my puttypeep. A lot of the business gurus out there do like to encourage us to deny our multidimensional selves, and it drives me crazy. I always feel like I need to stand up for ‘em/us.
But yeah, clearly you are one of us.
OMG can I relate! And as an expat trailing spouse I can do whatever I want – which was a bit intimidating at first…now I am coaching others through similar situations…and still doing my food thing as a club, which lets it happily reside on the side, not pressuring me but just available for my lovin’ when I choose! Great sifting process…love the 10 year question for that. DANKE from Switzerland!
Oh, I could have written this question myself. As a B-schooler (who loved it btw), my life came to a complete halt trying to figure this all out. I’m still working on it and gaining more clarity at the time. Biggest problem is that I just didn’t want to undo all the work I had already done and leave behind the little bit of following that I already have especially since it addressed my target market.
Yep. I am a seriously multi passionate person and I felt every bit of this question. Every bit!
what I keep in mind is that marie is multi passionate, but i have only ever seen her promote ONE PROGRAM/EVENT at a time. You can have it all, but not all at once!
Great Advice Marie.
I’ve been in this same exact struggle! Many tools and pieces that I have knowledge and training in, as well as the variety of person I work with…..and JUST KNOWING that others struggle as I do is good for the soul. The whole “knowing I’m not alone” is HUGE!
As per what I’ve done to help myself, this is it:
What I’ve been focusing on now is taking an inventory of those that I AM working with and which ones really JUICE me up. Which area of my expertise am I continually going back to – so in essence, I’m observing my own actions and where I am the MOST useful for people. Then, when I have a great session with someone I say “I need MORE of that!” – and this is slowly forming how I am going to present myself and my services on my website.

Totally needed to see this today.. I’m gonna stop referring to it as “ADD” and start calling it “multi-passionate”
Again thanks for the great advice!!
Love your work Marie! Found myself in the same predicament as your letter writing dude earlier this summer, and before I started panicking, I found myself just diving in, taking the actions necessary to “find a real job” like applications, call-backs, CV, resume and cover letter connecting, while I stormed ahead with making a website for a “sideline” business, doing the word-of-mouth work, AND made physical room by clearing out space in my home and setting up a work space for “passionate” silversmithing activity. Well, guess what? Even though I did not secure a “real job”, the action I took to get one sharpened my skill-set enough that I was more successful lining up clients for the “sideline” work, that provided funds which included a few materials for the “passion” silversmithing work. I hear things like, “Wow, could I hire you to help me do what you do?” and “What in the world would you want to have a cubicle job for, when you have all this great stuff going on?” So—long story short—-the action helped bring into focus ($$$ & otherwise) what was going to work for me at this time, and what people were happy to pay me for. Be bold, be passionate, be in motion—thanks Marie!
You totally kicked A** with answering that question! HA, loved it!!!
The quotes were pretty smokin hot too!!
Thanks Marie, I get asked this question a lot by students. Your answers gave me more ways to help them! You ROCK!!
AGain…You are reading my mind when you chose this question of the Week!
I am exactly doing this…both equally passionate business products…Seems I’ll have to listen to the Advice, “He who Chases 2 Rabbits…catches None”…!!!
Keep hearing that “Clarity” comes from “Action” as mentioned by our mutual friend and amazing mentor Katie Freiling…& Also you State once again the same major Message…”Clarity comes from being Engaged”!! Makes me want to just make some forward steps….regardless…& see what opens UP!
Thanks for your words of wisdom. & Thanks Ricky for the Great Message!!
Cannot put a price on that 10-year question. Kills months/years of ruminating in less than 60 seconds. Brilliant, as always.
As an expressive arts therapist, the most rewarding flow where it doesn’t feel like work is when I share my gift of encouragement. My grey zone comes from also being a writer/artist who is passionate about wellness, spirituality & parenting-in-the-city. Applying the video frameworks feels clear, integrative & whole. Focusing on encouraging others ‘through’ my writing, art, coaching instead of feeling “Ok, now I have to create art. Now I’m writing an article… ok, now it’s time to be a consultant/educator…”
Thank you, Marie for showing me that chasing two rabbits was just so not the way to go. xx.
