Then who will take care of my family? You?
When I started my career, my only passion was to earn money
because most of us are not born with a silver spoon. we first have to meet our
financial responsibilities whether we like our job or not.
But advantages that we have is that meeting out
responsibilities make us professional and that professionalism brings us closer to our
dream job like it did for me and a lot of other friends know.
Today I am going to tell you exactly how
So, it doesn’t matter if you are student, a home maker or a
person stuck in job that you don’t like.

step procedure to find your dream job while you earn money.

Example- people like you and who had a 9 to 7 job and still
have found the work that they love to do.
This is a 3-step procedure
Get a job
Any job, the reason why I am asking you this is because job
teaches you lot of things
Like – team work, meeting deadlines, professionalism,
drafting mails and presentations
But most important teaches you something that not taught in
our college and that is how to talk to opposite gender without shaking.
I started my career in IT industry at start I love my job,
it makes me feel good, idea of desk job sounds boring to most of the people
If you want to know who you are then initial stage of your
career should be dedicated to personality development and a job that along with
getting you a pay – cheque.
List down your strengths and weakness
What will happen after you get a job?
You will work
And what happen to your work? It gets reviewed by your boss
and you colleagues and that is the best way to figure out your strengths.
Strengths will give you direction and weakness tell you what
you need to work on.
So, take your appraisals seriously, talk to your colleagues
because they know more about you and your style of working.
Look at work you have done in past and make a list of your
strengths and weaknesses because these realisations help you figure out who you
are.
Ask yourself the IKIGAI questions.
It is a Japanese concept means a reason being
“A reason to wake up every morning”
Ooo, fancy stuff…
But it’s as real as it gets. To find your IKIGAI you need to
answer 4 questions
- What you good at?
- What you love to do?
- What does world need?
- What can you get paid for?
At intersection of 4 questions is your IKIGAI
These questions look super simple. But these Questions are
difficult to answer.
You might wonder, I like to travel, watch movies, spend time
with family but who will pay me for it.
That’s what even I thought initially but the more you do
point 3 of our next session the easier it gets to answer these questions.
But note down these 4 questions.
Because in your journey of finding your dream job these
questions will help you think in right direction now while you discovering your
personality you can also figure out what your dream job is?
How to find out your dream job?
This is also a 3-step process
To make a list of jobs you like
CA, Engineer, Doctor, Lawyer, teacher, Civil services most
of us only know these jobs.
So, there’s a thing that will help you find your dream job
- Google
- Ask questions on Quora
- join different clubs like “Rotary”, “Toastmaster”,”
Checkmeetup.com”
- 4th most important thing to do to make a list
is think of skills instead of jobs.
Example – I want to be a writer then I will get just one job
but if you think it as a skill then you could be a columnist, tech writer, film
critic, travel writer etc.
- Learn those skills
Now you have a list of professions and skills that you are
interested in go out and learn them.
Get into a relationship
Get into a relationship with multiple jobs, don’t get too
excited. Now suppose list says you want to be a PR manager, photographer, stand-up
comedian. But you don’t have to marry right away. Just pick one and get into
committed relationship for couple of months to see where it goes.
Things that will help you achieve your dream job –
Yes, you need to know how to save money, how to invest your
money so that when you finally decide to quit your job, you at least have 4-5
months of your income as savings so that you are comfortable in case your dream
job pays slightly less in the beginning but you don’t worry there are many articles
and videos available on internet.
Exercise
Our body is capable of doing “x” amount of work and if all
that energy is going in your existing job then how will you find your dream
job? By increasing efficiency of body by doing exercising and eating right. I am
not telling you to do gym, just do walking, cycling and playing any sport for
30 minutes every day will give you huge amount of energy that you can invest in
getting closer to your dream job
