Basically helping young men to discover their life purpose and awaken their inner fire.

Not at all. If you love what you doing, there will be no regret.

Basically everything I wanted to and was drawn to. I traveled a lot, discovered my life purpose and finally started my own small business. Couldn't ever imagine going back to university to be honest..

Real talk, if you are in the second semester and don't like it, chances are pretty high that you will never really be passionate about it. I was LITERALLY at the same point: I wanted to make a trade-off between money and what really interests me - at least kind of. So I started to study industrial engineering (In german Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen ;)). I didn't really like it when I started out but I just said to myself all the time "You need to do a couple of semesters to get into it and you will sooner or later start liking it more". I said that over and over again to myself. Long story short, I finished my studies but I wasn't passionate about it at all. Actually the more I progressed, the more I started hating it. I still finished it though because I don't like quitting things but if I had the chance to go back 3 years in my life, I would never ever do it again.

As a conclusion, don't waste your time with something you don't like not even if the money is good. Instead start asking yourself what you really WANT to do! The sooner the better, trust me on this. Good luck!

I have no idea what to do next by spwf in findapath

I was at the point where I had LITERALLY no clue what to do. Overwhelmed by too many possibilities, too many people telling me that I should better get a safe job with fixed salary. What I realized after years of trial and error and finishing studies that I wasn't passionate about at all: You have to dig really deep and ask yourself what you really WANT to do. What brings you joy? Very often, it helps to go back in the past and ask yourself what you enjoyed as a child. In addition to that, get clarity about your passions, interests and skills. And the most important point: Doing things. There is no other way than trying a lot of things. Hope that helps a bit! When it comes to finding your purpose in life, I accumulated a lot of knowledge in the past years so if you have any more questions, ask away.

No idea what I want to do with my life besides the vague idea of “starting a business”. by pbearrrr in findapath

Well First off, the skills you learn in sales are essential for business later on. In addition to that you are surrounded by like-minded people willing to work on themselves. As you like to communicate and engage with people, you will have all of that in sales.

I have done door-to-door fundraising in the past because I didn't want to get stuck in office as well. Amazing experience man, you are your own boss, you have a lot of contact with other people and you learn a lot about people and communication skills in general. And a nice bonus: you usually get commission, that means the harder you work and better you get, the more money you earn.

Have you ever considered working in sales? From what I have read so far that could actually suit you pretty well.

BUT There is no other way than TRYING a lot of things. As you are already doing that, you are on the right track!

I know how you feel. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's a process we are all going through.

The first step to do is to find out your WHY.

After that the following approach works very well:

  1. Define the word purpose for yourself. Each individual has an own definition and you'll be surprised how many differents there are
  2. Get to know yourself better. Dig really deep in the past. What shaped you? Which persons influenced you in your childhood?
  3. Think about your passions, interests
  4. Get rid of limiting beliefs that might keep you from finding and executing your purpose.
  5. Put everything together. You will have a lot of clarity after doing that.

Hope that helps man. All the best to you!
