Too Many Passions?

Too Many Passions

Entrepreneurs are known for forging ahead with an unshakable determination to live their passion. They spend countless hours pursuing their goals, but what happens when there are too many passions to sort through? To succeed, you need to assess where you want to spend your energy and concentrate on one career path to follow.

Entrepreneurs that find themselves chasing multiple paths are most likely equipped with a love for learning yet an attention span that leads to boredom easily. Knowledge is crucial and those torn between several passions find themselves learning a little bit about a lot and expertise ends up falling to the way side.

Gaining an understanding of an industry isn’t the hard part; it’s learning more than the bare minimum and excelling as an expert. Successful entrepreneurs focus on their niche and perfect it every year, because they have learned there is never a point in which you know everything.

Think long-term. If you can’t decide on what career to concentrate on, look to your future and what you want the end game to be. Which of your passions are most compatible with the lifestyle you want to maintain? Consider all factors, such as family, where you want to live and what your workweek will look like.

If the end game looks similar, perhaps there are low cost ways for you to experiment with a few passions until you can start crossing some off the list. What you perceive a passion to be can be drastically changed once you dig in and get involved.
