Over the past couple of years I have bounced from idea to the next in search of a business idea that could yield great returns and bring about fulfillment. I'm 25 and time is zipping by and I feel if I don't find my path soon..... well I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Maybe join Special Forces or Air Force Special Ops if I can't get a business started. I refuse to live a mediocre life.
I recently sold my soul to a job as a Project Manager and it is the worst thing ever. My first time ever working for the man as I have worked for my father's company and spent time in the military, which is totally different than working for the "man". This job is DRAINING the life out of me and sucking my enthusiasm in large amounts daily as it brings about zero fulfillment. Oh and fighting traffic for an hour is awesome!
I took this job with the intent of receiving "paid" training, create the needed contacts then to create my own business in this industry. The further I get into to this, I realize that it sucks and I have zero interest in it. This seems to be the common theme for my life over the years; finding something, spending months in it then realizing I have no interest or desire to go any further with it. Then I jump to something else. I need to find something and commit my life to it. I'm just wasting valuable time and getting nowhere doing this.
I understand that following your passion will not make you wealthy but is it possible to find something I halfway enjoy doing or something I can stand to put large amounts of effort into to create a successful life?
Basically how in the hell do I find what I'm looking for and stick to it?
How do I eliminate my "bouncing" and possible shinny object syndrome and commit to something?
I'm not looking for a blueprint to success or for someone to say "go this way!". I've been reading this forum for the past year, daily, and know the comments that would ensue from such a question.
Any who has been where I'm at and has gotten where I want to be, please chime in. How did you reconstruct your thinking and life to get going in the right direction?
I can't get where I want to be if I don't have a settled goal......
