Have you ever looked at the life of a celebrity and wondered how they got to the top? Do you find yourself dreaming of the time that you will double your income doing something you love? The thing that really stands out to me about some of the most talked about success stories of the rich and famous is that they did what they loved.

The biggest leap of faith you will ever take is to lead your life doing what you love. If you can do this, almost every time, you will more than double your income. Material gain will be the pleasant side effect of living your life doing what you think you should do.

Now, this secret to double your income seems simple; however, if it were so simple, people everywhere would not be online trying to find the latest way to double your income. They would be doing what they love and there would be abundant success everywhere.

As a result, we've come to admire the people that have lived their life doing what they love and reaped the benefits of success along with it. Naturally, we are magnetized to these celebrities and gurus.

One of my favorite celebrities to use as an example is Ole Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. Frank Sinatra had it all; money, good looks, charm, and perfect pitch. He is one of the best examples I can think of when I say, "Do what you love." To put on the shows he did, he couldn't have done it by himself. He hired people to help him.

Granted, this man probably would have been very successful at ushering people to their seats since he was so charming. He knew how to make money, but he didn't book his own shows. He hired a booking agent. He could even have moved his own piano if he had to. Did he? Absolutely not. He hired people to do these jobs, so he could do what he loves the most. Sing.

Steven King is another one of those success stories that absolutely amazes me. He was a janitor cleaning out lockers when he came up with the story, Carrie. When he realized his life mission was to write, that's what he did. He would probably have done it free--except he didn't.

Now, this man has a library of books. Do you think that he schedules his book tours or helps print out the latest copies of work he's written? Probably not.

Michael Dell, the creator of Dell computers, had his first job working in a Chinese restaurant for $2.30 an hour. He came in early just to be around the wise owner who loved his job and took great pride in his work. I wonder if they talked much about how to double your income.

Tommy Hilfiger couldn't get anyone to buy his jeans, but he knew that what he loved doing was designing clothes. Instead of starting a new pursuit, he sold his jeans from the trunk of his car. Now, he is one of the most respected designers. Double your income? Not Tommy, he's a mega millionaire.

The one thing these success stories have in common is that they all embarked on the quest to live a life doing what they loved.
