How to find a job you love: five real steps. My history

I don't want to go to work. Every day you have to force yourself. Just tired of work. I tried many activities - and all is not right. This is how people who have not found their place in life feel. How to find a job to your liking? How to find your favorite job so that every day does not seem like unbearable hard labor, but is filled with happiness and meaning? Yuri Burlan's training "System-Vector Psychology" helps us to understand this issue.

How to find a job you love at 40

This question often arises in 40 years.

Firstly, a person at this age has already tried something in his life, but did not understand where you can make your efforts in order to enjoy work.

Secondly, there is anxiety: I am already 40 years old, and I have not decided on the business of my life. At this age, people are already reaping the fruits of their realization - prosperity and a sense of satisfaction. And you don't have it. Moreover, no one needs an employee who does not burn with his work, works under duress.

Third, it seems that age makes it difficult to find interesting work. An applicant with no work experience at this age raises suspicions: where has he been so far, what did he do?

Such fears are understandable, although they can arise at any age. For example, it often happens that a person graduates from a university, goes to work in his specialty and realizes that he has chosen not his own business. Therefore, for him the question "How to find interesting work to your liking?" no less relevant.

At any age there is only one opportunity - to understand what you want. What are your true desires and abilities by nature? The exact answer to this question can be obtained at the training "System-Vector Psychology".

Know yourself to find a job you love

The system of eight vectors gives us a complete picture of the human psyche. You just need to decide which vectors you have. This helps not only with the choice of profession, but also with working conditions.

For example, the presence of a skin vector suggests:

• interest in such professions as a dancer, athlete, salesman, manager, businessman, economist, lawyer, engineer;
• desire for high material wealth, social status, career growth;
• suitable work with constantly changing conditions, business trips, requiring organizational and leadership skills, competition and a competitive spirit.

The owner of the anal vector will suit the work:

• cabinet maker, clerk, archivist, librarian, historian, teacher, trainer, expert, analyst;
• requiring special attention to detail, the ability to find errors, accuracy, love of order;
• with the absence of rush jobs and tight deadlines, the ability to complete one thing before starting the next.

The combination of different vectors in one person allows you to increase the possibilities of implementation, choose a more multifaceted and interesting job.

For example, a common combination of vectors in a city dweller is anal, cutaneous, and visual. The owner of such a vector set will cope with the work, in which, respectively, you need:

• accuracy, attention, quality, good memory, analytical skills;
• speed, adaptability, flexibility;
• the ability to feel the mood of people, communicate and help them.

A more complete understanding of oneself is formed at the training "System-Vector Psychology". After all, the choice of profession and work will depend not only on the presence of vectors, but also on the degree of development of their properties and state. For example, the presence of a sound vector in a state of non-realization will plunge a person into depression, in which there are no desires at all, especially the desire to work. In this state, any work will seem meaningless, and it will be difficult to make the right choice.

Bundles of vectors can give stable life scenarios that can be positive or negative, that is, interfere with the search for your dream job. For example, in the skin vector there is a scenario for failure that is formed when a child with a skin vector was humiliated in childhood, hitting his desire to be the first. For example, they said: “You are an ignoramus, stupid, incapable of anything. Your hands are growing out of the wrong place. You will work as a janitor all your life. Thus, they deprived him of the potential to experience healthy ambitions and a desire for social status, characteristic of this vector.

The skin vector endows a person with high adaptability, so the skin child quickly adapts to the feeling that he is a loser. Such a person in adulthood will not be able to find a job to his liking, because he will always choose places where he will feel humiliated, make mistakes and unconsciously enjoy it. It is possible to get rid of such scenarios only through awareness of the causes of their occurrence. And then the way to really interesting work will open.

What to do to find an interesting job

The job search algorithm is already known:

• decide what you would like to do;
• write a resume;
• find an employer;
• get an interview.

At each of these stages, knowing about vectors helps. We have already decided on the first stage - we know exactly what we want. But just as accurately, we can understand what kind of employer we need. What is the vector set of the manager, how developed are his properties, which means how successful will be the activity of the organization or department in which you have to work. What are the values ​​that the team you want to work in broadcasts, and are you on the way with it. This understanding helps to correctly compose a resume so that it exactly falls into the employer's shortage.

No less important step when looking for a job. Knowing the values ​​and keywords of different vectors will help to do this successfully. For example, the owner of the skin vector will speak briefly and to the point, as it saves his energy and time. He will use the words “logical”, “no”, “impossible” in speech. His idioms: “Time is money”, “I don’t have time”, “I don’t owe anything to anyone”, “What will I get from this?”. He will be interested in your ability to self-organize, meet deadlines, adapt to change, and strive for career growth.

The owner of the anal vector will be interested in your professionalism, experience, talk about the quality of work, about the order. He can mention past experience, traditions, refer to authoritative opinions. “I said - I did”, “You go quieter - you will continue”, “Tested by time”- his expressions.

Any employer, of course, will like it if you share their values. If you are on the way with this person, you will be able to speak the same language with him, using the same keywords. And then you will have mutual understanding from a half-word.

Condition is the key to interesting work

It happens that you look for a job for a long time, you go to interviews, but they don’t take it. What is the reason? We often pay attention to external impressions, but think little about internal state. When we do not know what we want, or we are afraid, or we do not see the point in work at all, this is reflected in our state. We are lethargic, apathetic, not enthusiastic, that is, we do not show our interest in work. Then the employer will not be interested in us.

The same thing happens if we are looking for only the possibility of earning money or solving our personal problems in work. While choosing an interesting job to your liking, you need to focus on such a realization of your innate abilities that would benefit people. It gives double pleasure from labor activity- from the fact that we ourselves enjoy doing what we love and give pleasure to people.

Training by Yuri Burlan "Systemic Vector Psychology" provides all the tools for understanding other people. Dislike disappears, there is a sincere interest in others. Understanding and the ability to realize my properties give happiness and the feeling that I can do everything, I can cope with any task.

With such a person it becomes pleasant to communicate. And since in our collectivist mentality even working relationships are largely built on personal connections, such a person is more likely to be hired.

Finding a job is easy if you know what you want

Now we know all the components of finding an interesting job:

• knowing yourself, your desires and values ​​- what your soul lies in;
• understanding other people, their desires and values, the ability to speak their language;
• good psychological state.

With such baggage, the question “How to find a job you like?” becomes easily resolved. That is why it is better to start looking for such a job with Yuri Burlan's free introductory online training, which helps to gain this knowledge.

“I got a job that I like. It's amazing that this kind of work even exists. I thought there was no such job for me in nature. But ... oh, miracle! I have changed a lot, my priorities have changed. I found something that gives me joy!”

Proofreader: Natalia Konovalova

We all love articles in the style of "twenty ways of this" and "thirty ways of that": structured lists, concentrated information - just what you need to read on the run or at lunchtime.

Today I want to write an article in the same style, based on personal experience and refuting the traditional ways of finding a job for the soul.

When I got tired of working in the financial sector, then, like many in a similar situation, I thought - what would I really like to do? Without answering this question on my own, in the spirit of the times, I dumped it on the Internet: OK, Google, how can I find a job I like? Google gave out a bunch of information. Only it didn’t help me much, and here’s why.

What is usually advised in such articles?

Remember who you wanted to be as a child?

Childhood, they say, is disinterested and not clouded domestic problems, and therefore, it is childhood dreams that will lead you to your true calling. Great, I remember very well what I wanted to be as a child. An astronaut and a princess. I don’t remember exactly whether it was at the same time or not, but both professions at my current 38-year-old age look a little doubtful for implementation.

I wanted to become an astronaut when I re-read the science fiction books of Belyaev and Krapivin: to search for new worlds, surf the universes, heroically create a bright future for earthlings - it seemed like a romantic and right thing to do.

