Flip 3: Should >> WANT

Alright, hope you’ve done some thinking since yesterday. Today’s flip might be THE MOST important one. It’s time to flip should to WANT.

 

You know there’s a whole lot of ”shoulding” going on out there. You should get a full time job. You should take another step on the career ladder each year. You should take that job because it will look good on your resume. You should…

 

But when did you last ask yourself what you WANT? Time to start paying attention to what you want in your professional life. Quite often I meet people struggling with not knowing what they want. When we’ve talked for a couple of minutes they say ”What I really want is…. But that’s impossible”. My reply: Impossible is just a point of view.

 

In my experience we often know what we want, we just don’t know how to get there. And therefore we call it off as impossible. To create your ideal professional life you have to admit to yourself what you really want. No matter how far fetch it might seem. (if this realtes to you I reeeeally recommend you to check out my eBook)

 

So. Stop shoulding. Admit to yourself what you really want. And be very careful before you call it off as impossible.

Flip 1: Weaknesses >> Strengths

We’re experts on putting a whole bunch of time and effort on improving our weaknesses. Right? What if we put the same about of time and effort on enhancing our strengths?

 

You’ve probably heard this before, but do you actually apply it? When we use and enhance our strengths, it might not feel like work anymore. It’s easy and fun – and that cannot be work, right? Might actually be you have this feeling of ”cheating”…

If you feel like that I say congratulations! You’re on the right track. When you’re working in areas where you’re uniquely talented, work is both easy and a whole lot of fun. And that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be.

 

Start practicing today!

 

One thing that happens when you free your inner entrepreneur is that suddenly you realize there’s an alternative:

Instead of waiting for someone else to provide what you’re looking for, you can go out and create it yourself. Exactly the way you want to have it.

 

Remember this when you’re longing for a change. What are you waiting for? Why not create it yourself?

 

Attended Startup Day this weekend. Inspiring and fun! One thing that I keep thinking about is that business and innovation happen ”in between”; when different industries, competences, perspectives etc. meet. I think this is also true when it comes to you. When you let your talents and strengths in diverse areas meet, magic happens. Too bad traditional roles seldom support that. Time to remember that you can create the professional life you want. Enter a mindset of possibilities and free your inner entrepreneur.

 

Let’s create magic! 🙂

 

Ok there’s a whole lot of ”should-ing” going on out there. There are “shoulds” about what we should do, how we should do it, whom we should hang out with and so on and so forth.

What if we took a should free day and instead focused on want? What you want to do, how you want to do it, with whom you want to hang out… Would it make any difference? I bet it would.
