Focus yourself on what you should be thinking about right
now. If what you are thinking about is something you enjoy,
you are on the right track for success.

• Track what you voluntarily do in your spare time. What
you are always eager to learn more about and never find
boring? What do you dream and think about when your
mind drifts? Ask yourself:
—What do you love doing?
—What fascinates you?

—What causes time to fly?
—What makes you happy?

• Don’t blindly pursue a career that others suggest or insist
is right for you. It may be worth taking a pay cut for a job
you love—and if you’re an entrepreneur like me, it could
make you a lot more money in the long run.

• See if any of your interests can be turned into a viable
source of income. Talk to other people making money in
an area you love. Could you do some variation of what
they do or take it in a new direction? Do you have the
training to get where they are? Can you get the training
to do what they do?

• Don’t begin a career solely for money or to please others,
especially if it isn’t what you love. Sooner or later, the
money won’t compensate you for the lack of passion
you feel.