I dreamed of becoming a princess solely to wear beautiful dresses to the floor and ride a horse, always white, through your own kingdom. In my opinion, this dream appeared after the movie "Three Nuts for Cinderella", if anyone remembers this.

What now? Now I am not very drawn to explore space, I prefer earthly nature; I do not really like Long Dresses- I prefer jeans with sneakers. So both of these dreams, although they remained touching memories, did nothing to help me find a new occupation.

Ask yourself: what do you love the most?

Write a list of three to five to ten favorite hobbies and think about how you could make money with this? What are the professions related to your hobbies?

Write book reviews? To be honest, I'm not sure that you can make good money with this, but this is also not the kind of thing to which the soul lies. I do not want to translate reading into the category of duties.

Write: writer, copywriter, translator.

Copywriting, by the way, is the closest occupation for me to my liking. I thought about it for a long time, studied content exchanges, demand, and literature. But something in my heart was categorically against it. I realized that: since writing has always been my biggest and most reverent dream, then writing to order advertising texts and articles for me is akin to betraying this dream.

Do not misunderstand me, I consider high-quality copywriting to be a very worthy occupation. But this is just my cockroach: I'm afraid to write texts to order. I'm afraid that this will become a routine, kill the magic and the desire to write what you want.

Travel: By the way, there are many options here.

Travel journalist for magazines like GEO National Geographic (that's cool, yes; it also implies epic photography skills).

A tour guide or guide in another country (but this is more likely not a job while traveling, but an opportunity to earn money abroad).

Photographer. Stewardess. Cruise ship employee...

All these professions mean that most of the time will have to be spent on trips and treat the environment in a practical way: look for angles, interesting places for reviews, non-trivial sights for tourists. It's all great, yes. But what I like most about traveling is the unhurried contemplation of nature and architecture, away from the tourist trails and in the most touristic off-season. In addition, with a teenage son and a Siberian cat, I can’t afford to constantly travel around the world now. Alas.

Kittens: veterinarian or breeder. Oh no. Both professions - not at once. The vet out of me is like a ballerina out of an elephant. Everything that is connected with treatment, injections and, God forbid, blood, I am afraid of panic. There is no breeder either: otherwise, all the kittens will simply stay with me, because I won’t be able to part with a single fur ball.

What is the result? Everything I like is not very suitable for a dream job. It turns out that it is not enough to look for an occupation in the sphere of your hobbies, it must also intersect with character traits, personality type and personal cockroaches. This is where the following common advice comes in.

Pass career placement tests

Passed. In principle, a good way. Gives a wide variety of options. Various tests offered me work: a journalist, a lawyer, a scientist, a creative manager, an interior designer (which is completely “hot”), but they did not find out the main thing: I am a terry introvert. Any work with people I prefer to work alone, ideally - remotely and with correspondence on Skype.

One of these tests gave me the following verdict:

“People of this type are distinguished by analytical abilities, rationalism, independence and originality of thinking, the ability to accurately formulate and express their thoughts, to decide logical tasks, generate new ideas. They often choose scientific and research work and conditions that give freedom for creativity. Work is able to captivate them so much that the line between working time and leisure is blurred. The world of ideas for them may be more important than communication with people. Material well-being for them is usually not in the first place.

And as a suitable profession, I was offered the profession of a web analyst. Let's say it looks like the truth, but still not the same. I have always dreamed of creativity, and if you choose a business to your liking, then it should definitely contain a decent share of creativity.

Other common methods

Asking the opinion of relatives and friends, moving forward a year or five years and presenting myself in a new capacity, thinking about what I would like to learn - also did not work very well for one reason or another.

How to proceed? I don’t know, I was just lucky or the system worked, but I was lucky enough to find my favorite thing. I am in love with my new profession as an interior 3D visualizer, and every new day that I spend creating my 3D worlds, I am infinitely happy. But when I started looking for a job I liked, I had no idea about such a profession.

How did I come to her? I tell and invite you to try to repeat my path.

