Often we have to work not by calling, but by necessity, and this fact does not make life rosier. One gray morning looks like another, and when you come to work, you can’t wait until the arrows show 18-00.

But have you ever met people who are happy to run to work in the morning to do what they love, and in the evening they forget that they need to return home? So how to find your favorite business, which will not only become a source of income, but also be the meaning of your whole life?

How to determine if you are in the right business

Psychologists note such a feature of human nature as constant self-doubt, as well as a subconscious fear of everything new. But before you radically change your life and change your occupation, take a little time - take a test that will convincingly prove whether you really did not do what you love. Professional counselors offer answers to the following questions:

Does your current job give you pleasure, or is it just a list of duties that you perform under duress? Can this work become your favorite thing if there is no boss over you?
Do you read professional literature, attend advanced training courses, write articles, or maybe implicitly compete with colleagues in professionalism?
Do you discuss with like-minded people how best to solve a particular problem?
Do you enjoy staying at work, or is it a punishment for you?
Is your current job making enough money for you?
Does your current job give you moral satisfaction?

If the answer to most of the questions was negative, then you should not regret the boring and gray present, it is better to think about a brighter future, namely, how to find your favorite business. A person who has realized the need for change is already halfway to success, the only thing left to do is to change their thinking.

The average age of entrepreneurs in Russia is about 30 years old, and these are quite mature years when a person already has beliefs, principles, a profession and hobbies, and he is able to make every effort to make his favorite business successful. Such people tend to make informed decisions, carefully evaluate their strengths, calculate financial benefits and desperately doubt the success of an undertaking, which in most cases ruins a novice entrepreneur.

How to find your life's work

Let's talk about how to find your favorite thing in life, which would also bring enough livelihood. Most often, a favorite business is born from the most harmless hobby, which at first glance is not able to bring any income.

Brilliant culinary specialist, publisher of magazines about delicious and healthy food Rachel Ray could not even imagine that her favorite thing - cooking - would bring her a million-dollar fortune and huge popularity. TV presenter, animal behavior and training specialist Caesar Millan, who emigrated from Mexico to the United States, hardly hoped to earn huge fees with his favorite thing - teaching moneybags the rules for raising dogs of elite breeds.

So how do you find what you love? First: think about what you would like to do - perhaps the first thought will be the most correct. For example, if you are well versed in coffee varieties, if the word “puer” is not an empty phrase for you, but a type of fermented tea, then your favorite business may be associated with opening a small coffee shop or shop. If you can make an original and fashionable thing out of old jeans, then your favorite thing, of course, is related to design and individual tailoring.

If it turned out to be quite difficult for you to search for your favorite business, analyze the statistics of visiting sites on the Internet. Perhaps, most often you went to sites with science fiction or detective novels, and reading these books is not just a hobby for you, but also something more that can become a favorite thing?

Consider taking up literature yourself, because most often the best writers are previously unknown self-taught writers. Maybe the editor-in-chief or freelance journalist of some major publication is dying in you?

Perhaps breeding rare and greenhouse varieties of phalaenopsis brings you real pleasure, and the concepts of acidity and soil composition are close and understandable, like two and two? The greenhouse business in Russia is now experiencing a real boom, and flower farms bring solid profits to their owners, and this activity can become for you not only a favorite thing, but a source of permanent income. Having shown a certain acumen and enterprise, the business owner will be able not only to conquer the local market, but also to enter the international level, putting up collections for sale through specialized exchanges on the Internet.

Where to start your business

Perhaps you turned out to be that rare individual who had no doubts that doing what you love is the greatest happiness in the world, and it was not difficult to decide on the type of activity. Then you will have to take the next step - consider what resources you have at your disposal to start your favorite business. The undoubted advantage will be the initial capital, as well as like-minded people who will support you in difficult times or give sensible advice on how to develop your favorite business.

Decide on a place where you will do what you love. If business requires a certain discipline, psychologists advise renting a small office in the business center so that you feel the appropriate atmosphere, and it will also be much more convenient to conduct important negotiations there. If you can combine home and your favorite business, it is better to save money and work right at the kitchen table.

