FINDING A NICHE (part two)

In my last post I encouraged those who are determining what their niche is to write their story. The second step is to take a long hard look at your past. Some of this will already be revealed in your story. I encourage you to also take a good look at your job history. What things did you excel in? What didn't work so well? What were some good times, what were some bad times? What lessons did you learn? Asking yourself these questions and listing the good, the bad, and the lessons learned in each of these jobs should overlap in certain areas. Seeing this will help you determine what it is you do best. In doing these two exercises I learned what my passion and drive was. I learned what I really enjoyed doing. I learned that the skills that I had acquired began as early as my teen year. Write down your fears and facts as well. Look at how the facts you know to be true can overpower the fears that hold you back. I would suggest finding a coach or memtor to help you walk through this. Compare your findings with your story and see what major points rise aove the others. In my next post I will give you some resources that I know could be of help to you.