Create an image

Find a time and place where no one and nothing will distract you. Forget about childhood, about “it is necessary” and “it is customary”, about loans and rent, about your education, about red diplomas and other crusts, about many years of experience in the profession, forget about everything. If you are reading this article, it means that not everything in your life suits you and it's time to imagine a new life.

So, imagine that you have already found your dream job, no matter what it is called at this stage. Take a piece of paper (it’s better to write by hand than to type text on a computer, special neural connections of the brain turn on here) and describe: how do you imagine yourself in a new capacity?

For me, the ideal job is me, laptop, cat, quiet workplace in my apartment or in a small house, my family is nearby, and nothing else. No tiresome trips to the office, no traffic jams, no more God forbid open-space, meetings, conferences, business meetings, dozens of colleagues, hundreds of reports and heaps of bosses. No more overtime and staying up late - how many years of my life have I killed for this!

Type of work: something highly technical to use the brain; something creative enough that it is not crowded and not boring within the given limits; something big enough that you never stop learning and that there is no limit to perfection. Something like this.

What is the ideal job for you?

Find out what it's called

Now that you have formulated a future image for yourself, try to determine the work that will lead you to this image. There are several ways. Try everything.

If you are comfortable working for a full-time or part-time permanent employer, look at the vacancies on the largest job search sites: hh.ru and superjob.ru.

It's all about filters. If you already know what industry you would like to work in, look for it. If you don't know, check everything. Most likely, you can hardly imagine what a variety of professions are now required and you will be very surprised by their assortment.

The main thing at this stage is to crush in yourself “I can’t do it” and “I can’t do it”. Now you just need to determine the name of the profession of your dreams.

Here are the vacancies offhand (in brackets - wage) in the section "Work in the field of entertainment, art, mass media in St. Petersburg": copywriter / content marketer (50,000 rubles), dancer of exclusive dance shows / dancer (90,000 rubles), instructor-potter studio (45,000 rubles), lyricist/copywriter (in English) (60,000 rubles), doll decorator (45,000 rubles), quest administrator (50,000 rubles), wedding planner (40,000 rubles) , actor (Santa Claus / Snow Maiden) (15,000 rubles). The quest manager made me especially happy!

Search using different areas and filters, not even limited to the search city.

If your dream is freelancing, look for your dream job on freelance exchanges.

I recommend monitoring demand on four exchanges: fl.ru, freelance.ru, freelancer.com, upwork.com. The last two are international, suitable for searching if you own English language at least at the student level. But it will greatly expand your opportunities in the search.

See what projects customers require, how much they are willing to pay for them, what are the main requirements. Something from the demand you will definitely like.

Here is a selection of the most popular queries at a glance: website design, landing pages creation, video editing, online store promotion, group management in in social networks, copywriting, logo design and many, many others. Of the non-trivial ones, I came across the following: make a calculation of smoke removal, create a car reservation system, go to the library ... but this vacancy made my day: “Sex toys 3D modeling for 3D printing, only advanced level” ...

If you have a specific goal, such as living and working while constantly traveling, start by finding and reading blogs that inspire you from people who are already doing it.

Most often, in their blog, the authors directly or indirectly indicate their occupation, you just need to carefully read. For example, for those who dream about traveling, there is a fairly well-known blog http://traveliving.org by Masha Dubrovskaya, which contains a huge amount of useful information. Read, learn, be inspired!

If you are bold, original and dream of doing something completely unique, look for lists of unusual professions.

Professions such as dream seller(wish fulfillment company is located in the USA, in Chicago), brain extractor(this is such a specialist who has to get the brain out of the heads of dead animals and send it to restaurants for cooking delicacies), brader(braid braider) train pusher(such a profession has already appeared in Japan and the USA, payment is made for each person packed into the train), professional dormouse(for testing the comfort of hotel rooms), tropical island caretaker, water slide testers And researchers ocean depths - in fact, they exist and they periodically invite applicants. Dare :)

If nothing is 100% to your liking, choose the most suitable job for you as a starting point, even if you are not satisfied with everything in it. There is one trick here, described in the next paragraph.

