What Do You Enjoy Doing?
What do you enjoy doing?..... but may not be so good great at?
Remember that your strong points aren ’t necessarily the only way to find your passion. You can also identify one or two things you love to do but aren ’t as efficient as you wish you were and work from there. For instance, you may be interested in launching startups but have failed several times. How many times have you failed only to try all over again? When you have listed your interests and skills, focus on the next step.

Know your strong points
Know your strong points or skills and compare them to what you love doing. Come up with a list of what you are great at and on a scale of 1 to 10 mark how fulfilling each skill is to you. Do you enjoy doing what you are great at or are you doing it for the sake of it? If your top 3 skills are in line with your interests, you are on the right path.
Pay attention to the problems you like to solve
This will help you to choose a passion that not only benefits you but your potential customers or audience as well. So, what problems do you like to solve? Maybe you are good with numbers and your colleagues come to you with bookkeeping or math-related challenges. Perhaps you are a brilliant designer and are designing flyers for family events such as birthdays or anniversaries. What you like to solve or the service you are willing to provide for free can lead to your passion.
Concentrate on the books you like to read
Next, what sort of books do you like to read? What things do you like researching, especially in your free time? When you answer that, compare your responses to your previous list of interests and strong points. Does your choice of literature go with your interests and skills? If so, you have found your passion.
You may realize that you desire to launch a new business, you are great at teaching others, networking, creating eBooks/various content, being a social media influencer, designing arts/digital arts and have been providing your services for free or dirt cheap to where you ' re hardly making any money. You can start monetizing your skills online. You may also discover that you enjoy doing research, are a good writer, and have been journaling for years. In this case, you can start a blog or offer your services on freelancing sites. The key thing to remember is that whatever your passion is, you can turn it into cash, use it to gain more control over your life, and find the freedom you desire. Here ’ s how!
Zone In On Your Passion (narrow it down)
Create Your First Product or Service
Turn your newly found passion into a product or service and market it to your target audience. Keep in mind that the key to succeeding in your new venture is to add value to your customers’ lives, retain them, and attract new ones. Achieve this by offering a product or service that is better than what the competition offers or solve a problem that your competitor isn’t.
