We talk about ‘crossroads in life’: the paths, the journey, the direction headed – how can you know where you are heading if you don’t know you’re starting point?
Think about it, you would never be able to plan a journey from A-B, without first knowing the destination of A!
Nowhere is this more visible in the questions ‘what do I want to be paid for?’. Many don’t know their current strengths, skills, weaknesses, knowledge, information, expertise, abilities, passions and goals. How do you know which direction to take, until you know the current surroundings?
How do you discover where you are now?
Here’s a few questions that can help you figure out where you’re at:
- What motivates you the most? (NOT what do you like, what DRIVES you, what MUST you inclide in your life?
- If you had to make one decision, what would it be?
- Describe in detail where you add most value, not what you do.
- What does your current reality ‘cost’ you?
- What has been your ‘finest hour’ so far? Is it a hint?
- What fears keeps you awake at night?
- What skills do you KNOW you have, yet others don’t yet?
- If you could have a meeting with your ‘future boss’ who, where would it be? (It could be you!)
- What do you know, that you excel in and could teach to others?
- What opportunities did you let slip? Are they still available?
- What do you fear won’t happen for you? Is it enought to drive you forward?
