Follow The Blinking Lights...

A consistent theme with nearly all high performers is that they love doing what they do. Meaning that they "follow their bliss" in their work life. Your own internal sense of passion can lead you, like a series of blinking lights, to the people and opportunities that will lead to fulfillment. Consider this quote from Joseph Campbell:

"If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a track that has been there all the while, waiting for you. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls."

Here's what Thoreau said about this:

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

How to apply this idea in your work:

1. Follow your bliss when selecting the clients you'll work with.

2. Follow your bliss when deciding what niche or sub niche to focus on or explore.

3. Follow your bliss when it comes to the parts of the recruiting process you'll perform vs. the parts you'll outsource to others.

4. Follow your bliss when it comes to the new projects, strategic alliances or business relationships to pursue.

5. Follow your bliss when deciding what financial terms you'll accept from clients.

Remember, "If you love what you do, you'll never have to work another day in your life."
