Purpose is calling. But it's calling too quietly to hear it clearly.
Here's the deal:
- I'm a 27 years old guy who has finished university (business administration) a year ago.
- I worked as a business consultant for a couple of months afterwards, but I felt like living someone elses life, it was anything but fulfilling for me.
- Luckily, I got the chance to quit the job and make a living online. Actually, it was a combination of hard work in the past and a business partner who trusts me a lot (I'm very greatful for the trust he has given me).
- What I do now makes sense. We contribute something to the world with what we do (at least that is what some of our readers tell us).
- I love the internet, I love working from home and I love writing (in German ☺).
- But even more, I would love to make a difference to peoples lives not only by giving them information (as I do now), but by reaching their hearts and helping them create the life they deserve. The last part is what I miss right now - heavily.
So, what I'm thinking of a lot is:
- Of course I'm going to put the best I can into the website I'm making a living of right now, not only to help myself but also to help my business partner by doing so.
- Yet - there is something missing. I'm not quite „in the zone", I'm not contributing to the world from my heart and from the things I consider to be my best skills.
- How can I get one step closer to my purpose?
My purpose I guess will have something to do with:
- Using my ability to reach people's hearts with my writing (and maybe on other levels, too) - when it comes to writing (in German, again ...), what I have heard is that I have a unique style that might separate me from other writers.
- Helping other people get closer to the life they want.
- Beyond, it has something to do with internet / online business / self development / freedom / psychology / coaching.
- Doing research and asking questions.
Here is what came to my mind until now and the aspects that let me doubt about pursuing those things:
- Creating a website where I write about making money online and offering services in this area -> I'm not an expert, so this is not quite authentic. Further, there are already a lot of German blogs about internet marketing, SEO and so on.
- Writing about setting and achieving goals -> There's a clear target audience missing as well as a way of monitizing.
- Creating a „German warrior forum" -> The internet marketing forums in Germany tend to have an unfriendly, unsupportive tone, so maybe it's just the wrong audience to build up a supportive forum. Beyond, getting active participants for a forum is very hard.
What did you do when you got the nagging feeling that you should do something - yet, it did not show clearly, what it is that you should do?
What have you done to get more clearity on how to realize your purpose?
What would you do if you were me?
Any ideas and opinions are very welcome! Thank you very much!
