Instead of trying to find your passion, do this instead...

You founded a successful business. You have a team of dedicated employees who have become like family.

Now you're entering a new stage of life where you'd like to do some different things like traveling, spending time with grandchildren, or taking care of your aging parents.

Your End Game

This is known as your "end game" -- and don't think of it morbidly. Think of it like a renewed sense of purpose after years of building your business.

When you seek some guidance on creating your end game, you may hear some people say "find your passion", or "do what you love".

UGH! Are you kidding me?!

I agree with Simon Sinek who proposes another perspective when making grand plans:

  • Passion, like profit, is a result.
  • When we commit our lives to something we believe in; when we work hard for a higher purpose, passion is the result.
  • When we work hard for something we DON'T believe in, stress is the result.

The question is not to find your passion, the questions to be asking are:

  • What do you BELIEVE?
  • What are your IDEALS?
  • What are your VALUES?

What kind of world do you want to live in that aligns with the answer to those questions. And then push yourself in those directions.
