Audio Notes: 23 Tips to Uncover What to do With Your Life (When You have no Clue)

I listened to this episode and also went through the notes over and over again today. It is one of those times when I feel that what they were discussing about totally resonates with me. The hosts filled in the missing pieces of my jigsaw puzzle. Focus on solving problems for someone and learn skills along the way keep resounding in my head. And I created my own notes:

What to do:

1. Solve problem for someone. Find a problem you think you could solve for someone - Focus on a very specific crew with a very specific problem and make a very specific thing for them. 
   1. Why: Because learning is much more interesting when you apply it to a real problem.
   2. Tip #1: Reading, traveling, talking to people in other careers and even doing different kinds of work.
   3. Tip #2: Do something that’s hot and new where few people are experts. Eg, Bitcoin, intermittent fasting. 
2. Build a small, focused thing. Clear, targeted, focused, it’s built to do one thing well. Give it a timeline.
3. Do it with someone.
4. Keep the following mentality:
   1. What’s obvious to you is amazing to others.    
   2. Give it time. give yourself time and space to explore and develop.
   3. You don’t know what that thing you think you want is actually like. 
   4. Entrepreneurship is a long journey of many short cycles.
   5. Think of expertise not as an absolute thing, but as a continuum.
   6. Live your life. The point isn’t to find the thing you’re an expert at, it’s to enjoy yourself and your world. You will always be so much more than your niche.
   7. EVERYTHING is a gamble and there are NO right answers. Get Comfortable with the discomfort of no guarantees.