Try to establish new contacts, this will facilitate the search for clients, and each good review will give you new strength and strengthen faith in yourself. Develop along with what you love, be ready to learn new things, cultivate a sense of satisfaction and faith in the future. Be philosophical about all obstacles, remember that when enthusiasm subsides, despondency can come. Psychologists say that this is a completely normal condition that all people face without exception, but for successful people this condition quickly passes.

Don't forget about this important detail, like registration and reporting, it would be better if professionals deal with this issue. This service is not so expensive, but you will save a lot of nerves and time. Follow your competitors, evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of their product, collect customer reviews, follow the advertising campaigns of similar products.

Contrary to the opinion of most ordinary people, doing what you love is not as easy and simple as it might seem at first glance. Working as a hired clerk in an office, an employee can afford to mess around a little, but if he is an entrepreneur, then any idle time will turn into losses for his own pocket. At first, going on vacation can also cause a lot of difficulties, because leaving your favorite business to a stranger is quite problematic.

A person who has found his life's work is undoubtedly a self-sufficient and whole person. You can argue for a long time why it is important to do what you love, but the answer will be the same - everything you do should bring joy and pleasure. Do not be afraid of changes, sometimes leaving your comfort zone can not only expand your horizons, but also make you a little freer, and therefore happier. Author: Natalia Ivanova

Dear friends, Alexander Berezhnov and Vitaly Tsyganok are in touch!

This article is more like a cry from the heart and a catalyst for those who are just about to start their own business, or rather, find their favorite business and build it.

When we hear that it is very difficult, the state will “strangle” with taxes, bandits will “run over” or officials will torture them with checks, then this is just nonsense , don't listen to all this nonsense!

Believe me, these problems will definitely not threaten you, especially at first. As they say: " The devil is not as scary as he is painted».

If you are still in search of your favorite business and do not know where to start, then read the article to the end and you will find out:

1. Why is it important to do what you love?

How to find your favorite business, and even make money on it? This question is asked by many people.

After all, as they say:

"Turn a hobby into a business and you will never have to work in your life"

This is absolutely true. But, why then does it remain only a dream for many people? Let's figure it out together ... Own investigation.

Most importantly, this is necessary in order to achieve great results in it and not to quit your occupation halfway.

We are convinced that there are no mediocre people, there are just people who are in the wrong place. How many of us see around unhappy faces who want to quickly go home after work?

Probably a lot...

Why all this?

And to the fact that if you do not have your favorite business, do not do it regularly, life loses all meaning. For some, a hobby is a hobby, for others it is a job.

It's very simple, here's a good example:

Two people after school entered the institute to study as lawyers. Graduated, received diplomas.

And now, after a few years, we see how one of our graduates became a successful lawyer, and the other went to work as a salesman. Why is this happening?

This is because the first guy was "sick" of jurisprudence, for him there was no better rest than to replenish his knowledge, regularly study the material and practice. And the other, the current seller, went for a walk at the first opportunity, fulfilling his legal tasks only within the framework of the institute's program.

Conclusion:

Without passion for your work, without true love for it, you cannot achieve great success, because you simply will not have enthusiasm. Remember yourself, because on a date with your loved one you run inspired and you can do it even early in the morning, even after a hard day's work.
Why is it so hard for most people to get up in the morning? Are they all "owls"?
That's not the point at all. It’s just that when a person doesn’t see the point, doesn’t have a big goal, then he not only doesn’t want to get up and go to an unloved job, but in general life loses all its colors and loses its meaning, depression sets in.

2. How to find your favorite thing: a step-by-step instruction from 5 practical tips

So, as you know:

"Who seeks will always find!"

We believe that in order to find what you love, you must first find yourself. Although these are very close in meaning moments.

And now to practice. We suggest you do the following exercise:

Remain in complete silence and turn off your cell phone. You will need several hours for this. Take a piece of paper, pen or pencil. Put them in front of you. Surely you also have photos that are associated with pleasant moments from your life on vacation, work. If you kept a diary, that's even better. Prepare all visual materials.
Start taking half an hour to write down the things that you enjoy doing that inspire you. And if the ideas run out - refer to the photographs (personal diary).
After you have a solid list, start reading it slowly and put a number from 1 to 10 in front of each entry. In our case, the number 1 is the activities that are weakly inspiring, 10 is the most inspiring.
When all the numbers are affixed, look at the entries with the highest scores. This will be your guide. Surely, at this stage of your development, it is these things that can become the basis for finding your favorite business for you.
Now you have guidelines, but it is possible that in their pure form they cannot become your favorite thing. To do this, you can try to combine them.

