List Your Interests

This can be one of the hardest parts of the whole process, but also the most fun and rewarding, because it gives you a foundation for ideas that even if you don’t use now, you might very well do in the future. Remember to be very open and do not hold back.

Get out a piece of paper or even open up a word document or notepad on your computer and start writing down your interests. Don’t try and think about how you could possible make money from them, just list them.

Write down  –
· Things you are good at, such as cooking, art, or good with numbers.
· Things you are interested in, such as astronomy, reading murder mysteries, wildlife.
· Hobbies, such as collecting stamps, making dolls, fishing.
· Things you are passionate about, such as a charity, a belief, your children, or teaching.
· Things you could be an expert at, whether you do it at home, at work or during your leisure time.
· Something you may have suffered from such as a trauma at one stage in your life and pulled through to become a stronger person, and now an authority on the subject, like surviving cancer or some other life threatening illness.
· What is it that people will say first in a conversation about you? This could be something that makes people respect you such as, ‘You know I’ve never known xxxxx to take a sick day, how does she do it?’
· What is it that people are going to remember about you after you pass away? ‘Xxxxxx was always into horses. He spent most of his life around horses.’
· Subjects that made you stand out at school, or that you have fonder memories of.
· Things you did as a child that you enjoyed but no longer do, or even dreams and aspirations you had as a child, but have since let go.

This list needs to be long. Don’t just write down 3 or 4 things and hope this will see you through. The longer the list, the more opportunities there will be, but also the greater the chance of finding something you can build a business around.

 Above are some suggestions to get your mind thinking, but really make an effort to brainstorm. Ask your family and friends, work colleagues, even your boss, things like ‘What would you say were my strengths?’

 I even went to the extent of writing down my weaknesses, and I actually asked my wife, my parents and my former employer to help me by asking them what they thought were my strengths and weaknesses. It’s an eye opener for starters, but knowing your weaknesses can help you understand more about yourself (among other benefits), and may just help you more in listing your interests.

 If you can get this list above 12 to 13 your getting into satisfactory mode. It will give you something to start with, but by all means, keep adding as time goes on. Even in a year’s time, you should be looking to build on this list, because it is one of your life long assets. If you’re like me, you’ll want to build more than one business, because once you learn a system (the one I am teaching you now) then the number of businesses you build is entirely up to you!
