“With the right tools, anything’s possible…”
As it turns out Live Your Legend is not the only website out there looking to help people do work they love (who would have thought?!).
In fact, this site would not exist if it wasn’t for many of the other sites out there that have inspired, taught and helped me along on my journey and my thinking. Live Your Legend is the sum of the sites, books, tools, experiments, case studies and people I’ve talked to over the years. That’s how I found my passion.
I’ve spent a ton of time digging through what I’ve found to be the very best resources in all of the internet for finding your dream career. This is meant to be your master resource. Bookmark it and come back as you see fit. In fact a number of the folks who run these sites are among the Expert Interviews and Case Studies as part of the How To Live Off Your Passion guide.
The sites below are in no particular order aside from the fact that the first group of sites are run by people I know and who have personally inspired me. Then I’ve listed other highly ranked resources further down.
These folks are all part of the revolution and I thank them for that. Together we are changing the world.

I'm an entrepreneur, coach and author of Live Off Your Passion, here to help you build a career around work you Love. I'm also a tad obsessed with, life experiments, adventure & learning. 
101, OMG they are lot of people to follow, may be i can choose top 10 of them.
Indeed! I’d say start with the first few and the ones I listed at first (1-55), are all you really need. The others are a bonus but the material in those first 55, that I have personally gotten benefit from, is enough to make very big things happen.
9. Career Renegade. But so many new ones for me to review. Thanks for sharing such a great list, Scott!
Jonathan Fields’ work is nothing short of epic. I actually just interviewed him as one of the Expert Interviews in the upcoming How To Live Off Your Passion eCourse. Can’t wait to show you all!
What a great idea to share all those hot links! A great resource to have – thanks.
Enjoy Suzi!
hi brother an sister i am very happy about the good helpi am see now an i will want to thanks every oneabout this good work
Wow! You did your homework for this one!
I LOVE this list! Thank you for sharing- it’s always so nice to discover new like-minded sites!
Oh, and my top site for helping me realize that blogging can really change people’s lives is NerdFitness.com . This blog showed me that it was possible, and was the main inspiration for starting my own.
What Steve has done at Nerd Fitness is something all of us could learn from! The sites I listed above are more directed toward purpose work but once you find what you’re passionate about then going out and finding awesome models (like Steve in your case) is the next most crucial step!
Thanks Amy. You site looks really really good by the way!
Scott
Thanks so much for featuring Leave Law Behind. What a great list! A lot for me to review and reach out to and learn from.
Thanks again
Casey
You deserve it Casey. I really like the niche you serve (moving from a career in Law to something more meaningful). It’s a place so many people are in pain and need major help. Thanks for contributing!
thanks for the list of inspiration. i’m searching for my passions and next step in life
Perfect Noch! I have a feeling How To Live Off Your Passion- the upcoming course, will help a ton!
Great list and thanks for taking the time to put it together. I was already following a few on your list and now I have added several others to my RSS Reader.
Awesome Abby. They are doing some epic work. I have them to thank for a lot of what exists here at Live Your Legend. Especially the first 55.
Wow, what a comprehensive and useful list!
I am familiar with some but there is so much more here. It may take me a week to check it all out but I am sure there is a lot of wisdom to learn from.
Thank you for sharing this.
Pleasure Yuval. Do yourself a favor and just pick a few from near the top and soak those in. You can always come back to the others late.
Hey Scott,
Thanks very much for including ClickMillionaires.com in this fabulous list of positive life-changing resources.
Lots of great company here and many new ones that I look forward to checking out.
So glad that my books have been inspiring to you. Looking forward to collaborating on what’s next…
All the best!

i really would like to find once for all MY job !!!
This list is amazing! Thanks so much Scott! There is a ton of inspiration, guidance and motivation here. I’ve visited a few of them before and I can’t wait to visit more. Just can’t let it get in the way of my ‘doing’ (too much, anyway). Keep it up, man.
This is an awesome, and admittedly intimidating list!
I totally agree with you on StrengthsFinder. The insights I’ve gained have helped me navigate my way to what makes my heart sing.
I’ve recently started blogging about my journey – http://renewableenthusiasm.com
Renewable Enthusiasm is about experiential exploration along the journey of finding, following, living and sustaining a passion. Sometimes it’s what you do intentionally that counts. Other times, our “re-creation” comes from the unexpected life lessons that sneak in the back door when we engage in our hobbies.
Like Steve Jobs learning calligraphy, you never know where the meaningful life lessons will come from.
Scott,
That’s an awesome list. I was searching for the resources on career and you have mentioned many of them.
I especially love and respect ZEN HABITS and RICHARD BOLLES’s Parachute series.
Thanks,
Avadhut
Ha ha. Great! I’m actually going to Richard Bolles’s 85th birthday tomorrow. Will be fun to reconnect!
Wow what a list thanks much I know a few of them like Zen Habits but it’s quite epic. I already feel like I spend too much time online
But I can tell this info will be very helpful.
Great list, and excellent research. A highly unique set of online resources. Thanks a lot!
