Loving what you do ... business & personal

The topic of many discussions over the last weeks have revolved around "Do you Love what you do?"

Some of these discussions have been very passionate and others somewhat subdued... quite a few people have been really surprised to learn that for them, that they actually "Don't" love what they do and were a little taken aback to find out that they were way off track in terms of what they want to be doing and where they have ended up.... and others just love everything about their business.

I have to admit that I LOVE the twinkle in the eyes when others talk about what they love doing... it is so contagious and when you see other's passion, you feel what they feel and then all of a sudden you are whisked away on the journey with them as they share the story of what they do - without a doubt, it's one of my favourite parts of my job

So, when we are working with someone who has lost their way, how do you bring that back around to where you want to be going and what you want to be doing??

One of the key questions that we raise with our clients then is 'how much effort are you willing to put into actually taking this step?"

It's a warts and all approach, as we uncover all of these outside pressures; family, clients, expectations from colleagues, that have ultimately steered them in an alternative direction.

In some instances, they make a decision to keep doing what they are currently doing as the change is too hard for them to make.

Although, most make a decision to change direction and take their business to the place that they had always dreamed of when they first started their business.

The process is involved, but the reward far out ways any negatives that you may come across... I've done it with my business and so have a first hand understanding of what you need to put in to achieve what you really want.

Do you LOVE what you do?
