No Idea What to Do With Your Life?

Many of us don’t know what we want early in life, which is when we’re faced with choosing our career. So it’s no surprise that more than half of us aren’t satisfied with our jobs. These Advisors in The Oracles have reached peak success and satisfaction in and outside of work, so we asked them how they did it.

1. Try many different things.

Find a job or build a business based on whatever you like to do when you aren’t working. If you don’t know what you like, try different things. Test out everything from operations to sales. Travel and take hula-dancing and pizza-making classes. Putting yourself in a position to do that might mean working a side hustle after your nine-to-five job. Email people asking for a month-long internship to learn from them for free. Try as many things as possible, because you won’t get anywhere by guessing

 Become an expert at what you enjoy doing.Think about how you want to spend your time long term. Take online classes to become an expert at what you love to do. When you’re the most knowledgeable person in your area of expertise, doors will open for you.

Become an expert at what you enjoy doing.

Step outside of your comfort zone.

Get comfortable with failure.

Find your own path, not your friend’s or family’s.

Follow your bliss.

Don’t give up.first, identify someone who has the career you’d like to emulate. Maybe you know them, and perhaps you don’t. Once you’ve chosen someone, make three columns on a piece of paper: Write down a list of their skills, your current skills, and the skills you’ll need to develop to follow in their footsteps. Finally, duplicate what they did to get where they are.Most people never find their passion because they give up too early. Two years into building my first online business, I felt stuck. I considered quitting, but I knew that if I did, I might never stick with anything long enough to succeed. Eventually I learned to love what I did, especially after becoming successful.