Glad to see I’m not the only guy who gets lots of value from the Q&A videos. Love the advice on action being required for clarity to surface. That’s definitely what’s help me hone in on my business concepts and determine which one I wanted to go “balls to the wall” with. Keep up the great work!
Oh Marie,
I just adore you. We have a very similar style how to talk etc. Anyway, I have struggled with this for awhile now. I love Coaching and Facilitation of Self Development Work and I love Fashion and Art etc. Great advice. My focus is going to be Coachin and Facilitation but gosh I am going to weave in coaching on fashion etc! You are wonderful! While I want to sit and meditate on things, I am also going to just DO alot more!
Love your stuff! A fellow coach… Gieselle/ GIGI Poveromo
Love, love, LOVE! Have had this conversation with a few friends lately – and just tackled it for myself. For years, I tried to figure out how I could be a branding consultant AND still write restaurant reviews AND still talk about cool wine finds AND still be an actress AND still write aritcles and books.
As of YESTERDAY (crazy timing, eh, Marie?!) I relaunched my business and site to get further in that direction. After years of mulling it over in my head, I too got tired of indecision and finally sought help with a coach to get feedback, clarity and objective advice. This pushed me farther along than I ever could have gotten on my own.
Two things: First, absolutely, you need to start from a core base first and then its easier to expand out. For 3+ years, I separated my branding business from my food/wine writing. Now I’m in Phase 2 of combining those loves. The trick (putting on my brand consulting hat) is to FIND THE THREAD. What ties all these passions together? For me, branding, marketing, writing, acting, etc was all about “storytelling.” And that is now my framework: How to tell a good story – in your biz, on the page or on the stage.
Second, YOU CAN DO IT ALL, BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO IT ALL AT THE SAME TIME! For me, this meant maintaining a separate personal blog for a while that I will now fold into my business blog. I had to establish my expertise as a brand strategist first, I wrote a book last year and now I’m in a place where I can integrate my passions more fully into my work. My ideal clients are not repelled by this: they are actually attracted to this multi-dimensional and personal persona. And those are the people I care about.
I hear that all the time: Will I repel business clients by talking about (x)? Truth is, you need to establish that credible base first and then expand outwards. This may mean separate threads for a while that you will at some point combine into one powerhouse brand that is uniquely YOU.
Thanks Marie (and Ricky) Super groovy question!
Great question. I’m in the midst of wanting to do all I’m called to do right NOW. I’m the mental schizo at this but you reaffirmed my decision to do just one for now!
The most helpful piece in there, for me, was your observation that clarity comes from engagement, not thought. So good.
I’m stuck at a bit of a crossroads right now, and I need to get out of my own head! None of us has a crystal ball (so sad!) and it’s so hard to know which passion to follow. Which one will lead to happiness, fulfillment, and success? Time isn’t infinite, and by choosing one path, you have to leave some things behind (or on the back burner). But I think instead of endlessly stewing and thinking about it, it’s important to get out there–like you said: engagement! Throw out a few little pilot projects and see what kind of feedback you start getting (both external and, probably more importantly, internal)…and start heading in that direction. I think if you’re open to the signals, you’ll be shown the way. That’s what I’m hoping, anyway.
Yes! Exactly! Time to get out of my head and start taking action. I agree that the more actions I take the clearer the answers will be.
Marie! you hit the nail on the head! I was thinking early on that I was schizophrenic too!! Now thanks to YOU, I can refer to myself as “multi passionate”. Today’s video makes total sense and while I have discovered that I am wanting to add all of these additional aspects to my biz – my true passionate and niche lies in being a Stylist! Focus on that number 1 and all else will fall in line right!? Truly Marie! What would we all do without you!? If you ever need a stylist – hit me up
although you do a mighty fine job on your own. Love everything you wear in your Q & A’s!
P.S. Thanks to the gent that asked the Q!
This was so helpful! Goodness, I used to be in the throws of big depression with the multi-passions issue! What I’ve gleaned is that online I’m doing the right thing – focusing on Etniq Minerals and creating an awesome brand and company with it. In the rest of my life, I can focus on my dance career – I’m like you – if I don’t push myself to do the great things dancewise that I know I can (salsa is my genre) – I’ll definitely regret it in 10 years – no good at all:).
Thanks Maria!
Thanks Marie, what a happy, refreshing start to my day. I have a similar question I ask myself when racked with doubt: when I’m 70 years old, will I wish I had done this?
