Ten Tips for Creating a Career That Lights Your Fire (part 2)


VI. Create a Passion Posse

In my interviews with people who have followed their dream, the most commonly mentioned success factor has been the support of the people around them.

Create a Passion Posse to support you in your pursuit. Friends, family, and colleagues can all be a great source of support and inspiration as you make your journey. It can be an informal support network, or a regularly scheduled meeting to exchange ideas and brainstorm solutions to challenges.

VII. Re-examine your definitions of success and failure

What is your definition of success? Is it getting in the way? Our culture places a lot of emphasis material accomplishments, status, etc. Unfortunately, that gets in the way of real happiness for a lot of people, who choose to stay on the treadmill in pursuit of that version of success.

Perhaps you're not at a point where you can or want to change that definition of success. That's OK, don't. Instead, try identifying one or two less common ways of identifying "success" - ones that come from the heart - and try to move towards them as well.

Our definition of failure, which tends to be all or nothing, also gets in the way. If you try something and it doesn't pan out, how do you see that? Is it a failure? Or is it an opportunity to learn from what you did and apply that knowledge to your future efforts?

If you "fail" in an effort to move toward your passion, it's not really failure. Think of it as a step in the right direction. Taking a longer term view can help with this.

VIII. Make a plan

Map out your Passion Pursuit. Whether that should be a high level overview or a granular action plan is up to you - you know how you work best.

Creating a plan will force you to think things through and add some comfortable structure to something that can seem very up in the air and undefined. It will also offer you those critical next steps when you are feeling sluggish or lost.

IX. Act! Today!

The fact is, the time will never be right. Something is always going to be less than optimum. With that in mind, don't wait! Do something right now that will move you toward your passion.

What two things can you do right away that will start the ball rolling? They don't need to be earth-shattering, they just need to happen.

X. Commit to making it happen

Let it out of your brain and into the open. Say, "I am going to do this." Say it out loud to yourself. Say it to a friend. Put it in writing and put it where you can see it. Once it's out in the open it will have room to grow. And that's exactly what you want!
