basically, the title
How did you discover something that you like to be doing and that earns you money?
If there is something you know, even to just an adequate level, there is someone below you in knowledge who will want to learn how to get where you are. But, you must get over the imposter syndrome in such a case - and preferably, always keep sharpening your skills.
Anything can be monetized in such a manner - if it can be taught, it can be monetized.
From there it’s simply the matter of figuring out the angle of how you want to approach it.
That’s simply one potential ways of how to monetize - there are many other ways, often dependent on what activity you are trying to do so with. Here you’ll have to be guided by your own understanding of the activity and your business acumen (which can be developed).

My problem is moreso that I don’t know what activity I want to do it with. It’s as if any activity becomes extremely boring as soon as it turns into “work”

Try Genesis, Ascension and GLM. Ascension and GLM clearly showed me the way. Genesis is originally designed to help you to find your activities.

Need to change your viewpoint then. Work is simply another level of delving deeper into your activity. A professional versus a hobbyist is an incredible difference in skill and understanding of the chosen craft.
A professional will be faced with challenges a hobbyist has no clue they even exist. Funnily enough, this is often the case with subliminals as well, where people sometimes come to us asking how to become professional subliminal makers, while thinking its all sunshine, endless cool experimental titles and rainbows - it’s not.
As to how to choose which activity to take further, that’s on you to decide. You can try deepening your understanding of all of them and seeing which interests you the most. Or dipping your toes in and doing some smaller paid work for it - quite effective.

Creators know better, but, in my opinion, from my own experience with Emperor and from the product description and just a deductive logic, Emperor serves best when you have an established and firm foundation. In your case, a manifestation of such foundation is having an activity you are passionate about and (not necessarily though) can be monetized. Until then, Ascension, GLM and Genesis are probably the best you can find. I myself have chosen Ascension and GLM because I want address own foundational problems.

Thank you, that actually has been a really helpful reframe
I see. Thank you, I will consider those. What about Ascended Mogul instead of Ascension though? For additional money scripting

You may use Ascended Mogul instead of Ascension. I’ve stopped at Ascension because of some personal preferences, including that AM is denser than Ascension solo. With EOG ST2 you’ll be satisfied with just Ascension alone, I guess.

Thank you for asking this question and opening up this topic.
It’s really important, and current, to me too.
@Fire ‘s responses are extremely helpful.
Really, really helpful.
He gets to the heart of the issue and clarifies what I, at least, struggle with.
We take what is an emotional, motivational, and confidence question, and we disguise it as a ‘knowledge’ question. Like someone who is actually afraid to jump in the water, requesting increasingly complicated ‘swimming techniques’.
Every time you give the person another swimming technique, they imagine a situation where ‘it won’t work’ and then request another technique for that imagined situation; and they continue to postpone getting in the water.
That’s similar to my situation.
As for subliminals, I’m using Genesis to work with this. Check out the program copy and see what you think. But if you do, be sure to read the whole thing.

Go where your heart feels so good.
People enter into business because they saw it is trending but they are emotionally disconnected, so sooner they loss that connection and the interest is gone.
When you have a passion your always attracted to it and when you mix it with business, guess what will happen next.

I disagree.
Go where the money is. Your heart can very well be into something that hardly monetizable.
Find out where money is already being made. Find out how it is being made and who is making it. Then do what they do. You don’t have to love something you make money at it. Just make sure you don’t hate. Emotional neutrality is one of the best qualities anyone can develop in business.

the thing is, I start hating what I do once it turns into work
Like sure, I’ll be enthusiastic for a while but then it just gets progressively more boring until I just can’t do it anymore
I just brainstorm with ChatGPT nowadays, it’s quite good.
Some days I use Perplexity ai.
Just ask ur question and also describe any hobbies or things that you do and also add : you can ask me any questions if necessary to the prompt.

Money could be fake, that is the reason why so many people are hook on investment scams (just like what you said ‘where money is already being made’) where people ‘thinks’ they are actually ‘earning’ money from the investment.
The heart never fails, it knows a lot of things where the mind only knows something.
Take for example I involved myself with community service where I collect waste plastics, I end up recycling them for money.
I don’t like investing in crypto because my knowledge in cyber security holds me back, instead I did so much more, because I choose to follow my heart into the deeps where only few take the risks.

and fire’s right anything can be a business, like I read about a guy who sells potatoes with a message written on them, he makes good money with it.
Just imagine, selling a freakin potato with a message written with a marker. It sounds crazy but its true

Anything can be sold.
Do both. Be passionate about it and make it make money. Easy? No. It requires a lot of thinking through, planning and deep introspection. But once you do, you’re good to go for a long while.
If you cannot do that yet, do something to keep you going. No point in being a starving artist.
There are 18 year olds making more money than 99% of people out there - there is endless untapped potential just waiting for the one with enough ingenuity and discipline to make it happen.
I’ll give you another example of how you can monetize. There is a forum individual who has to take care of his elderly parents and yet is unable to make money with his IT business for years now - solution?
In my opinion, complete pivot, let go of what doesn’t work (IT business) and do something else. There’s actually a very clear opportunity here for him that he can tap into with years of experience.
Let’s see if anyone can guess what it is. Hint, you can come up with it by just reading this post.

What about elder care consulting or caregiver coaching?
Additionally, they could create a digital product, like an online course, ebook, or support community, focusing on topics like managing elderly care, handling stress, and balancing personal life. This pivot would capitalize on their unique experience and meet the growing demand for resources on this topic.