For example, using the described technology, you found out what inspires you to sing and take care of children. Then, after some thought, you can come to the conclusion that organizing your own circle for teaching children to sing can become your favorite thing. We think that the mechanism is clear.

But this is just one of their tricks to speed up finding your favorite business.

And the most effective way, no matter how trite it may sound, is the “brute force method”.

That is, when you know what you like and start doing it. You may have to change several areas of activity before you find your own.

But, believe me, if you do not spare the time and effort for this, then in the future you will be immensely happy.

We recommend doing this exercise to everyone who has not yet found their favorite business. Repeat it with a certain frequency and you will more and more accurately approach your dream! This technique is recommended by leading business coaches in the field of personal effectiveness and success.

Let's remember the outstanding entrepreneurs, athletes, scientists and public figures: Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Soichiro Honda, Michael Dell, Napoleon Hill, Michael Jordan, Alexander Pushkin. This list is endless. They all did what they loved, and therefore achieved world-class success.

And now we turn to the answer to the most interesting and frequently asked question ...

3. How to start making money doing what you love

Here we present the real stories of our friends who have already found their favorite business and are developing it.

Many dream about it, because if your earnings coincide with what you like, you become “full”, glow, radiating optimism.

Know, friends!

If you manage to open your own business, and at the same time the level of your income does not fall, that is, this business will bring profit, most likely you will no longer want to return to wage work.

But remember that often you will have to (especially in the first few months, and maybe years) work much harder and harder than in the previous "8-hour job", so certain difficulties cannot be avoided.

But still, if you overcome them, find like-minded people and will not give up at the first difficulties, we assure you that you will not regret your choice. For example, our friend Anna Belan turned her passion for needlework into an interesting business. And how she did it, read ours.

So, let's suppose that you have definitely decided that you want to turn your favorite thing into a business, that is, to make money on it, without being employed.

Congratulations, you are on the right track! It remains only to act!

According to statistics, most people start their own business between the ages of 30 and 40. This is quite logical and reasonable. By these years, a person already has a certain life experience, knowledge, and perhaps he is simply tired of his job.

He "grew up" on it to a certain level and wants to realize himself in an exciting creative business with many adventures, interesting situations and victories by opening his own business.

It is absolutely certain that you will be literally doomed to success if the direction you have chosen is interesting to you.

Look, most great people, including entrepreneurs, have achieved tremendous success thanks to passions to your business. It inspired them and aroused great interest!

Enthusiasm, healthy passion and ambition- one of the fundamental qualities for success in any business.

If you love what you do, know that you are already 80% close to your biggest successes.

4. Which of our friends has already turned their favorite business into a business and how did they start?

Now we want to present you the article of our friend and like-minded person Dmitry Shaposhnikov. A few months ago, he quit his job and started his own entrepreneurial project with a partner.

Prior to that, Dmitry worked in the company " Beeline» in the South of Russia in one of the leadership positions. There were about 300 people under his command. But he did not regret his decision to leave work at all, but on the contrary, he is satisfied with life and inspired by the upcoming prospects.

We asked Dima to write an article about how it feels like a person who left his job to do what he loves, which has become his business. Below is the text of this article, in which the spirit of the real freedom of the winner and enthusiast is felt!

