Figuring out what you want out of life does not have to be rocket science. It does not have to cause you confusion or worry. I would dare say that you think too much about it.

Life is a journey and not a destination. It does not ultimately matter what you do moment to moment. It matters that you live your life in the moment that you are in. Be present. Enjoy what you are doing now to the best of your ability. If you find no joy in what you are doing, then by all means… do something else.

Did you realize that I did not say find something else to do? There is a reason for this. When you are looking for some action to fill your time, then you are lost in the abyss of many options. When you decide quickly to take another action, then do that with full presence and joy, you are then living. If you would like to jump from job to job. It is okay. Remember, however; there are consequences for every action whether good or bad.

I love when I hear the saying “Fail quickly.” It is an important key to living a great life. We become “bummed out” by mulling over decisions and taking too much time doing nothing with our lives. When you are doing something that you love, then time just seems to fly by. When you are doing nothing, time almost seems to stand still. This is the place where we get stuck in the time warp of indecision. We get lost in the sea of worry. Life was meant to be lived with ACTION; not to be spent doing nothing.

Now for Failing Forward with a Plan>>>

  1. I am interested in doing XYZ business. So, now I need a plan. Because I know that reinventing the wheel is just a no, no. So, next…
  2. I find a business mentor. Someone who has found the success that I want to find. (Now, it is not necessary that I contact this mentor myself. I could read a book by this mentor or follow a blog. Even though face to face contact can be golden. Using the phone is also, somewhere next to gold.)
  3. I do what I am told to do by my mentor. In the beginning I do it explicitly until I find some success. Not veering away from the path in the future I will have developed the insight to tweak they system given by my mentor, thereby making the system better. (The student has become the teacher.)
  4. I teach someone else what I am learning from the very beginning. There are three reasons for teaching someone else what you are learning.
  • a. Teaching another what you are learning reinforces the lesson for you.
  • b. You are now positioning yourself as the leader that you need to be in order to thrive in your business
  • c. You will get rich by helping enough people solve their problems.

Now, if you find that XYZ business is not the right business for you. It does not bring you joy happiness or passion, then you may want to change to ABC business. (Remember what I said about consequences.) Then repeat the formula above.

As obvious as this should be. I am not going to leave this up to chance. When you are choosing a business or product to promote. Choose something that you already have an akin for. If you haven’t exercised in years and you hate popping pills. Then promoting the next great vitamin may not be the business for you. Unless of course, you have a new found passion to create the healthy lifestyle that you have never had. (That is a slim chance actually. No pun intended.)

If you like singing and you have went down to try out for American Idol once or twice, then you may want to model your business around the new Vocal Computer Software. Funny little biz model, but hey its something you can relate to and might even have a love and passion for. I don’t care if the things you like may not “seem” like money makers, but I assure you they are. You only must change your way of thinking. Which is another article within itself.

Once you have found your business, you will need to promote it.
