023 - 9 Actions Towards Doing What You Love - Soulfull Sound Coaching

This month’s question comes from James.

I'm so tired of being unfulfilled in my current job and working for someone else. I would like to move into work I love by building my own business, where do I even start?

This episode is all about making the changes that get you closer to doing what you love. Too many people are in work they don’t love – let’s face work they hate, that drains them, they can’t wait to leave! If this is you or maybe work is ok, but you want to love it, put these actions in place and see how things can shift for you.

Here’s a snapshot of the first 2 actions:

Action #1: Know what it is you want to do.

Okay so you are most likely frustrated and know that you just want to get out! However, this isn’t enough to make a successful change. You might be clear on what you want to get away from, and it is super important that you know what you want to go towards. Be as clear and specific as you can be so that you have a ‘bull’s eye’ target to aim for. The clearer you are the easier it will be to achieve it. However, if you don’t know what you want yet, that’s ok, take the time to figure it out because you need to know to put a strong foot forward. The good news is that you really can’t get it wrong, because sometimes figuring out what you want means trying new things. Just know that there are options and you don’t have to settle for less because you can have more. And also know that clarity is a practice of questioning, so continue to ask yourself questions that guide you closer to your answers.

Action #2: Find out what has stopped you so far and do something different.

What has stopped you from making this change before now? In order to move forward you need to remove the obstacles that have got or that can get in your way. Is it and internal obstacle like fear, self-doubt or mindset? Is it an external obstacle like lack of skill or not having your finances in order? Most likely a combination of both. Make a list of all your ‘obstacles’ in one column and then in the opposite side, write down what you’d like to feel or have instead, or the solutions or ways to get rid of them. You don’t have to have all the answers, but by doing this exercise you begin to open yourself up to the possibilities of overcoming the obstacles that come up for you.

Here’s a summary of all 9 actions:
