The commonly used phrase “Following your heart” is easier said than done when you are passionate about more than one thing in business. While having a lot of passions is a good thing, it can affect our decision-making process when it comes to career goals.
The overwhelming amount of choices and not being able to decide which path to follow can be tricky. Prioritizing a particular interest can create a fear of missing out on what the other options would have to offer. And sometimes, you end up choosing nothing.
If you have hit a dead-end and are having trouble picking a passion, keep reading this article.
Letting Some Passions Go
This is not something we want to hear but letting go is the first step to making the right choice. It's crucial to figure out or recognize which of your passions you don't enjoy as much as the others.
Make a list of the interests you will not regret letting go of down the road. Consider the long-term benefits of the passion you choose, the quality of life it will provide, but most importantly if it will make you happy. And if the answer to any of these does not appeal to you, strike that option out.
The decision-making process does not have to be hasty. Take your time and explore the avenues. Look into each of them and compare their reality to your ideas. Be open to feedback and do meticulous research on every aspect of it, especially if you work in MLM.
At the end of it, you will have a shorter list of passions to cipher through.
Trial And Error Method
The best way to know which passion project is right for you to follow is to try them all. Choose one thing you are passionate about and put all your energy and focus into it. If it seems like a chore to you, it is a sign to stop and move onto the next one. Keep attempting this until you find one that you enjoy in the biz world.
You don’t need to end up with only one passion. In such cases, choose one that you like the most and turn the others into hobbies. Having multiple careers is becoming increasingly common these days, but it is not necessary to make a livelihood from all of your passions in Pakistan or India.
Another advantage of trying everything out is that you will know where you under-perform or face failures in business. If you resent it, eliminate it from your list but if you enjoy it and wish to become better, keep pursuing it. Times will be tough in business and you will be tested, but if you persevere then your chances increase dramatically because most people won't.
Wait For Your Passion To Come To You Naturally
Instead of looking for your true passion in business or career, let it find you. Sometimes when you are lost, it is best to stop and wait. When you are idle and bored, you will want to do something to keep you busy. The passions that appeal to you then are what you are most interested in, and these are the truest passions for you to pursue.
However, this doesn’t have to work for everyone. We are all built differently, and while some may have their careers neatly planned out. Others are willing to try out new things, fail, invest in MLM companies, and then move onto the next venture. So, relax into the idea of having too many passions and try out each one or try nothing.
Final Thoughts On Pursuing Profitable Passions
The best way to deal with having too many passions is always to start something. You can bootstrap a startup for instance or begin a stock portfolio. Very often, the ideas seem overpowering when they are just ideas and have not been converted into reality. Analyzing it over and over in your head can make it look like an impossible task to arrive at a conclusion. It can drive you nuts basically, so you need to pace yourself at times.
The bitter truth is not everything you are passionate about can become your career choices. Sometimes you have to try out joining a top multi-level marketing company or new online side hustle. However, that does not imply that you do not follow other passions. You can enjoy them as hobbies while you focus on your primary goals.