It gives me courage and perspective. Also loved your take on clarity!
Great advice Maire. First, if we spread ourselves too thin nothing gets done and second, better to set out to be an expert in one field and then let your reputation and credibility take you onto the next passion.
Cheers
Rosemary Breen
Hi Marie
Great info, I’ve been struggling with this subject for a while!
Thanks you.
Ellen
Marie ~ LOVED the Q&A this week and seriously look forward to watching your video’s every week so freaking funny, inspirational and educational!!!
Thank you for all that you do!!!
xo
Like everyone else on this list, I totally needed to hear this. And, coincidentally, I was going to ask the SAME question for Q&A Tuesday last week. Then, this morning, before watching this video, I saw this quote on Facebook “”One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.” – Tony Robbins
I guess when the Universe wants to hear you, it gets really frickin’ loud! Today’s message was unescapable.
Thanks Marie!
I struggled with being multi-passionate for a long time and I wanted to share what helped me move through it.
I knew I had a love for alternative health and healing, spirituality, counseling, connecting with people, dance, yoga, food, etc. I remember going back to school thinking that I’d feel “complete” after my degree was done. But I always felt even more lost and unsure how to combine my passions.
So I thought I’d get little certificates and degrees here and there to combine all of my loves (homeopathy, counseling, acupuncture, herbalism, yoga, spirituality, nutrition, chinese medicine, ayurvedic medicine, etc, etc) and somehow make up my own business because just doing one of them never felt complete.
My mentor told me to ditch that idea and just get one degree with a doctor title. So I chose to become a Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor. She said that with that degree I would have earned the freedom to CREATE THE PRACTICE I WANTED. By bringing all of my passions under the umbrella of being a practitioner – I could pull on any of my resources to help people.
So you don’t have to choose.
Get this, my accountant calls himself a HOLISTIC ACCOUNTANT. He chooses to only work with clients he has a heart connection with and wants to help guide them spiritually to be the most successful they can be. He is amazing, successful, and genuine.
You can be it all. Define your own life. Don’t let your job title define you.
This is so great, Tara. Thank you for posting it. I’ve struggled with my umbrella, which is very similar to the things you mentioned in yours & am just beginning to pull it all together. I help people integrate their Whole Self – spiritual, sexual & everything in between. I do this through my practice as an intuitive spiritual guide, combined with my years of experience as a musician/performer. I do energy readings & use music & movement to integrate the energies of body, mind & spirit (the Whole person). This process creates magic – joy, freedom & passion within a person. From that base, she/he can create love, money, contentment. People can really step into their power when they begin to integrate, instead of having all their energies segregated & compartmentalized.
Wow, Tara. I actually had to re-read the beginning of your post, thinking *I* wrote it. I haven’t met ANYone into the same things as me, right down to ayurvedic, tcm, nutrition, everything!
Looking forward to hearing more from you. Off to check out your site
We may be kindred spirits!

Your inappropriate is the new appropriate!
Marie you gave me permission to be multi-passionate by example – and it’s working well for my sanity!
I’m so enthusiastic about my new biz (helping people grow their own organic food, at home) I wake up every morning with passion.
I’ve been a contemporary artist for ten years and when I let my old list know what I was up to, over 1/3 of them signed up for my new free weekly newsletter Sprout! Just goes to show, people who love you will follow you through different phases of life and often times, even seemingly ‘different’ passions can link in with each other to help serve your customers.
thanks so much for all you do. xxx
Thank you Marie for adding a new word to my lexicon! Multi-passionate is such an empowering word for what I’m sure most of us beat ourselves over the head for – it’s always great to reframe negativity. I suspect you could find a positive wherever you look
Like some others above, I love the “clarity comes from engagement, not thought” comment, and find this has been so true. My passions currently run in four directions, and while I spent so much time putting the first three of these together, I forgot to notice if they were actually working. And so I added a fourth which was more in line with what I know I can do right now, and it has made all the difference. So the others are on the back-burner, but I still intend to give them a little focus when I have the fourth rolling.
