Rob Dial Jr. All right, let's go ahead and dive into today's show. Today I'm going to talk about probably the question that everybody is searching for throughout their lives and that is how to find your passion. And how to find your passion, this is actually a, I believe this is an ancient Japanese thing, term, which is ikigai. I-K-I-G-A-I. And I could be butchering the word but basically ikigai says there's four things that you need to figure out in order to find your passion because a lot of people out there and like man I just I don't know what I'm passionate about I feel so lost I don't have anything that I'm passionate about in that I want to

make money off of my passion and I hate my job and all of these different things I hear it all of the time and so I want to break down Ikigai, if I'm saying that correctly once again, and tell you what they say. And it's very, very simple. And if you have a pen and paper with you and you're listening to this, this would be a good time to jot down some notes. If you're on a run, if you're working out, if you're in your car, obviously you're not going to be jotting down some notes.

But let what I say kind of jog your thoughts, jog your brain so you can kind of get a little bit of an idea of what your passion might be. So the first thing, the first part of figuring out your passion is the word love. So what do you love to do? Anything. And here's the thing. Most people are like, but you know, I love to do this, but I can't get paid for it. That that's completely false. Like for like, you know, some people are like, I love to play basketball, but I can't get paid for it because I'm not in

the NBA. Well, yeah, you can. I know a guy who runs a Facebook page called I love basketball and he makes millions of dollars off of this. And I believe he started because he was shorter and was able to dunk and started putting lessons online of how to strengthen your legs to be able to dunk when you're shorter, right? He makes millions of dollars per year teaching people these types of things and running these Facebooks and these Instagrams. Guys, he makes millions of dollars per year. He makes more than some NBA players and he doesn't even play in the NBA. So clearly he can make money off of his passion. He loves basketball, I'm sure.

So the question I have for you is what do you love? You can make money off of anything nowadays. The internet is amazing because you can make money doing anything. If you are interested in something, guess what? There is somebody in the world that is also interested in that thing. You can create the community around that. So what do you love to do is the first question to ask yourself. The second question to ask yourself is what are you good at? At this point, what are you good at? And if you're not very good at much, what could you become good at? What could you get better at? Right?

So what are you good at? Think about it. What is something that you're, are you more athletic than most people? Are you good at playing cards? Are you good at playing basketball? What is it that you're good at? So number one, what do you love? Number two, what are you good at?

Number three, what does the world need? Right? What does the world need? And you might say, oh, the world needs peace. The world needs us. Of course the world need? Right? What does the world need? And you might say, oh, the world needs peace. The world needs this. Of course the world needs peace. But, you know, there was a guy out there that said the world needs to be able to learn how to dunk. And this guy decided to be able to start this and make millions of dollars off of it.

Like the guy I was telling you about earlier, the I love basketball guy. Right? It doesn't have to be solving all of the world's problems. You don't have to be Gandhi or anything like that. What does the world need? What is a niche, a market that you could fill, right? What is a niche or market that you could fill? But what does the world need? If it could be something that could be a mission of you or something that drives you, well then of course that would be a mission of yours, something that drives you. Well, then, of course, that would be amazing. But you might not be able to think of that. So don't think of something that has to change the world.

But what does the world need? What do people need? Okay, that's question number three. And question number four is what could you get paid for? Right? The best part about the internet, like I said, is that you can make money. I'm telling you guys, once I looked into the rabbit hole of how to make money online, it is a deep, deep, deep, deep, deep hole.

There's millions, and I mean millions of ways to make millions of dollars online. And I kid you not, there's something that you could find to make money online. If you hate your job, I guarantee you, you can make more money online. I guarantee you that you could do it. that you could find to make money online. If you hate your job, I guarantee you, you could make more money online. I guarantee you that you could do it and you could probably enjoy it a lot more. And I guarantee you, you could do it while traveling. And I can guarantee all of this because I was able to do it. I was able to figure out a way to make money online and travel for six months internationally, right?

While tripling my business while I was doing it. It's possible you can do it as well. So what could you get paid for? If you love Dungeons and Dragons, there are millions of other people out there that love Dungeons and Dragons. I'm sure you could figure out a way to make money off of it. Okay? So that's it. It's really that simple. Those are the four questions you ask yourself. What do I love? What am I good at? What does the world need? And what could I get paid for? And the best thing to do is as you're asking yourself these four questions is to make a massive list. What do

I love to do? Make the list as long as you possibly can. Brainstorm, thought jog. What do you love to do? What are you good at? You know, brainstorm, thought jog, put as many things you possibly can. What does the world need? What can I get paid for? And what you do is you try to look to see if these four circles, if you think of like, I think it's called a Venn diagram. I don't know. It's been a long time. It's been a long time since I've been in school and I didn't pay any attention when I was there anyways. A Venn diagram, I believe is what it's called when you have the circles and they overlap with each other, right? So if you look at love and good at, in world needs and paid for, is there a place where the four of these overlap? Because this is where you could make a lot of money,

right? If you figure out what you love, you figure out what you're good at, you figure out the world needs, you figure out what you could get paid for, you could make a lot of money in the center of the four of those circles. So ask yourself those questions. If you don't know the answers to those questions, journal it every single morning. Keep asking yourself those. If you don't know what you could do, then what I would recommend is that you go out and do things you've never done before. If you're like, I don't know what I love to do. I don't know what I'm good at. Go and do things you've never done before. Go places you've never been before. Do all of these things. Do things you've never done before to see if you can find something that you love to do, that you're good at, that the world needs, and that you get paid for.
