875: Navigating Passion, Purpose, and Strategic Shifts

Published: May 20, 2024, 7 a.m.

I am often asked, "Sara, how do I discover my passion?" It's a question typically accompanied by a sense of frustration over not having found it yet.\nWe're often led to believe that unless we're wholly devoted to something we're passionate about, we're squandering our time and talents. However, I propose that it's sometimes acceptable to engage in pursuits that don't ignite our passion entirely, especially if they offer security and stability\u2014like a steady paycheck and benefits.\nOf course, pursuing meaningful work that resonates with our passions and provides a sense of purpose is undeniably appealing. Additionally, the world eagerly awaits the gifts you have to offer, so withholding them would be a disservice.\nSo, how do you discern when to pursue your passions? How do you identify the endeavor you want to pursue passionately? And when is the right moment to pivot or make a strategic shift?\nFor 20+ years, I've dedicated considerable effort to building businesses centered around work that deeply resonates with me\u2014work that fills me with purpose. However, there have also been times, even seasons, when I've found myself in less-than-thrilling situations as I strategically plotted my next move. In this episode, I'll recount a few examples to illustrate what this process looks like in reality.\nWhether you're contemplating a pivot or shift right now or crafting a five-year plan toward your purpose, I've got you covered. This episode will give you great insight.\n\nLink mentioned:\nInterested in Business Coaching with Sara?\xa0Email us at info@shamelessmom.com with the subject line: Business Coaching and we will send you details on Sara\u2019s 6 month One-on-One Business & Coaching Package!\xa0\n\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