Believe in the universe and the space of options

It's difficult at first. The secret is that as soon as you start walking the road from point A to point B - to the job of your dreams, completely new opportunities and options open up for you that could not open up at the starting point A. You meet someone, you will learn new information, you get new offers that you never would have received without moving. Therefore, if you did not manage to find the right option right away, and you could not plan your whole way to the end, but you intuitively feel that you are stepping in the right direction - trust this feeling.

It was this step that led me to the profession of my dreams. I started my journey as an interior designer. Understanding its basics, requirements, ways of learning, I came across a description of the specialization of an interior 3D visualizer, and insight came right away - that's it!

So do you: you will start the journey, start learning, communicating with new people, with professionals and mentors, and this path will open many other forks for you. You will definitely have plenty to choose from!

Try on a profession

Try new job profession. Sign up for training courses. Get an internship, an intern, an assistant to a professional. Feel your feelings. The feeling of joyful excitement, the desire to learn more and more nuances, the desire to grow and develop in the chosen direction did not leave you before the end of the course or practice? Hooray, you found your business!

If it left and you were disappointed - well, it doesn’t matter! It's great that you tried it, otherwise how else would you know that it's not for you? Crossing out the options brings you closer to the very cherished one. In addition, you have gained useful experience and new acquaintances! You can take a break and try something else.

Take a big step towards your dream

So, have you found a job that you love? Congratulations! The most important thing remains: to take a step from a dream to its fulfillment. Do it! Just be prepared first. Work in your chosen field in the evenings, on weekends, on holidays (this is temporary), earn your first money, your first clients and your first experience.

5 practical ways to find a job you love

The question of "how" is a question of action

A job you love is a job that brings you joy. You can't track it down otherwise. I want to get up in the morning. At the end of the working day, there is a sense of readiness to continue tomorrow. You endure something for yourself, you learn something new. This area of ​​life makes you happy. In theory, this is work for the soul. But in practice this is not always the case. Love for such things that a person leaves on earth can go and come again. Can go through a lifetime. Or maybe stay for a while, and then the work already, it seems, doesn’t please you, and you start looking for something new. It is difficult to keep track of this, moreover, it is not under the control of a person, it cannot be kept. That's why be prepared to be patient and not lose heart. Someone from the wise said that there are people who live one life, and there are those who live many short ones. The main thing is to do something, to search.

1. And yet, how to find a job to your liking? You know, all the answers about yourself are usually already inside a person. A good psychologist knows this and asks questions so that the person himself draws conclusions. Qualitative vocational guidance tests are based on the same. If you are at a crossroads - try to pass a similar test. Please note that as a result, you must have professional areas or a set of professions that are suitable for you. If, after passing the test, you end up with one answer “builder” or “programmer”, then look for a new one. Because a person cannot be tailored to one particular profession. The test should tell you about 3 areas where you are most drawn to, judging by the answers. And the choice of something specific is yours.

2. The second way to search is to start from your talents. That is, from the fact that you immediately get it as if you already learned it somewhere. But in fact, you have it by nature. You intuitively understand what's what. This is talent. Think well, every person has his own talent, at least one. Some have several, it's more difficult for them. I don’t want big words, but maybe this is a professional purpose, who knows. Talent, backed up by hard work, will undoubtedly bring you the desired happiness.

3. What did you love as a child? In childhood, a person is least of all exposed to information meat grinder. The little man has no prejudices and porridge in his head yet, so his soul is not embarrassed. He behaves naturally, which in every possible way embarrasses adults who have forgotten how to be children. Remember what you liked to play as a child, how did you behave, what did you like? What did you want to become? If you don't remember, ask your loved ones. In the matter of finding yourself, all means are good, and this is all the more so.

4. And, finally, the fourth way out is without thinking, to do something. The first thing that comes to mind and will be approved by the heart. A trial and error method that will lead you to your favorite business. In words, everything is very simple - water does not flow under a lying stone. This a good option for those who are accustomed to action.

