To start, I would like you to grab a piece of paper and pen ……
For about 5 minutes or so, think and jot down a list of roughly 7 future jobs or careers you would like to take up when you are older.
Now write down next to each or alternatively tick or cross whether or not you would actually thoroughly enjoy this path you want to take; whether each day, you will enjoy going to work. Think about the reasoning of your choice and if you realise it’s primarily for the salary then I strongly advise you to re-think your ideas.
From this, I hope you gathered what my aims where from that task. I wanted you to question exactly what made you put down them job types.
Are you going into a job for the money or the enjoyment and ambition?
If it is an ambition, you don’t take the salary into consideration as you take pleasure from doing it, the wage doesn’t dawn on you.
Do you want to be stuck in a 9 to 5 job paying a good wage but you dread in contrast to a comfortable/decent paid occupation that you take pleasure in?
I’m sure you are all attracted to the enjoyable profession that pays enough to cover the bills and offers enough to get by whilst admiring going to work.
-Money doesn’t matter:
If you ask me, I’d say motivation is more of an essential and more important if starting your own business. Of course money does help to fund but the key to success is motivation and incentive.
Remember: Mistakes are good; it is all part of learning. From each mistake, make sure you take a valuable lesson away and use it to your advantage. Ensure from your error, that you improve on it in the future and try and avoid it occurring in the future.
Learn from other people’s mistakes, you don’t live long enough to make them all yourself.
Money comes and goes but experience stays with you for life.