I would add to those who are also going through so much indecision some advice that I got myself which has helped my focus enormously, especially being someone who has stretched all my resources to breaking point while being distracted by my multi-passionate-ness – and that is, during my ‘work’ day I ask “Is this aimed at producing immediate income?” and if it is not I take up one of the things on my list that is. When this focus brings me some bucks, I then do one thing on the list of non-immediate income tasks. That way I satisfy my multi-passionate side while also keeping the landlord happy! And my husband can stop asking me when am I gonna get a real job
Great advice Marie! I have been dealing with this too. I have several passions and I am doing my best to focus on one niche in my website. My blog focuses primarily on helping Moms cook healthy foods for their kids but I feel I have been getting off subject lately and not getting as much done. Your advice was just what I needed to stay within my niche and keep my passion a float by helping others.
Once I build the foundation of my information, I will expand on other areas.
Thanks!

Another great video Marie!! That’s one of the things that first attracted me to your site: you weren’t just “another” ‘Internet Marketing Coach/Guru/Expert” – but you had all these creative passions that you were successful at in the past and present. Plus, I love that you are yourself in your videos, and you’ve found a great way to effectively integrate your many gifts into each lesson, without making it confusing.
I genuinely look forward to EVERY article and EVERY video you post because of that. Keep doin’ your thing pretty lady! You give us recovering scatterbrains and multi-passionate folks hope
“You’re gonna get into trouble if you try to do too many things at once.” Amen Marie.
I’ve got 5 things I’m focusing on right now…building my private clientele, getting corporate clients, promoting my group classes, applying to a teaching job, and oh, I’m directing a play too… AAH!
Putting these in priority order now and tackling one thing at a time. There is time and there is space for it all.
Thank you Marie!
Wow this was my Q and A today – I am very pasionate about marketing, technical “behind the scene” website building, video,, social media, product creation, buisness building, coaching, spirituality, animals, kids, relationships, making money online… the list could go on!
My biggest obstacle has been focusing my online business on one nich and it has been for a long time. And you are right… you can’t domminate if youare all over the place.
Great advice… I have one more:
If you are down to 2 or 3 choices, you can try to: 1) Try to combine them into a “blue ocean nich” or 2) Imagine if you had to choose only one, which one would give you the most pleasure to focus on or… which one would it hurt the most to let go…
Love

What a great question. That was an even greater answer and a killer video with a Confucius animation to boot! Love the saying about chasing two rabbits! This makes me think about people such as Da Vinci & Ben Franklin and the many interests they had. Of course there was no electricity and the various distractions that developed because of it. Wonder if Mona Lisa would have had a Facebook page? Great topic- thanks for the article & video, and thanks to Ricky for asking the question.
Marie, your advice is 100% spot on, and what a great and tasty topic. When I was young I struggled with this a lot, as we all do when making career and life decisions. I had many avenues open up to me, and I knew that whatever I did I had to succeed in it. The problem was choosing. In the end, I focused quite narrowly on becoming a fashion designer, and made that my goal. I stopped writing, didn’t go into the sciences like it was suggested to me, and let go of all other creative pursuits I was interested in to pursue the thing that had always held my interest the longest, which was fashion. Glad to report that today, my career path has morphed into something that is 100% me, but it only came as the result of putting my foot down and making a decision in the first place. Had I decided to put some of my energy into writing and some into fashion, and some into whatever else I was interested in, I don’t know where I would be right now, but it wouldn’t be here!
Everything I like and am curious about still informs my work, but focus really creates momentum and velocity. I think that’s definitely how I gained so much clarity in my career path so young, simply from making the decision and committing to it.
Wish you’d write a post instead of video. Who has time to play a video?
One of your best videos ever–made me laugh and made me think. I agree wholeheartedly with your thought of deciding your niche through experience. Just try it and you will know…thanks for all you do to inspire!
Hey Marie! Yup I’ve totally been in this situation. In addition to my PR Consulting, I also work as an actress and a TV Spokesperson. I used to keep this separate, but I found that people would actually contact me and even hire me because of these other “passions.” Instead of doing a complete re-brand, or mix-brand, I just updated my About Me page with this info and also added my TV clips and modeling tearsheets to my Press page. This has worked well so far until I revamp my brand in 2012 with some exciting new things
xo
This is the best answer ever. Action, movement, trying things out – this is such great advice and so many people need to have it drilled into their heads. Thank you for your insight.
