I caught part of an interview on a cnbc show called The Big Idea. Donny Deutch was interviewing a model about her reasons for stopping modeling and moving into a line of cosmetics. She pointed out that she loved face care products and had no hesitation to stop modeling to explore her love.
I think the problem for most people is a) figuring out what you love b) having the confidence to go forward with your love vs your safe but not loved job/career. A – is not as simple as it sounds – sure you may love watching tv but can you translate it into something meaningful from a business perspective. This connection of translating your love into something of value is the part I think that stops most people going to B. It takes alot of creativity and determination to do it.
Another tv snippet I caught (hmmmm maybe the tv is telling me my destiny?) was from Wendy’s founder Dave Thomas. He said when he started Wendy’s people told him no one wanted another burger place – he said he didn’t listen to those people because its the kind of burger place that he wanted to eat at but didn’t exist.
So don’t let others determine if what you love is right for you to pursue – figure it out for yourself and I think you’ll be plenty amazed at how your whole perspective can change.