“More like it’s morning!”
Hello dear reader!
With this article, I want to inspire you if, like me some time ago, you are seriously thinking about this step. I agree that entrepreneurship is not for everyone. And I believe that a person can and should be happy. This is the great goal of life. If you feel an inner desire and readiness to give more to the world, then it's time.
I'll tell you a riddle that I love very much recently. There were three cats on the fence. One decided to jump. How many cats are left? The answer is three. Why? To decide is not to jump!
In my opinion, this is a mystical moment that is difficult to explain - a moment of a difficult decision, when something inside "clicks" and "the cat really jumps off."
My entrepreneurial experience (including my discoveries) in concentrated form looks like this:
The flow of change. Constant movement, tacking, sliding, flexibility and full acceptance of change. It is simply impossible to cling to the old.
Firm intention. Or focus. Constant attunement to the goal, concentration.
Passion / energy. If the business you are doing is really yours, God will give you energy! Like everything else.
Awareness at 100%. Continuous involvement in life. Fascinated by the idea, you will not “fall out” of the conscious state by your work. Because all the time you will be forced to yourself again and again to answer the questions: what should I do next? What do I want? how should it work? etc.
As a consequence of full awareness, you will experience the phenomenon of time dilation and feeling of happiness. Yes, yes, it's like in childhood, do you remember how long your days were busy when you explored the world? And even if sometimes something goes wrong (and something will definitely go wrong!) you will still be deeply happy internally, correcting it. Just from the feeling of fullness of life, the feeling of taking full responsibility.
Team. In business, it's all yours!

I remember how as a child, going to bed, I dreamed that morning would come sooner - I so wanted to return to the river faster, where in secluded places the guys and I set up our “traps” for the night. So now, I'm looking forward to the morning to do what I do again! Perhaps this is happiness.
I wish everyone happiness!
Here is such an inspiring article from Dmitry. We hope that it will help aspiring entrepreneurs to take the first step towards self-realization in their favorite business.

For starters, a video by the legendary Steve Jobs on why it's important to do what you love (1:31)

P.S. Dear readers, have you already found your favorite thing or are you still looking for it? Share your ideas and thoughts in the comments!

If you want to live your life meaningfully and leave behind a chic (not so much tangible as intangible) legacy, if you want to achieve outstanding success and serious results, if you want to live like a free person, and not like a gray biomass, then you have no other choice other than finding your life's work.

Many fail in this field, falling into a rut of dullness and routine, because, starting to do something, they think first of all about the profitability of their undertaking: they are looking for profitable niches, promising topics, prestigious places, etc.

This is a strategic mistake and its disastrous consequences are not immediately visible - sometimes a lot of time must pass until the accumulated "failures" create a critical mass and a crisis covers the person: the desire to do what he was doing disappears, previous successes appear doubtful and do not cause joy, apathy appears and fatigue, irritation with others (even relatives) and the world as a whole. The person understands that got stuck in life.

In order not to find yourself in such a situation or get out of it with the least losses, you should find your real life work - this is a natural need of the human spirit, like food and water for the body.

How to find your calling in life

The first thing that should be clearly and clearly understood is that the work of life is a practical tool for the realization of a personal mission (calling, destiny) with which the spirit embodied in our material reality. This is the notorious "meaning of life", which, however, is not available to everyone.

What does it take to know your personal mission? There is a mass different ways(from meditation to one-step exercises), but within self-realization program "Building a New Life" we use the most reliable - the clarification of the mission (destiny) from the spiritual level through the passage of a special process of direct experience of the truth. Having overcome the resistance of his inner Taskmaster, a person meets his true, spiritual Self and finds out his destiny.

But the peculiarity of the knowledge of a personal mission is that a person experiences some, albeit quite bright, but absolutely non-verbal awareness, which can include hundreds and thousands of meanings. Therefore, the next step is the translation of an abstract purpose into a specific and understandable Big Goal. To formulate this Great Goal for yourself means to stop throwing around life once and for all, to clearly define the direction of movement and start your own Path along it, leaving crowds of unlucky people behind.

"Puzzle» as a way to find a dream job

And then we have the most difficult, but terribly interesting work - to determine the best way achieve our Big Goal [essentially - a life strategy] and find out with the help of what tool [of life's work] we will translate it into reality.

To do this, we need to assemble a kind of "puzzle" of various elements:

My "function" (role) in the human system - brahmin, kshatriya, vaishyu or sudra
My values- in other words, what exactly, what ideas, principles I am guided by in life, and these values should be my own, not borrowed
My talents- these are abilities and skills that you can do very well, naturally, as if by itself
Personal characteristics- these are desires, interests, genetic inclinations, personal qualities and traits

Collection, sorting, research and synthesis of these elements is a special technology that requires systems thinking. Since all these elements must not only be brought together, but also correctly coordinated with each other so that there are no roughnesses, inconsistencies and friction between them, which will give rise to motivational conflicts in the unconscious and force a person to rush here and there.