Thanks, Marie! I needed this like 2 months ago at the start of B-school!! Anyhow, I am in a more “centered” spiritual place right now, so the timing is perfect…. as it always is, right? I have some writing to do on my passions…..Goal: by Friday decide which direction to head in andTHEN listen to my feelings after I go balls to the wall!
I have a tip!!!!
I get that we need to make a choice and totally go for it but how do we actually decide which passion is the hottest?
Here’s what I ask my clients when they need help choosing a focus: “What do you actually want to do every day?”
1. How do you want to spend your time?
2. Which of your passions will get you there?
More often than not, the other passions will still get worked in there.
Hello, Marie, ladies and gents
This video helped by confirming that what I did was right, doing something every which direction I could, until something materialized, started to bring money and keep me busy.
I also think that each passion can be developed in a different brand. If there are a few passions that work together in one brand, organically growing, great! If not, there is always another brand, completely separate, that can be developed. As long as it is coming from love, it will all come together.
Thanks Marie, as always!
I LOVE this line: there’s no requirement to marry your career. You can fool around or even take a break. You are so right and I have certainly lived it.
I stared as a HS English teacher because that was one of the acceptable careers for women at the time. After all you needed summers off to raise your kids, except I wouldn’t have any. Then off to corporate management, commercial horse breeding, and owning an art gallery. Entrepreneur ism was calling along the way, it just took a while for the moth in me to find the scent. When I did, I’d found my mate.
Thanks for an inspiring message with all the particulars to help it connect.
Oh how I struggle with this!! Forget for a minute that I can do, and love to do a bunch of things almost as much as photography (particularly writing)….let’s just go with the photographer thing. Because yes, in 10 years, I know I will still be doing it.
I have been photographing weddings for 20 years. I am at the top of my profession, and it has been a lovely ride. But I love so many MORE kinds of photography and I struggle with this balance between breadth and focus.
I shoot weddings, lifestyle portraits, interiors, children, maternity, fine art, travel, fashion, and more. Honestly, I can shoot almost anything, with generally great results. But in this age of focus and specialization, I find it very hard to move in any new direction when I love them all….and I find it hard to be ‘known’ for anything when I am not putting enough energy and focus (no pun intended) into just one thing. Ironically, I learned about you from a woman who shoots just one thing: boudoir. I love that too, but I would find it so limiting.
Last month I shot 2 weddings, a couple of family portraits, lots of interiors, fashion portraits for various bloggers, some underwater maternity photos, and just the random travel stuff I love (which is now being sold as fine art). I am exhausted, and I feel schizophrenic!
How do I survive as a Jack of all trades, master of none?
On mySomeday.com, we typically have people listing a lot of passions/plans. That said, we’ve found that the people that are ultimately successful in achieving their goals tend to put one of those goals in focus. Being multi-passionate makes for a balanced and fulfilled life but if you want to see that passion become something more, perhaps a career, it might be worth focusing the time/energy in one direction for some dedicated period of time.
Let me tell you from experience that trying to focus on too many things at once never brings multiple successes, it only brings multiple frustrations.
Focus on one thing, get it working, then move on to one other thing. Rinse, repeat.
that this video came in just now is really amazing, because I’ve just decided to choose. As a multi passionist I understand that it’s better to commit to the one niche, since a niche really needs to be discovered and even created. This takes more then just thinking about a subject, it’s about involving yourself in to other peoples way of thinking – really that’s the only way you can work all the different channels such as social media etc. What helps me clear the grey zone is a combi of head an heart: what makes me happy to think and communicatea lot about?
Just testing my new gravatar LOL
I just turned 16 and I read Marie’s book last year, I must say…
Im a really good student and Marie’s tips have helped me alot, I am super confident right now and its all thanks to her 
She is a complete inspiration for me! Seriously, Im not working right now, Im studying but I would like to be succesfull In the future
I totally know when I was there. Great question. I found that using the profit clarity exercise from RHH B-school helped me to see where the $$$ was coming in help me to focus where to put my energy. Then I do not have to run in circles. Taking action from feelings + using the feedback helped. Failing fast + having fun. Lastly, I found that by integrating my yoga teaching, coaching + love for personal development set me in the right direction especially when I found that many peeps on my list are into yoga. Oh, second exercise from B-school was my customer avatar, that helped me a bunch. Can’t wait for RHH-Live, it’s gonna rock. xo H
Such good advice, as always. And hilarious too lol. Anywho, this helped me with my many passions in the art world. I am currently developing one and asked myself a lot if I should do all simultaneously. But now listening to your Q&A, I have a sense of direction in regards to what to tackle first. Thanx Marie, keep rockin.
