Why is your current job not meeting your needs?
Understanding the answer to this question can be personal, real, honest, lifelong, and takes a lot of personal knowledge about yourself to answer.
A good friend and mentor of mine, Townsend Wardlaw, always asks me what I want to do? Because I know he is going to ask me that same questions every time we meet at 6:00am for coffee, I think about it often. And every time I think I have come closer to the answer, I stump myself. Like many organizations out there that want to be successful and see yearly growth, there is one common denominator that keeps them from those goals, themselves; and in my case, I am the only thing in the way of myself.
I utterly know that someday I will have my own business. What it will be I am not sure. I think about what I love, what drives me and makes me who I am today. I figure that will help me decide what it is I want to do. Using the principals from Jim Collins recent book, ‘Good to Great’ he describes the Hedgehog Concept. This helps organizations stay focused and go from good to great. There are three extremely basic questions to answer:
1. What you are deeply passionate about?
2. What drives your economic engine?
3. What you can be the best in world at?
Am I doing today what is my God given talent and perhaps could I be the best in the world at that? Am I, or can I get paid to do this?
Such simple yet destructive questions.