For example, a person may be interested in philosophy, dream of the laurels of a writer, but at the same time he is genetically restless, and he does not have the talent to express his thoughts clearly, figuratively and coherently, but he has a lot of other interesting abilities.

It is clear that if such a person starts writing, then the maximum that he can count on is the laurels of a network graphomaniac, some popularity (if he has the talent to “keep his nose in the wind”, allowing him to notice “what is in fashion now” and drive it away with noise ) and an over-inflated ego.

And even if this person has some success in such a business, then in general his life will be unhappy and not lived as wonderfully as we would like. Therefore, the choice of your business must be precise.

The most important thing - life's work should use all your potential to the maximum, reveal and realize it on your Path to the Big Goal. This is its real meaning - to give you the opportunity to fulfill yourself for real.

Life Purpose Strategy

Being engaged in the business of life, you choose the best (both for yourself and for all systems in which you are “included”) ways of moving towards the Big Goal (ie, life strategy). This method will not be the easiest. It won't be the easiest. But it will allow you to grow as a person and use the energy and possibilities of the Collective Unconscious to the maximum to move along the chosen Path.

The business of life has a couple of very clear markers that insure you against making stupid mistakes:

Firstly, you really want to do this business (to put it in youth slang - it’s “rushing from it”), even if it’s not clear why and why, and in the eyes of others this activity looks stupid or funny - this is understandable, logical and beyond doubt: in order to achieve what -or success you need to love what you do

Secondly, you strive to do this business, even if now no one is ready to pay a penny for it (although, of course, it is advisable to immediately look for potential consumers - in self-realization program "Building a New Life" there are appropriate methods for this).

By checking any occupation, any business that you have been or are doing for compliance with these criteria, you can easily see whether this is really your life's work or is it just self-deception.

But to be honest, if, using this algorithm, you really reached your “business of life”, then you will simply feel it - doing this business you will be simply happy, you will be yourself as much as possible, while feeling deep inner harmony and connection with everything the world. It is difficult to describe this state in words, but your intuition will surely tell you what it is exactly, and you will understand it yourself if you are honest with yourself.

Finding your life’s work is not an easy process, so if you don’t want to waste time and effort, make mistakes and painfully sort through options, sign up for a free consultation with me and find out how best to build the process of your own self-realization.

Good afternoon dear friend!

How to find your job in life? The question is largely rhetorical.
The author of these lines often caught himself thinking that this issue is present in the background. Somewhere on the edge in the mind. Sometimes it flashes like a pulsar, sometimes it fades. I guess I'm not alone in these feelings.

If your pulsar flared up with unquenchable fire, read this article to the end and take the first step.

Someone said: “Happiness is when you go to work with pleasure in the morning and return home with joy in the evening.” When work is a pleasure, and relatives and loved ones are waiting at home, this is really happiness.

Look around. How many happy smiling faces do you see? Especially in the mornings in public transport during rush hours. Gloomy, not enough sleep, dissatisfied, buried in their mobile gadgets, young and not very young people.

Do they think about the upcoming working day with joy and pleasure? Or they want to go home to a warm bed and take another two or three hours of nap. And, perhaps, to do at home a business to which hands are reaching out?

It is possible that the cause that the soul aspires to is your destiny. This is what you should do, getting satisfaction from the result and gratitude from others.

Honestly ask yourself - do I really love my job? Could I continue to go to her if they stopped paying me for her?

What is the meaning of life for me, what gives pleasure, joy from my work? Not all of us will be able to give a positive answer.

1. What is our life? Routine

And this is not surprising. Public opinion forces us to be like everyone else, "no worse than others."

Mandatory attributes of a successful person: a prestigious job with a good salary, an apartment, a house outside the city, a car - a foreign car, vacations in warm countries two or three times a year, fashionable clothes, accessories and much more.

We are taught to do it from diapers. Study hard at school to get into higher education. Study well at the institute so that you can get a decent job. Sometimes it doesn't matter what kind of institute, just to get a higher education, the so-called "crusts".

