How to find his business

extension Manifesto "love to do".

I understand that you are busy favorite thing not so difficult. You just feel it. But how does it matter to find? That is the question of questions. Of course, even on such a complex issue can find the answer. All you need is a time for reflection and total honesty with yourself. Without the latter condition will not work. Are you ready for an absolutely honest dialogue with itself? If you are ready - go ahead, here are 7 (not) easy steps.

Create a list of everything you like to do

Start with a clean sheet. In the literal sense of the word. Open a new document in your computer or take a clean sheet and a pen. Start writing everything that you enjoy doing. Do not try to direct your thoughts. Write everything that comes to mind, if it refers to what is really like. Watching TV, playing computer, reading, listening to music... let everything settle on paper. Once you feel that the list ends, pass on it look already in terms of spheres of life. What I like at work? What I like to do at home? And in this spirit. Think of all the classes from which you enjoy.

Determine what is the essence of what you like

The first item was the easiest. Now begin complexity. All classes are hidden behind a certain point. Or another - many lessons combines a certain component, which is the essence of business. For example, I have a friend who, when drawing up the list, many pointed out such activities: presentations, train new employees, to understand other people's problems, to prepare reports, etc. Behind all this lies a single list essence. We found it in the process of analyzing the list, trying to figure out what unites these or other items. The point is simple - he likes to teach people. That's how we have formulated. In this case, the word "teach" conveys a sense of the process - to share knowledge, train.

The essence can be implemented differently?

So you've figured out what's behind all the list of your "favorite works". List of entities will be much shorter, but much more informative for you. Just think - you can implement all the essence in such a way that it can bring not only pleasure but also financial benefits. One more example. 16 years before I liked to play computer games. Father often told me that it was "a waste of time," a waste of time, which does not help me in the future. Even then I realized that it is necessary to link what you do with what you like. I started looking and found that there is a work - to test the game. So the next time his father was saying to me that the answer - I do not waste time, I'm getting ready to become a tester. And it's possible. Conclusion - think about how you can implement the essence of the other. It's possible.

Note - tester I did not become, but found his favorite pastime.

Tell us what you really grabs

Now put all that you have written. Leave the idea of ​​"magic list".

Ask yourself - if I could choose, what to do before the end of his life, what would it be? That you capture with your head? To answer this question, we need all your honesty with yourself.

This is a very complex and at the same time a simple question. His challenge is to clear the mind of all unnecessary and agree with yourself. Simplicity is the answer. When you find the answer will be surprised how easy it was, and lay on the surface.

I note at once - if you have nothing and never grasped - read no further. Whether or not you are honest with yourself, or are themselves hidden from the outside world, or you're unique and your case must be studied carefully professionals.

Think about times when it happened

So, okay you? We find what you capture? Now remember when it happened. Specifically and in detail. Try as much as possible to go back to that moment. This is important for two reasons. First - you check yourself if this is really what we are talking about. Secondly, it is necessary to define the conditions in order to understand - how to implement your business in practice.

Connect what you like so that grabs you

If you look closely at the list of what you like and what is really exciting, you will find a clear relationship. Returning to the example of my friend, he pointed out that he likes to teach people and, therefore, the activities associated with it. When we found out that it really captures much, we found out that such a thing is to find a new one. Or rather he liked to thoroughly understand what the issue, analyze the acquired knowledge and deduce from this new knowledge. In this example, the relationship can be traced very clearly. This person gets great pleasure to process information, and he likes to teach people. That's just such a bond and be found. Such bundles may not be much.

Area of ​​your "passion" is usually very narrow.

Now get this thing

Think about what it's like your a bunch of "passion - love." Itself already suggests a bunch of options for your business. My friend, judging by his passion and what he likes, would be a great scientist. This idea we have left as a starting point. What other activities related to his hobbies and is similar to the work of the scientist? Trainer, consultant, business analyst... project manager. Highlighting recent activity. This work requires constant study of new and reports this to the people, ie, training. Next, we have a little more concrete idea of ​​what a project manager and outlined the way to becoming a new path. To date, this person is successfully engaged in the management of projects in different areas. He found the trick.

Search for the business, employment is not easy. You can do it all my life, and ultimately did not find. This is the way of intuition. And you can think of and consciously working on search. This is the way rational.

Engaged in that love. Otherwise you'll fall in love with what I do.
