Do What Really Makes You Come Alive

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go do that. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive."

Terry Grundy.


I love this quote. If the world were filled with people pursuing their passions, it would be a completely different place.

How would your business be different if you were doing something that truly energized you?

Are you just going through the motions because it is something that you think you should do? Or something your brother or best friend talked you into? If so, you are in trouble.

I remember a speech Deepak Chopra gave to a group of network marketers where he told them it should be easy. He said if it wasn't fun, if it wasn't easy, they should get out.

Maybe all we need to do is look at what we are doing and FIND the fun in it, look at it with fresh eyes. If your business has become a drag do something NOW to change that. Imagine what your product is going to do for someone who really needs it. Or, imagine what your business is going to do for your family finances, or your time with your family.

Figure out what motivates you and then find that in your business.

I am a Yellow personality and what motivates me is helping people, and most especially my family. So what I have to do is imagine all the people who need my help in some way. I get energized by that.

Blues love adventure and excitement so they need to focus on the fun and excitement that is in their future and the future of those they help.

Reds need to make lots of money and love to organize people so they will focus on those aspects.

Greens need to learn all about what they are doing and they love to plan. So they help everyone learn everything they need to know. They love to plan the financial security of their family. They can focus on that.

The bottom line is this - find out what truly makes you come alive; then find a way to work on that with your business.
