51. Finding Your Passion Through Trial and Error


Listen Later

I know, another podcast on how to find your passion. How to make sure you never work a day in your life blah blah blah.

I used to HATE the saying, find what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. And, to be honest, I still don’t love that saying. Because it doesn’t get you anywhere. I know that I want to do what I love forever, of course, I do! Who doesn’t know that? Everyone knows that’s a fact. It doesn’t get you any closer to finding your passion, so what does?

Around this time I realized that if I wanted to find my passion, I had to find my strengths, so, I laid out my strengths. I like people and talking to people, I enjoyed helping others, I enjoyed creating and envisioning projects and great things. I enjoyed finances and money. And with this knowledge, I set out.

First, I tried investing, not for me. 

Then I tried to act as a car seller, then as an advertiser, a web designer, a recruiter, then a financial advisor. Each of these didn’t work for me, so after a month or so, I moved on. 

Because by now, I knew how to find your passion, you had to try new things, new things that might scare you. 

This is how you find your passion. Then, I decided to build a business, and Thought Hustle was born. And I love building this company. I found my passion, but I don’t plan to make money from this business for a while, as I am taking it slow, so while I nursed that passion, I continued to search for something that could bring me an income, as well as joy through the work.

Eventually, I landed on real estate, something that I love, and I bought a house, fixed it up, rented it out to a family for the first unit, and a friend to live with me. And I plan to grow that passion, buying more homes, while building and growing my business. These passions brought my strengths into play. Helping others, giving, managing finances, rent, and all the things I wanted to engage in on a daily basis.

That’s how you find your passion, you try new things.
