The secret to creating a successful home business is to first analyze yourself.
The secret is to not look at what others are doing until you identify key characteristics about yourself. Once you identify these characteristics, then you should look at what other successful people with those same are doing.
The characteristics you need to identify are:
What you enjoy doing
What you are naturally good at doing
Start by making a list of what you enjoy and what you’re good at. Then, you can find the sweet spot. That sweet spot is where your success lies.
How to List Your Enjoyments & Your Skills
In one column, list everything you enjoy. In the next column, list everything you are naturally good at.
Start with everything you enjoy. And I do mean everything-- not just “work” things!
If you like to read, put it on the list. If you enjoy hiking, put it on the list. If you enjoy hosting parties, cooking, meeting new people, discovering new places, building things, making spreadsheets, solving puzzles, wearing fancy clothes… put it on the list! Put it on the list alongside other things you enjoy, like working from home, working on a team, and so on and so on.
Next, list everything you’re naturally good at. Whatever comes easy to you.
Are you good at motivating people? Do friends come to you for advice? Are you good at small talk? Are you good at writing? Do people compliment your design sense? Are you handy? Are you good at organizing? Are you good at completing repetitive, mundane tasks? Whatever you can answer yes to, add it to the list!
Once you’ve completed your lists, you can compare the two to find your sweet spot.
How to Identify the Sweet Spot
The sweet spot is where what you enjoy doing meets what you are naturally good at doing. Jobs that live in the sweet spot are what you should be doing!
For instance, I enjoy dancing, traveling, and helping others and I’m naturally good at entertaining, encouraging others, and I have a lot of natural energy.
Now imagine that instead of considering those key characteristics about myself, I only considered how to make money fast. What do you think I would do?
Well, I can tell you what I would do because I already made that mistake-the #1 mistake I warned you about.
When I was a newbie entrepreneur, I spent $4,000 to go to a real estate investing conference. I knew there was a lot of money to be made in real estate and figured if they could do it, I could do it too.
Long story short, I was a real estate investor for a total of 4 days. Okay, I guess that is a short story short.
But let me tell you the moment I should’ve known my career as a real estate investor was doomed. It was when the instructor asked me, “What area of real estate are you interested in?”
Do you know what my reply was? It was, “Whatever will make me the most money.”
It’s no surprise the instructor didn’t waste much more time on me. As a successful entrepreneur in his field, he already realized real estate wasn’t for me.
I quickly realized that my enjoyment and my strengths did not align with real estate. It didn’t excite me. It couldn’t keep my attention… not even for a week!
But even though I wasted $4,000 chasing after someone else’s success, it wasn’t a complete loss. I realized I needed to take a hard look at myself. At what I enjoy. At what I am good at.
Clearly, that hard look at myself led to me becoming the world’s best event emcee and success coach. And that makes sense, right? After all, look at my list of my key characteristics again:
I enjoy dancing, traveling, and helping others, and I’m naturally good at entertaining, encouraging others, and I have a lot of natural energy.
Do you see where my enjoyment and natural abilities come together and point to doing what I do now-the job I love, the job I thrive at?
You can make a living doing what you love, too.
