Blog: There's no such thing as a career soulmate


Listen Later

I've never been 100% sure how I feel about the concept of soul mates.

Although the Pride-and-Prejudice-loving side of me wants to believe that we each have one specific soul mate who's our perfect match, I can't fully buy into the idea.

Now, don't get me wrong … I wholeheartedly believe in soul connections.

We've all experienced that phenomenon when you meet someone for the first time and you instantly click. It feels like you've known them forever, there's no awkward small talk (shudder), and you find yourself revealing your deepest beliefs in the first 15 minutes.

Sometimes, you just intuitively know that someone is right for you, whether it's as a friend, romantic partner, business connection, etc.

And the great part about soul connections is that there's no limit on how many you can have! Hopefully you have many people in your life who you feel deeply, soulfully connected to.

The part about soul mates that I can't fully get behind is the belief that there's only one person in the entire world who is your "other half," and you'll never be completely happy if you don't find that person.

That's a lot of pressure!

And it's the same level of pressure that we put on ourselves to pick the exact right career. It's setting you up for failure.

Here's what I've come to believe…

After you've listened, come share your comments on the blog.

GET IT WHILE THE GETTIN'S GOOD

Imagine this: You've been asked to cook a dish you've never made, and you've got two choices. The first is to shrug your shoulders, guess at the ingredients and the steps, and hope your dish comes out well.

The second is to follow a recipe and know your dish is a winner. It's a no brainer, right? Why would you suffer through guesswork when you could just as easily be certain?

So … if you wouldn't guess your way through making a meal, why in the world would you do it with something as important as your career?

The Passion Profile Short Course is like a recipe for your career path. It's the "secret sauce" that takes the thought out of trying to plot your career direction and prevents you from wasting years of your life hopping from job to job, hoping that you eventually stumble across something you love.

If your career has you feeling stuck, confused, and overwhelmed, and if you're starting to wonder if you might be "broken," then the PPSC is the perfect place for you to start your new career journey.

You can get unstuck, feel confident that you're on the right track, and build the foundation you need to have a thriving career and life — in as little as one day.

The PPSC might be right for you if:

  • You're looking for a way to get un-stuck that doesn't involve a lot of time, money, or complication (it's a 5-ish hour, video-based DIY course with workbook prompts).
  • You've been hoping for a simple answer to this whole "finding career direction" thing.
  • You don't know where to start and wish someone would tell you what to do about your career situation.
  • You loved your Passion Profile Quiz result and want your life to actually align with what you read.

The PPSC is available 24/7, but between now and next Tuesday, May 21, we're offering the course for $199 instead of the usual $249. Use code MAY during checkout for $50 off!

AND ... we're doing something we've never done before (and may never do again, 'cuz it's kind of crazy): We're giving everyone who signs up in the next week a free, hour-long coaching session with one of us!

Need more details? Check out the PPSC page to see whether this is right for you.

Remember, you have until May 21st to take advantage of this special deal! After that, the price goes back to normal and the free coaching sessions disappear.
