Recently, I had had some great conversations with people about who are they are where they are going in life. In a couple of those conversations, I decided to ask a new question, and it is simply this:
“What is your plan for world domination?”
Really, this is a different way of asking someone what they believe they are meant to do in life, and how they planning on bringing about a positive result for themselves and for others. I find it interesting to hear the various responses I get, and I am excited to hear someone have a really specific answer to the question.
The people who are experiencing the most success are those who have an immediate answer to this question. However, if you don’t have an answer, you can think about a few things. For example, what are you good at? What do people typically compliment you on? Is there anything that you enjoy so much that you would do it for free? I am not suggesting that you actually do it for free because you deserve to be paid for the good work you do. But if the level of enjoyment is such that you would do it for free, then that might be a great indication of what you need to be doing.
Many of us are stuck in jobs that we don’t enjoy, or we feel forced to do things because we feel like we have no other options. There are always options, it’s a matter of getting creative. We can develop the thing we want to do on the side while still working full-time. You may that eventually that part-time thing will take so much time that you almost HAVE to make the jump. That is an exciting time.
What I want you to remember most out of all of this is simply this: You have a unique skill set that no one else has. Find a way to use it, tap into whatever that is, then develop your plan.
So my challenge to you this week is this: Ask yourself what your plan for world domination is going to be. It can be as big as being a world-class expert in a given area, or a simple as living in such a way that people remember you well.
The choice is yours….and always remember….it IS a choice.
