(Pt. 2 of 3) Laying the Foundation for Your Personal Brand: Find Your Sweet Spot & Enjoy the Work You’re Best At
This episode of the Perspective Podcast is about finding your sweet spot. It’s the 2nd part of a 3 part series of Laying the Foundation to Your Personal Brand.
The sweet spot can be defined several ways:
- The intersection of your greatest strength and passion
- The intersection of your greatest knowledge / skill with a strong passion point
- Being equally good at what you love to do
- Your vocation, life’s work or calling
Locating your sweet spot helps you place a ladder against the right wall. Instead of climbing up a wall leading down the wrong path, focus on an area of greatest strength and passion.
When finding your sweet spot, create two overlapping circles and create a Venn Diagram. Label the left side Strengths and the right side Passions.
Finding your greatest strength:
- Write down what you’re best at
- Consult a trusted resource
- Take a StrengthsFinder 2.0 Test
Finding your greatest passion
- Write down what you enjoy doing the most
- Don’t overthink it
By combining your greatest strength and passion, you’ll not only be about to own a specific content niche, but you’ll get to enjoy what you’re best at too.
It’s not something that happens overnight but you have the opportunity to create this circumstance if it doesn’t exist in the world.
