Now you realize
that diversity is the key. Great! Okay, how do you decide which direction to go?
There are an endless amount of
possibilities out there. The first thing
you need to determine is what you are good at.
When people are
asked this question, they tend to look at the big ticket items instead of
seeing the strengths in the little things they do. For example, a person might state that they
are a good secretary, but they need to take this statement a step further. What is it about them that makes them a good
secretary? This is when true revelations
begin! It is not that they are a good
secretary, but that they are excellent at multi-tasking, organizing events, and
keeping the office running smoothly. Even
that last one can be further broken down. How do they do this? They make sure that the office is always
stocked with supplies, that correspondence is flawless and goes out in a timely
manner, and on and on. So, take a few
minutes to reflect on your strengths. If
you are having difficulty with this, then ask your family, friends, or
coworkers. Sometimes they see you more
clearly than you do.
Now you have
your list of strengths. Which businesses
cater to these strengths? Also, consider
businesses that interest you and match your personality. Your strengths can match some businesses, but
if a business doesn’t match your personality or interest, then it should not be
considered. No reason to waste your
time. Other considerations to keep in
mind are your weaknesses and your personal habits. For example, are you a morning person or
late-night person? Are weekends
off-limits for work? Do you work better
by yourself or with others? Answering
these questions, and others that occur to you, will give you a better picture
of the types of businesses that may work for you.
I reviewed my
strengths and weaknesses and I decided to become an entrepreneur. I am currently an affiliate of SFI (Strong
Future International), but we will talk of this later. I like being an entrepreneur because I have
the freedom to work when I want. It is
true that I cannot take a month off all the time, but if I have a family event
coming up, I only need to schedule it in and adjust the business accordingly. There are no forms to fill out for time off; I
am not using sick days, or anything of the sort. It comes down to prioritizing my time to
ensure that family time is scheduled into my work life.
So, what are you
good at?
