Is it inauthentic to do the things that you don’t like to do? Just because a career choice is challenging does that automatically mean you’ve chosen the wrong career?

You compensate. I compensate. To some degree we all compensate for a lack of authentic work. Over time we’ve made stuff up to rationalize our unfulfilling work. We’ve pretended, avoided and shirked responsibility in order to make our work fit who we are.

Don’t kill what scares you. Embrace it!
What scares you the most is your raw, untamed authenticity.
What scares the hell right out of you is the crazy brilliance that you know you really are.

I get occasional emails from desperate readers who think they have totally screwed up their lives. They think they can’t afford to hire me as their coach but they reach out hoping for help.
I’ll often ask them to do something simple, like read a blog post and email me back what came up for them after reading it. Or I’ll send them a couple of questions by email. But rather than just answering the damn questions – they’ll write back telling my some pathetic story about why they can’t. Bull!

When we are crystal clear about where we are and where we want to be, we create less stress and more often hit targeted objectives. It’s darn hard to find our true calling when we aren’t willing to be clear and specific about how we want our life’s work to be.

You are your own best authority. You know what works best for you and what doesn’t. Even though it may appear more comforting to receive validation of a business plan or startup idea from another, your best bet is to trust yourself.
The bottom line is, no one cares about you as much as you do. Authoring ones own life is about engaging the courage to follow ones own gut. It’s about being your own man or woman in every way.

I believe there’s a better process to finding work you love to do, so you can then build a profitable business around it. Traditional advice for discovering work you love involves journaling your passions, talents and joyous activities. This works for some and not for others. If you’re willing to try a fresh approach, you may find this new process to be very fruitful.