A newly minted specialist comes after the institute to work in his specialty, if he still finds a place, works for some time, and understands that five or six years of his life are thrown to the wind. Well, the soul does not lie.

2. You are Eugene, I am Eugene, you are not a genius, I am not a genius ...

The state and public opinion, starting from childhood, wean us from doing what interests us. Our brains are filled with the wrong programs. We are made the same bricks in the wall of society.

How many people habitually pull the strap on an unloved job, because they need to somehow survive: eat, dress, raise children. And what you really like to do is allotted to fast-flying weekends, and even evening hours, if you have strength left after a busy day at work.

Monotonous years drag on, which differ only in where we went to rest for two weeks this year, or in which class our child went. Less and less pulls to chat with friends, less and less dreams of something cherished.

And many understand that life is somehow going wrong, but do not know how to change it. How to find your real business, so that life sparkles with colors, to wake up with joy in the morning, because your favorite pastime is waiting for you. Yes they just don't know what their favorite activity is. And will it still be able to feed them in this difficult time.

3. Your Mission on this blue planet?

And yet, more and more people are thinking about their lives, trying to figure out
than their true purpose. About their Mission, with which they came into this world. About God's gift, which is in each of us.

They begin to understand that it is impossible to put money at the forefront, for the sake of which they have to go to work every day, denying themselves rest, pleasant communication with loved ones. After all, money, in fact, is just an exchange currency between members of society for the products produced.

More and more people are radically changing their lives, despite the lack of understanding and disapproval of others around them. Someone sells an apartment in a big city and leaves for the countryside, becomes a farmer. Grows rabbits or tomatoes and enjoys the process.

Someone quits an exhausting office job, despite the loss of a high salary,
becomes a freelancer and works remotely. Because he realized that more than anything in the world he wants to travel to different countries, study the culture of other peoples, discover new unfamiliar places.

And someone just loves the heat, and leaves the cold city for a warm climate. He lives on income from a rented apartment, does what he loves and feels in his place.

This is happiness when an understanding comes from what makes you “rushing” in this life, what “eyes light up”. Some become photographers. As they travel, they post wonderful photos on their blogs. And the entire Internet gasps at this unprecedented beauty.

Third find a job online: conduct online educational webinars and trainings, create training courses, websites, blogs and online stores, help entrepreneurs in promoting their businesses, etc. etc.

Professional skills can be very different. The main thing is that these people radically change their thinking. They are interested in everything that comes their way. They have a new view of the world around them, of interpersonal relationships. Smiles bloom on faces and love is born in the eyes. The love for which we came to this Earth.

4. Raise the sails!

Now many people talk about their own path through searches and mistakes to their new, interesting and fulfilling life. Explain what motivation prompted them to find their favorite thing. However, this is only their way. How to find your own? After all, we are so different.

Career fork - it's time to think about it. Otherwise we won't get together.

Let us recall the pulsar in our consciousness, which was discussed at the beginning. If it flared up and you are seriously thinking about how to realize yourself, find a business that ignites you- I'll give you a hint.

Somehow, when meeting with a friend in a conversation, I heard a name - Pavel Kochkin, who helped her find the business she is now successfully engaged in.

I became interested and began to look for information about this person.

Pavel is a successful entrepreneur. Moreover, he has not one, but several well-functioning businesses. However, not everything is so simple. Pavel is a psychologist by training. Graduated from the Faculty of Psychology of Moscow State University. Then he was educated at Harvard. There were other educational institutions, but he still could not understand what was closer to him, what to spend the precious years of his life on.

A lot has been done and learned. And relying on your personal experience and knowledge, Pavel created a training, which is called “Destiny”. With the help of certain techniques you yourself will look into your subconscious and understand who you are and what you need to do In this life.

Oleg Lazhechnikov

I recently got into a conversation with a friend on the phone about my favorite thing, finding myself and other things. It's funny, this has been talked about more than once, only circumstances are constantly changing, in fact, like opinion, based on life experience. So, this conversation suggested that we should write down our thoughts, which may be useful to someone too, well, it will be interesting to read it myself in 10 years.