We have described for you four ways that can help you find yourself. Stock up on patience. This is advice both for those who have just embarked on this path, and for those who have been looking for a long time. But the most important thing is yet to come, read to the end.

A pure soul is the key to successful searches

Yes, such a twist. Do not think that this is advice from the realm of something unrealistic. Desires that complicate his life are sucked into a person on his life path by leeches. Among them are desires for power, fame, wealth, abundant attention of the opposite sex. Without love, these are appetites that are never satisfied. Their mother is greed. They blind and make a person unhappy. And they always lead astray. Therefore, when answering your question: “how can I find a job I like”, never be guided by the desires described above. Maybe that's why in the modern world there are so many of the same type of music and words. Think about it, because art is a mirror of life, reflecting the world as a whole.

Method number 5 - the most secret

In search of your favorite work, be humble, knowing that the most important wealth is your soul. And she rejoices when you do good to someone. Modern world forgets about it. There are a lot of problems, which means a lot of work. Think about what problems and how fun it would be to solve them. The wording of the question is equally important here. To answer - consider the ability. Well, for example: "I want to help people with work." How to do it? Become an HR manager, go to work in a job center, become an entrepreneur and create jobs, etc. Or: “I want people not to get sick.” Become a medical worker, or sew warm clothes, or become a comedian, and prolong people's lives.

Despite all the simplicity, you do not come to such an awareness immediately, but over time. The sooner the better, so we hope you listen. The solution must be realistic existing problems, or omissions. The void should not be multiplied.

P.S. Hooray for everything that happened!

And, at the end of the article, I would like to give inspiring The first biography that came to mind of the author is life path Italian actor, director and screenwriter Paolo Villaggio. Born in 1932, his youth falls on the devastation and poverty of World War II and its aftermath. Whom only Paolo did not work after graduating! And as a waiter, and an announcer, and an accountant in one of the large firms, until, at the age of 35, he finds his true calling. And he uses all his previous experience to create his most famous paintings. So what do you think? That's all for something you need. So be patient and go ahead! You will definitely be lucky to find a job to your liking.

In this article, we will tell you how to find a job you love. This is very important, because a person spends most of his life at work, and if you treat it exclusively as a source of income, and endure counting the days until the weekend, instead of enjoying your work, nothing good will come of it. Even Confucius said that if the work suits a person, satisfies him in every sense, then he will not have to work a day in his life.

For some, the search for your vocation may seem difficult and unnecessary, because the age when you often had to answer the question: “who do you want to become” has long passed. But good job is a job that you enjoy, not one that pays better, so it's important to be honest with yourself about what you really want.

Just close your eyes and dream, try to imagine yourself in ideal conditions. What would you be doing if it weren’t for… (lack of education, family circumstances, lack of the necessary amount of money, etc.)? Represented? Now write it down on paper.

If it doesn't work

Some people can have a kind of stupor where all that comes to mind is something like "". This happens from fatigue and unwillingness to leave the comfort zone, that is, the familiar environment. In this situation, you should seek help from loved ones. Of course, they are unlikely to tell you how to find a job, but, for example, your parents will be able to tell you what you wanted to be when you were a child. Perhaps this is exactly what you need. After all, all adults are big kids.

How to analyze your tendencies

It is equally important, when choosing a future job, to decide on your desires, goals and priorities. If you do not do this, you will be working in a "foreign" place, and, quite naturally, such work will give you discomfort. Therefore, on the same sheet you need to write down everything that you like. Write everything that comes to mind, everything superfluous (some completely crazy things) can then be deleted.

Love dogs? Write! Can't go a week without fishing? Don't forget to mark it in your entries! Are you good at cooking and proud of it? Be sure to write this down too!

How to draw the right conclusion

If you wrote down that you were a banker, but at the same time, nothing related to economics and finance is listed among your inclinations, you can safely cross out this entry - the ideal job must necessarily resonate with your desires and life priorities. If there are no such intersections, cross out without hesitation until the list is reduced to a few positions.

