slide 1: My True Passion Combined With Compassion
“My mission in life is not merely to survive but to thrive and to do so with
some passion some compassion some humour and some style.” This just
about sums up my persona and the way I journey through life. This famous
quote by Maya Angelou signifies the importance of empathy inspiration
and motivation and these are all areas which I would like to promote to
you via my blogs.
Welcome to my first blog on true passion combined with compassion. Now
you may be wondering whether there is actually a difference between those
two words – passion and compassion. Well in actual fact there is a huge
difference between them. The concept of passion is a strong compelling
emotion or feeling – a feeling of love hate and desire. Compassion is the
ability to show sympathy and concern for the misfortune or unhappiness of
others.
Let me begin by introducing you to myself and why I wish to write these
blogs on motivation compassion and passion. My name is Shane Jeremy
James and I have always been business-headed. From the ages of 16 I was
reading business articles and learning the art of business. I even started
selling hockey cards – not a business I know but obviously demonstrating
sheer spirit and entrepreneurship
Growing up I had two passions. My first passion was hockey. I loved
hockey and although I loved the sport and was pretty good at it if I do say
so myself I knew I would never be able to make a career out of it. My
dream of joining the NHL faded and I knew it wasn‟t meant to be. Instead
I focused all my time and energy on my second passion – the passion for
business. Not only was business something I wished to pursue but also
knew that I wanted to make something of myself – to be successful to be
known to make a difference
When it comes to business many businessmen focus entirely on money.
For me it is not how much I earn but how much I could make a difference.
Of course money plays an important factor and the fact that your hard
slide 2: work can earn you profit is obviously a plus. However I love to make
money knowing that I made it doing a worthwhile job.
A little more about me and business knowledge… I have built from the
ground-up many businesses. I was the first and youngest entrepreneur to
bring the „Curves for Women‟ franchises in Canada. That to me was a huge
achievement. The franchise became a 10 billion pound franchise in a time
frame of just 10 years. 10 years Can you believe it It took McDonalds and
Subway 25 years just to hit sales in that region During my time as a
successful businessman I have written four books which are all available
to you via Amazon. Two of my books networking to Wealth and Think Act
Love Lose Weight clearly emphasize my passion to help people like you to
make the most out of their lives.
My love for passion and business blended together effectively in order to
create my next movement in business. I knew that I wanted to put my
stamp on the world and create a difference. Thus I built my business and it
became a huge success. With over 200000 followers on twitter I was able
to inspire and motivate people from around the world. The response from
this business interaction was incredible. The aim of my business was to get
people to get people involved. Their job was to do one compassionate act a
day and post it online. This proved to be a tremendous feat.
So I launched a brand new company and called it Actions of Compassion.

My next move was to start the Everyday Compassion Movement web series.
I believed this was the perfect step to take Actions of Compassion to the
next level. However all businesses have setbacks and this happened to me.
What I thought to be a short-term project turned into a project which took
twice as long. But now I am happy to say I am exactly where I wanted my
original idea to be. We have created 32 compassion episodes and I really
believe this will inspire and motivate everyone who watches. Check out
