e’ve been discussing my new book, What’s Your Next?, which launches February 23.
And this question has come up a number of times –
How do you find your next?
Sometimes when we’re in the midst of our own life, in the trees of the forest looking up through our own perspective, we can’t see everything others can.
We often have a blind eye to some of our own strengths, and get caught in the rut of just doing the thing we were trained to do. And maybe we don’t even like doing it (or the way we’re doing it) anymore.
First, you need an inner circle of other like-minded people, a mastermind group, or a mentor who knows you well. They need to be people you can trust to give perspective, advice, and honest feedback – not just a yes-man or yes-woman.
Truth and authenticity in asking for that help is key.
The second piece to figuring out your next is: Do you know what your real strengths and passions are? It’s probably not what you think it is. Figuring out your strengths gives you clues as to where you can combine them with your passions, or in collaboration with others, to drive you to your next.
My two quick tips to find your next:
#1 Surround yourself with people who can give you honest, authentic feedback about your strengths, and perspective outside of yourself.
#2 Use some kind of index (like a StrengthsFinder) to ensure you understand where your strengths are, so you can align yourself with your passion in life.