So, you are left with only a few options for potentially interesting types of work for you and a list of inclinations. It remains to choose the best of these options. The easiest way is arithmetic. The more points from among your desires correlate with a specific job option, the better it is, because your favorite job is always a hobby. It is impossible with a soul that you do not truly love.

How to move from words to deeds

Perhaps even now you are left with not one option, but several. Well, the sages say that if you toss a coin in the air, while it falls, you will understand what you want. As a rule, it is so - even if the options seem equivalent, one of them appeals to you more than the others, and you should stop there.

But if you can’t decide on something specific, prepare another sheet of paper. On it you need to write down what is required for this or that job: knowledge of languages, education, some specific skills, cash and so on. And, accordingly, the fewer such points a particular work option has, the better it is.

As a result, you will have only one option for work, and this is exactly what you need. All you have to do now is fulfill all the conditions that separate you from the ideal job. Need to learn foreign language? Sign up for courses. Need a diploma? Enter the correspondence department. Need money? Start saving today.

Make a clear plan of your actions: write down goals for the week, month, quarter, year, and how you will achieve them. And most importantly, remember why you are doing this, and do not stop.

Perhaps the preparation will take some time: a year, two, maybe even five years. And yes, it won't be easy. Leaving your comfort zone is always difficult. But if you do not do this today, tomorrow will not be easier, and the dream job will remain in your dreams. Therefore, you will have to show perseverance and diligence.

Now that you know what will be best for you, it's time to move from theory to practice, from words to deeds. After all, in the future, doing what you love, you will receive only positive emotions from life. It's worth it, trust me.

Mistake #1 "Dreams"

Dreams are great, it was thanks to them that people managed to go into space, come up with light, the Internet, telephone and a bunch of other amazing things. If you have a dream of becoming someone (no matter who or how crazy it looks), try to become that person.

But when implementing this, it is very important not to lose your head. For example, if you have wanted to play the guitar all your life, and now you have forgotten about it and work in a company in order to provide for your family, you cannot just take everything and leave and follow your dream.

Here it is very important to feel the line between outright madness and a dream. For starters, you can find a job that will take you less time than the previous one and give you the opportunity to spend more time training. Of course, this is too radical a step for many and few will go for it, but the goal was to convey that you can do anything if you wish.

Mistake #2 "Fear"

This is a mistake related to the first one, many people never actually realize their dream because they are too afraid to do it. In order to achieve something, something must be sacrificed. All successful people know this rule and understand that nothing will come of it if you do not overpower yourself.

This situation is like fear young guy when he likes a girl but is afraid to approach her and get to know her, because he is too afraid that she will tell him no and he will become embarrassed or something. But if he does not approach her, he will never know what she will tell him.

Therefore, most people prefer to hide their dreams behind fears and come up with excuses for themselves, all sorts of things.

Mistake #3 “A hobby cannot become a job”

Many, especially in the CIS, like to say that "hobby is a hobby, and work is work." Implying that these things are not compatible with each other. But we, like most of the successful businessmen who made their fortune themselves by “honest work”, are of the opinion that a hobby may well become a job, and most of them have made a job out of a hobby. For example - Steve Jobs, Sam Walton, Richard Branson and many others. By the way, we advise you to read the rubric, and it contains very interesting things on this topic.

Mistake #4 "No Purpose"

Not the name of the goal any work will not bring pleasure. Everyone who loves their work has a purpose. For example, Henry Ford had the goal of making a car that would be accessible to any American. It was this goal that made him move forward and work dozens of hours a day.

For each person, the goal can be different, someone just wants to prove to others that he is worth something and it motivates him, others want to do everything that interests them, like Richard Branson (we highly recommend studying the history and listening to audio books of this businessman ). This is one of the most amazing businessmen we have ever written about.

