Make a Big List
Grab a notebook or some paper and just start writing down your skills. What have you done in the past at work, as a volunteer, and so forth in your life that you really enjoyed doing and are good at doing that other people might want to know how to do?
Ask the Right Questions
Remember; even if you are good at something, you might actually hate it and not want to do it. Therefore, it’s imperative that you ask yourself the right questions so that you know you really want to do that thing for an extended period of time, before you get started.
For example, if you are currently a bookkeeper, but you dislike it, don’t try to be a bookkeeper for someone else. Instead, you might want to teach others how to find the perfect bookkeeper, or how to start a bookkeeping business - even if it's something you don't want to do any more. So, think outside the box!
Ask Your Friends & Family
If you’re not sure what you are good at, ask friends and family what they think. You might be surprised at what they say, most will be enamered by something that just comes naturally! Just be sure to ask supportive family and friends and anyone who brings you down. Even if that happens to be your mom, you want positive feedback.
Take a Personality Test
While many don’t believe personality tests are really accurate anymore, the truth is, they can still help give you ideas about what you might like to do.
My Mastermind partnen, Kelly L. Gabel, has a great one! I have found it to be super accurate and eye openeing! It is totally free: What is Your Soloprenuer Personality?
Have some fun with it! Mindtools.com has many other personality tests that might provide you with insight, also.
Take the Discover Your Purpose Masterclass
The truth is, there are millions of people out there who trudge off to work each and every day, wishing they were anywhere else, and hoping one day to find what really inspires them. If that’s you, then rest assured, you are not alone.
But know this, too; there is still time to discover your passion and start doing the work you love. That is what the Discover Your Purpose Masterclass is going to help you do.
Know Your Strengthss & Weaknesses
Don’t be too hard on yourself, but it’s always a good idea to be honest with at least yourself about your strengths and weaknesses. If you have a problem with imposter syndrome, you may want to get help with that from a life coach or read a lot of books about it. It’s okay to be good at something and admit it.
Narrow Down Your List
Once you have a working list, start marking off things you don’t like or don’t want to do. Sometimes it can help narrow down the list to take the topic and quickly write down a few money-making ideas associated with it that you can envision before making a choice.
