Ep 24 - Why 'Follow Your Passion' is Poor Advice (And What Actually Works)

Episode 24 Published 1 year, 2 months ago
Description

Are you interested in finding your passion? Well, the problem is popular advice to "find your passion" doesn't work; it's fundamentally flawed and can be very frustrating. 

Research shows that over 80% of adults don't know what their passion is, yet we're told we should. The truth is passion isn't something you find - it's something you develop through experiment and experience. 

You can't have passion for something you've never done. 

In this episode, Rob shares from personal experience how to grow towards something you end up feeling passionate about and explains that:

  • you start with what interests you
  • its based more on values
  • it takes time - often months or years
  • you find passion building after a while of trying things out
  • you can change over time anyway
  • it's not your head you should listen to.

Thanks for listening! See you again soon.