Error No. 5 ""

Not many lucky ones managed to find their calling the first time, the stories of successful businessmen confirm this. Many of those who now know the world how the richest people did not start their journey from the simplest professions, for example, Brian Tracy, worked on a ship in his youth, sawed wood and worked in many other hard jobs.

Today, many people know Brian Tracy as a successful speaker, a motivator who inspires millions of people every year with his books and trainings around the world.

Error No. 6 "Don't box yourself in"

Many limit themselves when looking for a job, saying to themselves at the same time - “I'm too stupid for this job, I can't count quickly, etc. and so on.". Of course they do it not intentionally, they really think so. So many thoughts appear, it's deep psychological question(why they arise), for those who are interested in this question, we recommend reading books about psychology.

If again, without going into details, this is a negative attitude that can be easily suppressed during training. Simply put, you just need to increase your self-esteem. Remember that once you were not able to do Everything that you can do now (walk, write, speak) and all the other things that you know. Skills are experience and training and nothing more.

Remind yourself of this when bad thoughts start to flatter your head and just do it (realize the dream).

Subscriber story "How I found a job I love"

When we were writing this article, it so happened that one of the subscribers wrote to us, we started a conversation and he said that he would like to share his story of how he found his job to his liking. And we decided that it would be an interesting experience for other readers.

Story from a subscriber: "How I managed to find a job to my liking":

Before I found my dream job, I spent over 6 years looking for a job that gave me pleasure in the process of doing it, during which time I resold more than 10 different jobs in various fields.

I literally took on everything that was possible, but despite the high salary, I could not stay in one place for a long time. No, I was not kicked out, I just felt that this was not what I needed. I worked for a long time as a webmaster, then at a construction site, then as a freelancer, then I created website templates and so on. But that's the point, let's go straight to the moment when I realized what I would like and how I realized myself in it.

Step #1 Brainstorm

I decided that first I need to decide what I would really enjoy, no matter how strange it may sound to many, I liked 2 things, playing the console and creating something interesting from scratch, it doesn’t even matter what (I liked the process itself), I decided to try myself in new sphere, then it sounded wild (so in those days) this area was not as developed as it is today (and practically no one has done this yet) in Russia.

In general, I decided to combine 2 favorite things, create and play Online Games. That is, I created my blog + YouTube channel and began to post my games there with comments, guides and much more. But at this stage it was just a dream, I continued to work at my main job and free time decided to dedicate this idea.

Step #2 Implementation

Now I had to implement my crazy ideas, at this stage I faced dozens of problems that I then thought would never end. I remade the same videos hundreds of times, there were very few views. The videos themselves were uninteresting, the sound hissed, the camera did not capture well, and so on.

More than once I thought of abandoning this business, since a year has passed, and I have not achieved a tangible result. After all, the goal was to make it your job, that is, to earn money on it. A few more months passed and I still managed to catch a wave and I fixed most of my jambs, now let's go to in large numbers new subscribers, views, site and channel finally came to life.

Step #3 Enjoy

Having gone through all this path, I still managed not to give up and achieve what I wanted, luck frankly turned away from me, but despite this, I still managed not to give up, which I am very glad about. Today, with the help of my website and channel, I already earn the same money that I did in other jobs, while I have become much happier because I am doing what I really like.

I hope you can not give up and find a job you like, which will give you a lot positive emotions, like me. I also wanted to note that reading or listening to history successful people can change your life, they are the ones that inspired me to find my dream job. I would like to wish good luck to everyone who decided to change their lives for the better.

Sincerely, Roman Sokolov.

Well, that's all we have, we hope now you know how to find a job you like, or at least we have given you a direction in which you can move. I would also like to note that this is especially important for our young subscribers. That you should always have a back-up plan. It is certainly necessary to follow the dream, but it is also worth understanding that for this you do not need to leave the university or college. Many begin with the stories of successful businessmen and think they can repeat the story of Steve Jobs. We do not recommend this approach, it is better to try to implement it in your free time, like Roman, there are weekends, holidays, vacations, etc. for this.