By the way, does anyone write letters to themselves in the future? So that later, after a while, to find out what he lived, what he thought about, what questions stood and how they were decided in the end. I don’t write myself, but I often catch myself thinking when I find myself in some place where I haven’t been for a long time (for example, near the office where I once worked) - did that boy know that he would become that and that? then it will live like this. Surprisingly, you can not predict in advance!

How to find your business

I'll start right away with the recipe. He helped me personally, but realized that I did just that, not immediately. So sometimes it happens that the specifics in words or in the head develop after.

We all have "statistics" of our lives. Unfortunately, it is mostly available only to those who are prone to introspection or have a certain logical mindset. But I'm not talking about that. So, the statistics clearly show who you are, what you like, what you would like to do, and what you really do, and not just want. It is statistics that makes it clear where are real desires and where are hypothetical, or, in other words, determines our inclination to a particular occupation. Surely, you have noticed more than once that you want something, but in fact you do it differently. For example, do not go to the gym, although you want to look good, go to bed and get up late, although you dream of being a lark, burn with emigration, but in fact there is no progress in this direction. In general, if you look back and analyze recent years, you can draw various useful conclusions and come up with new motivations for achieving those goals that have stalled with old motivations. Statistics can be used for many things.

Well, the recipe itself - statistics often gives an understanding of what you do all your life or part of your life one way or another, no matter what. The main thing is not to be afraid to admit it to yourself and not to run away from it. For me it turned out to be travel, my friend has a photograph. Of course, there are no guarantees that you will not make a mistake, in fact, as well as universal recipes. This is just one of the options, as it can be.

How to recognize "your" business in statistics

Once I just looked around and realized that I was always drawn to travel and the process called the road. It got to the point that I quit my job because I couldn’t stand the vacation. Naturally, this understanding alone did not bring me closer to my favorite business and earnings. And it was also easy not to pay attention to travel at all, since they have nothing to do with receiving money. Still, we usually connect these concepts. So, my main mistake was that when looking for a favorite thing, I evaluated everything on the subject, but whether this or that activity would bring money or not. This is not quite the right way. That is why I knew about travel for a long time, but I never regarded it as a source of money. Therefore, you need to analyze what specifically brings you pleasure for a long time (throughout your life), even if it seems to you that there will never be money from this. After all, you will want to do this anyway, even as a hobby, but it is better to know than to run away from it. In fact, your favorite pastime and is not obliged to bring you money :)

It is important to understand here that different things can give pleasure to different people and not everyone needs this favorite thing in principle. Someone wants to build a career and this is the main goal, someone is rushing from how he puts together the puzzle of purchases / sales and makes a profit, well, some generally measure everything by the number of purchases and neither the process nor the business itself is important to them, if only more money paid. And there are those who are trying to find a specific favorite thing, when it is important what exactly you do every day, and everything else fades into the background. Actually, there are a lot of intermediate options.

But all the people listed above have a unifying factor - they want something, that is, everything rests on desire, without which there is nowhere. And you can try to isolate this very desire from your statistics. For some, it will be just a hobby (a process that brings joy), and for others, a certain format of work (career growth, entrepreneurship, maximum money for purchases, etc.). No need to rack your brains and think about what you might want, what else to try, because, as a rule, everything is already in the statistics. Also, based on this desire, you can come up with a motivation for something. Thus, statistics give an understanding, at least, about your favorite business, about the format of work, about motivation.

How specifically to choose something from the statistics, I won’t tell you, it’s too individual. In this regard, it was relatively simple for me, during my life various hobbies changed many times, but there were always trips, even to the neighboring region. Right now it’s very tight with us to travel, but still I travel a little and the desire to be on the road does not disappear anywhere. Sometimes I catch a “road” on the way to the doctor :) But, something else is interesting, when travel is carried out close in time to the emerging desire to travel (if you wanted to, you went), that is, when you don’t have to wait for a vacation for six months, then you end up traveling less.

The format of work also affected me very much - instead of an office with a boss, I now have a house and myself (). As practice has shown, it was very important for me to work for myself and not drive in traffic jams. And although I’m now thinking about coworking and my small office, it’s still psychologically much more comfortable for me than before ().
