Мысли Миллиардера: Страдаешь от Работы? НЕ НУЖНО Искать любимое дело! Игорь Рыбаков

Why do you suffer from your job? How do you find your favorite job?
Many people say that if you find your favorite job, you will never have to work, even for a day.
Do you think it’s even possible?
Whatever work you get down to. When you start to succeed, it’s the process itself that you like. What you’re good at.
Everybody’s been in a situation where they’ve taken up something, they succeed in doing it…
It’s just unbelievably cool! You want to keep going, you want to build up your capacities, you want to… And then there’s this. And if you manage to do this as well…
Well, if you can’t manage 15 percent, but succeed at 85 percent of the task, then it’s fine!
You want to keep on tackling these 15 percent that doesn’t work out for you: More than that, such situation even stirs up your blood, adrenaline, and you feel like, “now I’ll try again.”
And now you like it, and now, and now you can already say that you kind of like it, but the beginning was completely different.
It’s more important to be good at it than to love it. You love what you’re good at.
Then the reasonable question is: how do you find what you’re good at?
Damn it! Well, try this one, this one. Try your hand at this thing, and that one, and another one, and other thing.
Try working with these people, with those ones, with another ones, and stay with those ones where you’re good at it. This is an experiment.
Igor, what if this experiment will last a lifetime? And in the end, you won’t find anything.
The fact is that some people, who are conducting such experiments, get carried away by the role of the experimenter.
In Russia, this was greatly encouraged in the Soviet Union.
Such experimenters in life, they were brought up like us, that is, they don’t care about anything meaningful happening to them at all.
They train to be always experimenters. Even if they start to be good at doing something, they finish training in this area.
They say, “That’s it! It’s starting to work out for me. That’s it! Let’s keep it like this and we can go to look for the next area”.
If you can feel it, and things are starting to work out for you here — stay here and expand it and enjoy it to the fullest extent possible. Enjoy it. If it’s not like that, find the next area.
For example, I have been doing my business for a year now and I’m not getting the results I planned.
What should I do? Should I quit and run and do something else, or should I keep on with it to the very end?
Now you need to continue with the area of point experiments. Continue the experiments with the area, basically, in the region where you are. That’s it!
Take the ones that resonate, work out for you and that’s it! And get rid of the early expectations that it suddenly should be worth
200 million dollars for some reason, and all the nonsense that some people may have told themselves and which they believe to be true.
Just get rid of such thoughts. Check it against the following: if it’s a multiple or some significant “x” related to these pictures you were looking at yesterday.
Because… considering what you said about all your successes being zero.
You just… it turns out you took such a system that at one point you end up devaluing yourself.
My friend is 35 years old, he has been in the legal services business for a very long time, and at 35 he suddenly realizes that this is not his thing;
he does not like the legal services business at all; there are no big successes here. And he wants to be a marketer. What do you think? And isn’t it a mistake?
Because people at his age have already achieved great success, and he’s just starting from scratch…
I took the statistical data from around the world. 46 years is the average age of startup founders in the world.
Startup founders are…
Well, not startup founders, but those who founded a new company.
Among the people who have created cool, superb works in theater, cinema, there are mostly mature men and women.
Many of these people have never been, have never been in this field before.
The guy I met right now at an entrepreneurial forum.
He has founded a law firm that has already 3 billion in revenue. That kind of growth
He’s not even a lawyer. He says, “I have seen the sufferings of people who use lawyers’ services.
I tried to use the services of lawyers myself, so I’ve created a company that hires a super-, mega-professional who gets a million rubles a month’s salary.”
And he shares one pro lawyer, well, roughly, for 50 requests. It’s going to be very crowded there now. There’s going to be a complete reorganization.
Well done, well done! It’s good that your friend felt that he had to try something else.
He’s going there, he’s trying it. Look, maybe it won’t be marketing as a result there, but something else.
But the main thing: he feels, goes, tries a huge number of examples. Moreover, regarding those who decide to stay:
he does not like it, but he stays at the current workplace: “I’ll eat straw, grass; I’ll have these feelings, but I’ll stay to keep on doing it and so on…”
Look, this is the key to misery, to illness, to alcoholism, to drug addiction, antidepressants.
I mean, all human vices arise precisely in the zone where your job no longer nourishes you, when it does not give your life any meaning! That’s it! That’s it.
There is a complete mess and disorder; in chemical substitutes, in alcohol, in some perversions you seek something that will nourish you, but it’s all sublimation!
There are, for example, some career guidance tests, or something else. How do you even feel about these career guidance tests.
Is it a working tool?
The only place where career guidance tests are applicable is for adults, maybe, that is, for those who have reached the point where they…
Well, they want to change their field of activity, but they’ve spent so much time in their previous activity that they have no ideas.
To get to know: what other directions are there to choose another profession to retrain in. For adults.
For children: by no means!
Only the encouragement of experiments: I will try a lot of things, try a lot of things. For children it is super, mega-organic!
Children do not have this luggage, this kind of pattern, so do not develop such pattern in them …
That is, they don’t have …
Do not develop any specific patterns in them: like, for instance, using a test to find out “oh, this child will be good at humanities!”.
For children, for young people – it’s exclusively through experiments: the more we try and so on. And career guidance — only for adults.
It often happens that the work/business brings dividends, a large income, but it does not bring pleasure anymore for a very long time, what can you recommend to such people?
Well, I say, when a work/business turns from something that nourished you and gave your life meaning… it turns into something that tortures you and offers you no meaning.
It is at this moment, when a person feels hugely devastated we have to find something to compensate for this devastation.-
Any compensation is possible, but we are very resilient people: we can endure a lot of things.
But we have to pay too much for it. We have to pay for it with our future, our health, our physical health, our psychological health,
our emotional health, our reputation in society, our relationships at work, our relationships in the family, our inner state of mind.
Everybody will have to pay. And there’s less money.
We classify upbringing: either stay and suffer, or make an escape, and there it will happen.
In fact, the same suffering happens there. You can’t run away from yourself. You carry yourself with you.
So wherever you are, you carry with you the aura of living that you yourself form.
That means that the sincere feeling that you feel bad, that something’s wrong is just a signal.
Damn it! It’s just a signal that something needs to be changed.
Everyone deserves a good attitude to oneself, a good attitude to one’s business/work, a nourishing attitude — meaningful — a good attitude in society, a reputation…
Everyone deserves it. And the one who doesn’t get it suffers a great misery no matter how much money this person has.
