Did you used to read “Choose Your Own Adventure” books?
I loved them so much when I was younger. I think there was something to the fact that they seemed very efficient to me…like 10 books in one. I appreciated that on long car trips. (#noipadinthe’80s).
But I specifically remember connecting with the fact that there were no consequences for my choices. If I didn’t like the way something turned out, I could just make a different choice. No one got hurt. No financial ramifications.
It was a free pass for someone like me who was otherwise inclined to weigh the pros and cons of every single choice. Even at age 10.
I had the freedom to choose without consequences of the choice.
I don’t know that I’ve ever felt that kind of freedom in any facet of my life since!
These days, as a solopreneur, though, I’ve been edging closer and closer to living this reality in my professional world.
Like navigating through the books, solopreneurs have the opportunity – the responsibility even - to make choices based on instinct and roll with it.
What makes that possible is embracing your clearly identified purpose; the “why” behind what you are doing.
"I do what pays the bills," is a version of clarity initially, but that can leave us feeling desperate over time.
You must name and access the purpose that fires you up!
By defining your professional purpose and values, you've got a roadmap for making decisions. So refer back to the map when a choice leaves you unfulfilled or dissatisfied.
