I'd take a guess that one of the reasons this is what you know best and have the most success with is because you love what you do. Something drove you in the beginning to pursue your particular field of expertise and if you are any good at it, it becomes almost a part of who you are.
One way you find out real quick is when you try to retire. For instance, after playing on the road for 20 years in rock bands...I tried to go "cold turkey" in 1998 and stopped playing in bands completely. Just stopped dead cold after playing all the time from 1978 to 1998
Well, the very first night that I sat at home (I played 6 to 7 nights a week every week of the year until then), I felt BAD. I couldn't take it. I felt like I was not doing what I was born to do. But at the same time, I was tired of traveling.
So the next thing I know...I'm in a male strip show and wrestling at a local indy pro wrestling fed...just doing anything to get in front of a crowd and entertain. Then I picked up that damn guitar again and joined a local band playing weekends.
So I was wrestling on Tuesday night. Male strip show on Thursday nights. And playing in a band on Friday and Saturday nights. And during the days I was running all my TGPs AND shooting all the content for the company I owned then (Pure Candy Images).
And then I felt complete. lol
I can't STAND to have free time. It drives me nuts. I love showbiz too much.
