The common advice to simply follow your passion is dangerously flawed and often leads to career dissatisfaction. True fulfillment comes from becoming a master of your craft first.
Following your passion can lead to chronic job hopping and self-doubt because it creates unrealistic expectations.
Adopting a craftsman mindset means focusing on what value you can offer the world rather than what the world can offer you.
You must engage in deliberate practice to stretch your abilities past your comfort zone and acquire rare skills.
