Write It!

glennmiller1 — 2023-02-06 14:05:32 UTC

Choose one business idea and "freewrite" your initial ideas about it. Why does it interest you? Where did the idea come from? What would be some challenges in achieving this goal? Remember, "freewriting" is an opportunity to write down anything that comes to mind. The key is to keep writing!

VIDEO: Finding your passion

glennmiller1 — 2023-05-01 15:05:34 UTC

You may have heard people say, "Find your passion" or "Do what you're passionate about."

Well, finding your passion is easier said than done. As Dr. Jon Tam states in the video below, the reality of finding a fulfilling career is more complex than just doing something you love. Some of you, for example, might have a lot of interests and are finding it difficult to decide. Some of you might not have found a skillset or career that you're passionate about. Whatever your mindset, it's perfectly natural.

Every one of us is different, of course, and that goes for what we prioritize in a job. Some want stability more than anything else. Others want to work in high-pressure careers or travel a lot. Still others want to be their own boss.

Dr. Tam discusses the following neurotransmitters and how they are tied to three types of intrinsic (internal) motivation.

Competence (excellence, success) is tied to serotonin. When you succeed at a task using skills you've learned, you feel proud. With each success, you deepen those skills, and your self-confidence grows.

Autonomy (independence, freedom) is tied to dopamine. This is the immediate satisfaction we get from an exciting experience. However, we don't really develop skills from this. Think scrolling through social media or watching television. Dependence on dopamine can become dangerous if we rely on it too much, but it's an essential part of what drives us.

Relatedness (teamwork, community) is tied to oxytocin. This is the comfortable feeling we get belonging to a community or family. It occurs when we work as part of a team to achieve a common goal.

People are happiest when their career offers a mix of these motivations.

Whether you have a clear idea of your career goals or not, it might be helpful to list the skills you have along with the skills you want to gain.

What do you want to learn? What are you curious about? How an entrepreneur starts a business? How a medical professional diagnoses a patients' symptoms? You might be curious about how children's minds develop, how graphic novels are created, how AI will affect financial investing, or how bridges and buildings are constructed.

The more you explore these topics, the greater chance you have in finding your passion.

Why Have Goals?

glennmiller1 — 2023-09-11 14:55:37 UTC

1. GOALS GIVE YOU DIRECTION.

Goals are like a map. Having no goals would be like sailing a ship across the Atlantic with no compass.

2. GOALS GIVE YOU PURPOSE.

Goals help you to have a reason for getting up in the morning.

3. GOALS ARE MOTIVATING.

Having goals will put drive and passion in your life. They will keep you excited about your journey.

4. GOALS GIVE YOU SELF-CONFIDENCE.

Having goals will give you the confidence to push yourself outside your comfort zone to try new things. Achieving one set of goals will give you the confidence to stretch yourself a little further.
