You don’t have to love everything you do, I’ll concede to that.
But when it comes to your business– it should be toddler like when you reject the broccoli train forcefully invading your lips.
It’s going to be hard and the only way to sustain your efforts is to enjoy the process itself.
Which is why I don’t have guilt.
I try things out, don’t like them– then cut them out and never think about them ever again.
Others will shame you. Try to tell you it’s wrong, and stick longer, but why? Just because it takes you less time to figure out you don’t like it, doesn’t mean you might have fallen in love tomorrow had you stuck it out.
In reality, you’re at an advantage.
At least you won’t be stuck rat racing and tail chasing for 50 years to suddenly have a surprise crash followed by a fun identity crisis.
The game is a simple one and if we didn’t complicate ourselves and how important we think everything is, it’d be easy too.
We have to do things we don’t love, cool. I get that. So, take a job that at least covers some of your values– i.e. the company culture matches your personality. Now, it’ll be easier to have better days.
On the side, whatever you choose to build, that’s treated different.
YOU HAVE TO LOVE IT.
From exploring and taking on different clients, throughout my side hustling, I’ve learned so much about what I don’t want– and that informs what I do.
This is the key.
Try things, and move on fast when you realize you don’t like them.
With movement, you’ll land on your thing.
P.S. Oh, and remember nothing lasts and nothing matters. Find yourself stuck in a rut? Do something scary (I went skydiving) that you kinda want to do.
