What do you want to do is more important than what you can do!
Far too
many students believe that the key to success requires knowing more than the
next person. We are reminded that it’s not always the strongest or the smartest
but the person who wants it the most. Burning desire is often more valuable
than a brilliant mind, solid networks or experience. Those things may get
you the job but they don’t suggest that you’ll be a success once you’ve been
given the opportunity. This is exactly why I advise you begin with a passion
search not a talent search.
Let’s say
you don’t know a thing about an industry, or you have no technical skills in
that field, but you have an indescribable passion for the work. I am certain
you would be far more willing to run up the learning curve. More importantly,
no matter how steep the curve is, you would be happier as you progress.
In any field of work you choose; Innovation is rewarded. Execution is worshipped! If you work with passion, you’re far more likely to feel compelled
to make an idea a reality and follow through on the execution of your ideas.
I invite
you to search within yourself first:
What work
do you do best?
What kind
of environments do you enjoy working in?
Are your
goals in-line with your principles?
And do
you even have core principles from which you go out into the world?
What are
you passionate about? … Take time to answer that question with integrity.
Finally,
are you making the necessary investment in yourself to be able to thrive
in whatever environment you find yourself in and to make your passion a
reality?
Invite
you to read more about this here. Hopefully, at the end of this process, you
may find that you were already on the path to a profession that you’re
passionate about. However, some may find that the corporate world isn’t
where their passions lie. Maybe entrepreneurship is where your heart is.
Whatever they case may be, I invite to consider the exciting world of startups.
