Do whatcha like

To the extent that it is possible I always try and do things that I enjoy.  Well no let me rephrase that, I choose to pursue things that I enjoy and I am (becoming) competent at.

I have always said that if i didn’t enjoy my job I would leave it and I have done this on some occasions.  However there is a practical element of life that says sometimes a job needs doing and I am going to have to do it.

But my point here is to look for opportunities you have energy for and they will tend to be things you love and are passionate about.

So for me I love words and get an incredible sense of satisfaction from knowing that my writing can inspire, educate and make a real difference in the life of others.  This gives me the energy to write this blog everyday and produce educational content for my company, keep people laughing on Twitter and contribute to online forums etc.

I have been told repeatedly that I should have someone “doing all that for me”,  but I would feel a fraud knowing some off shore ghost writer was talking to my friends and I would feel totally cheated myself because I love writing.

Now your thing might be something as diverse as surfing or collecting model cars and it doesn’t matter what it is.  What does matter is that you invest your energy in it because this is a doorway to success for you.

Matt Watson is a wonderful example of this process in action.  He is from New Zealand and loved, loved, loved the outdoors and fishing.  By pursuing this he now has a tv show based on his extreme fishing exploits that is seen by over 400 MILLION people.

His passion is now his career.

Doing things I love is my current career.

Think about what you love, what you have energy for and pursue that where ever possible.  If you’re an investor think about what aspects of investing you like and focus your energy on that.  If you’re a numbers person then focus on deal analysis, get someone else to do the dog patting and house visits.

If you are highly relational then be the front person and pay someone to do the detail stuff or get a partner.  Don’t underestimate your ability to grow and succeed as you pursue the things you love!!
