These 2 questions, I am sure, are 2 of the most common questions asked by people in their 20s and 30s…including myself. I believe it is easy to find what you are good at - whatever you like to do (during your childhood), which actually attracted a lot of compliments from your family and other adults. That, can be considered your talent(s).
But all these talents and interests are not that useful when it comes to our ever-materialistic world. With the ever-increasing inflation rate and the ever-consistent salary/bonuses (well…it can be BETTER or WORSE….and since a recession is coming….i think it’ll be the latter)…things are not going to be easy when it comes to $$$. Let me give you an example of a conversation between me and a friend.
Miss L : Alvin, I’m losing interest in my job…it’s so boring…
Alvin : What do you think you’re good at?
Miss L : I don’t know. But is watching HK drama considered a skill? I doubt right. I don’t think I can earn a living by doing that!
Alvin : Well, you can always start a web site doing reviews for HK drama…and once it is GOOD enough, you can think of directing people where to rent or buy cheap HK drama. You might be able to earn some comission from there. But it’s not going to be easy since there are already something similar out there.
Miss L : So what am I going to do?
Alvin : Be more specialized? Like …HK drama on crime and investigation? I believe if you really want to do it, there are plenty of case studies for you to look at. But are you actually willing to let go of your $ 5000 a month salary you have now?
Miss L : That’s a bit difficult. I doubt I can survive without the $ 5000.
Alvin : Then do it as a part time. Go full-time once you are able to get a steady income out of it. I know it sounds easy but it’s not THAT easy. Well, at least I guess you should try it out the things that you think you’re good at. If it doesn’t work, just throw it away and find another one. But bear in mind that it might not bring you as much money as your $ 5000 a month job.
You see, I believe there are more money making opportunities out there than the number of people attempting to grab such opportunities. But there are few questions which you need to ask before taking up these opportunities….. Are you willing to take a risk? Do you think you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur…and be your own boss? and the most important…Is this business opportunity really really meant for you? No point going for something which will help u earn money….but you’re not interested in it…and you might end up giving up halfway.
By giving up halfway…you might lose more money than you could possibly imagined. So, try for something which might not earn you a lot of $$…but something you are willing to put your heart and soul into it. Make it a part of you…. I think it’ll bring you happiness and satisfaction that money might not be able to buy.
At least, that’s what I think.
