Pilot your life newsletter no. 20: Be passionate about what you do
1. Pilot your life
Welcome to issue no. 20 of Pilot your life. February 2011
If you’re going to succeed in life, or business, you have to believe in
what you’re doing and do it with gusto. Half-hearted attempts just
aren’t good enough. Passion is what’s required.
I love my country, Australia.
I love travel, taking photos, doing adventurous activities, meeting new
people and I particularly love flying.
All these things that I have a passion for I managed to combine in the
goal that I had set myself, flying around Australia’s coast in a light aircraft.
During my trip, Oz Flight ’99, people could sense that I was passionate about and
committed to the journey that I was undertaking.
They wanted to be a part of it too by helping me, giving me good information and advice,
providing new experiences and having a lot of fun together.

If you aren’t enthusiastic about or don’t believe in what you’re doing, then other people
won’t waste their time with you either.
When people read my book, Plane Reflections, or hear me speak about my flight, they can
relate to what happened to me because of my enthusiasm. I can make them feel that
they're in the plane with me experiencing the same highs and lows.
And with the photos, they can see what my eyes saw.
But best of all they realise that I'm just an ordinary person who made a dream reality and
that they can also do that for themselves.
They too can achieve their full potential.
It’s truly amazing that we have the power within us to motivate other people and to change
lives merely because of what we do.
2. Pilot your life
So, my next tip for how to pilot your life (personal or business) is:
Be passionate about what you do.
Your passion and enthusiasm will also inspire others,
not only for your benefit but also for theirs.