Hi Marie,
No disrespect meant by this… Like I said in my comment, I believe we’re ultimately in agreement. My response video is meant more for the multipotentialites who are in the audience, than it is for you. Non-the-less, I did feel the need to put my thoughts out there:
http://puttylike.com/a-disturbing-trend-in-the-blogosphere/
I do love this post! The quotes were pretty smoking hot too! I’d love to read more.
Marie!!!! i LOVE this answer. This was the A I was looking for at the LWL event last month, and it is as I suspected. Thank you *so* much. I’ve been waffling a bit on my new direction, and the way you “tapped this A (from many different angles)” just closed the back door. Hah Ha
I wish more people had the heart and insight to tell multi-passionate entrepreneurs this.
I think when I first came across you I breathed a big sigh of relief, because OMG I’ve had the most random career ever – 50+ jobs in my life – talk about being multi-passionate.
However, I’ve had so much success this year because I’ve been working from my strengths PLUS what I love doing. I realised that just because I’m good at stuff, doesn’t mean I have to make a business out of it. Being a multi-talented Virgo means that I’m a little bit good at everything – Jill of ALL trades and it was exhausting mentally and emotionally.
B-School was a great kick up the butt by the way!
So basically what you’re saying is that all of those business books were right about narrowing down to one thing. You have successfully blended your writing, relationships and online marketing pretty darn well though! You’re such a great example of being passionate about many things and building an online brand. Love it.
Hey Rachel! This is one of those areas that doesn’t have one, clear cut answer. To be clear, I’m not saying those business books were right. The only way for me to eventually discover my focus was to be UNFOCUSED at first (i.e for many years) and pursue all of my passions
Marie, I appreciate the clarity in your response. The video was a little confusing based on what you’ve created!
I am also having a challenging time with this subject! I’ve got an established styling business (www.IntuitionStyling.com) that appeals to both men and women and a new, much wilder FunFashionFairy blog (www.FunFashionFairy.blogspot.com) which is turning me on and unleashing my creativity! I can see myself creating tremendous information products with both of them. I don’t want to kill the established business but I have definitely created some confusion in my 5 years of growing a business and now, finding new ways to express myself more fully.
They are both inter-related and I have no idea right now how to “umbrella” them. I’m hoping you’ll feel inspired to do another video on this subject.

One thing I am finding about doing my site is that it’s almost encouraging me to explore most of my interests: creating graphics, 3d graphics, writing… I’m even finding a new passion or two like video editing (Guess what? uses some of those others
. I’m glad I got to find your site and see this because it does give me hope.
Also heard your story through Amazing Self (which is why I sought out your site in the first place). I can definitely relate to having several passions pulling you in different directions. My biggest problem, to date, has been not really engaging them, but I’m going to start doing more, starting today!
Thanks for sharing!
Follow your bliss. Or “blisses,” as the case may be!
Amen!!! to Following the Blisses!
I’m having some breakthroughs! I’m going to rebrand under my name to fit it all in.

I’ve just recently figure this out. DUH! For 3 years, i’ve sent out resumes to catch a job that would cover my costs while I build my freelance business. But my mentors all said pick a niche, and base it off your past experiences.
The ultimate question: WHAT AM I REALLY?
Recently decided to ‘let go and let God’, so to speak. Came to see that I can build on my lifetime passion of healthy living and really pull it all together.
I must admit that it’s fear that pushed me to try and be all things to all people. Or should I say: Be all things to all potential employers and clients. It made sense, but it didn’t make me happy or make me any money.
Great advice!
Loved this and love your style Marie. I always smile all the way through your videos and take so much away from them. Thank you.
Thanks for the fun vid – it’s one I had not seen! I am VERY proud of myself for narrowing it down to my 2 passions: social media consulting (makes me $$) & recording voice over tracks for businesses around the world. I’d like to concentrate more on the latter & move everything over to it – but it will still take some time to get there…Best to you Marie!
great advice marie
than you so much ..
Wow…finally an answer, something to think about to my question – 3 passions, which one do I seek?
