Rather than fantasize, it is better to work hard in the right direction and do what you can control.

Write in front:
I don’t know why recently, the studio always receives such a request for consultation, the main idea is as follows-
“I don’t know what I like, I hope that I can find a favorite job through consulting …”
Behind this type of appeal, there is a logic like this-
-
“The reason why I am not doing well in my current job is because it is not something I like; if I can find something that I like, Then I will be successful. “
Really?
I have some case stories worth pondering. I chose one of them. With the consent of the parties, I removed the relevant private information and presented it through literary processing and processing. Your brand new inspiration.
01
The visitor, Sunny (pseudonym), did nothing.
Sanny, graduated from a key university in China 7 years ago, with an engineering background and a graduate degree.
-
After graduation, Shani came to a state-owned enterprise to do technical work through school recruitment. After a few years, Shani found that she was tired of this job, she I once wanted to resign, but with the later marriage and children, the resignation was set aside for the time being.
After she has a child, Shanny finds that she is interested in parent-child education.
So Shani started to inquire about parent-child education training and learning. Coincidentally, there is a parent-child education institution in the place not far from her home, setting up relevant parent courses, for novices like Shani Moms spread some basic parenting knowledge, communication skills, and more.
Sunny’s enthusiasm for learning is unprecedented, and she has spent a lot in training institutions.Qian enrolled in a lot of courses. Shanni was active in her studies. She often used this knowledge to interact with her children and made great progress.
-
Gradually, Sunny became an old student in this institution, and her relationship with the teachers was also good;
-
Later, when this institution held an open parent-child class, Sunny would be invited as a sharing guest and share parenting experiences and experiences with the parents.
Every time Sanny shares in public classes, she always resonates with the parents of the audience, and she is happy that Sister Yun, the head of this institution, often praises her She said that she was very savvy and gifted in parent-child education and training, which made her more attentive to the course. At the same time, she also expressed to Yun Yun that she wanted to switch to the field of parent-child education.
02
In the first half of last year, Sister Yun told Shani that because of something at home, she could not afford her energy and wanted to transfer this institution to others.
But Sister Yun said that she was a little bit reluctant in her eyes. She felt that this institution was like her own child and the crystallization of her years of hard work, so she hoped to find a credible person who took the knowledge to take over the institution.
Sister Yun said that she thought about it again and again, just a while ago, Sunny and herself showed the idea of switching to parent-child education. Yunjie said that Sunny might be the best candidate to take over this institution; Yunjie told Sunny, if Shan Ni is willing to take over, and she is willing to transfer it to her in penny according to the original transfer fee of 50,000 yuan.
-
At the same time, Sister Yun also told Shanny that it is really easy to run this institution. You can find a part-time college student to send out leaflets on the street to get customers. In addition, there are some regular old students before … basically, if Shanni takes over, it should be steady and not lost.
“What’s more,” Sister Yun continued to add, “If you encounter any difficulties, you can contact me at any time, I must know everything … but oh, if you have any intention, let me know I, otherwise, this institution may have been taken over by other people. After this village, there will be no such shop … “
Sister Yun’s remarks made her feel very excited. She repeatedly looked at her job as a technician in a state-owned enterprise. It was boring!
I just want to engage in the field of parent-child education, and now I have such a good opportunity, perhaps as Sister Yun said: “After this village, there will be no such shop” …..
Sanny is determined.
-
She concealed her family ’s savings for a few years, borrowed a little money from a colleague, quietly quit her job, and discarded This agency.
Sunny originally planned it this way: When she had a good reputation for the operation of this institution, and when the tickets were soft, she showed up with her family …..
However, it turns out that Shanny thought too much about it.
03
Since Yun got the transfer fee, she has never heard of it.
This makes Sunny beat the drum in her heart.
However, the real difficulties have just begun:
-
Shani has followed the method taught by Sister Yun before asking part-time college students to distribute leaflets on the street. It can be said that “the results are very small” [Difficult to get customers]
-
Employees see Shanni have no experience, and feel that following such a boss will not have any good results, and there are many people who leave, including course lecturers and sales staff. [Outstanding staff loss ] ;
-
The trainees are not as fixed as Sister Yun said. On the contrary, many old trainees see that the new teacher is not good enough after taking over, and they are clamoring for refunds [crisis of customer trust] ;
-
Even if the organization can’t recruit new students, they still have to pay employees’ salaries, pay social security to the employees, plus the expensive rent, if you do n’t open each month, you have to pay a fixed expense. [Operating cost pressure] ……
What makes Sannie even more disturbing is that she caught up with the epidemic not long ago, and the institution has not opened for almost two months. After counting it, Sannie lost nearly 100,000 yuan before and after!
After all, the paper could n’t hold the fire, and the family still knew about it, and Shanni could not help being counted in a meal …
Sanny is even more annoyed, she really doesn’t know what to do, so she thinks of asking for help.
In my opinion, Shanni’s story is a good example, that is:
Even if you choose what you like, it does not mean that the future is smooth sailing. On the contrary, if you do not carefully consider and evaluate, you will easily fall into a dilemma like Shanni!
During the consultation, I asked Shani ——
-
If this institution is truly stable and earns nothing, why would Yun Yun not want to ask you for more transfer fees?
-
In addition, Sister Yun talked about something at home. What happened? Have you studied it?
-
Is there something wrong, or is it just an excuse to rush out of the organization?
……
Shanny gradually realized that she might have been given a “routine” by Yun Yun!
Thinking of this, Shanni was even more regretful.
In fact, whether it is entrepreneurship or career planning, there is a very practical tool that can help us analyze the current situation and make realistic choices.
04
This tool is called Swot Analysis.
1. Four elements of Swot analysis method;
What is Swot analysis?
Swot contains four factors:
-
S——Strength strengths, advantages;
-
W——Weakness weakness, disadvantage;
-
O——Opportunity opportunity, opportunity;
-
T——Threat threat, opponent.
2. What are the steps of Swot analysis?
To proceedFor the system’s Swot analysis, advantage evaluation must be performed first, as follows:
-
What are you good at?
-
What can you do that others can’t?
-
How are you different from others?
-
What has been successful recently?
-
……
Second, take a disadvantage (disadvantage) inventory :
-
What can’t you do?
-
What skills / experience do you lack?
-
What is better than me?
-
What failed recently?
-
……
Only after the analysis of internal advantages and disadvantages is completed, then external opportunities and threats can be analyzed to make objective decisions.
We may use this tool to analyze Shanny ’s situation, and it is not difficult to conclude:
1. Advantage analysis:
-
Sanny is good at sharing in public;
-
Sanny’s learning ability is better than others;
-
The difference between Shanny and other women is that her engineering background and analysis of her preferences are not sensitive to the emotional and emotional dimensions;
-
Sanny has had a successful experience in the public class sharing of parent-child training institutions before …
2. Disadvantage analysis:
-
Sanny can’t make it to the market or sell (it’s self-explanatory and doesn’t want to engage);
-
Sunny lacks skills in sales and team management (only 7 years as a technician before);
-
Others have richer experience in the field of operation and management than Shanni;
-
Sanny has recently had a failure experience in running a parent-child agency …
In spite of the analysis of external opportunities and threats, from the perspective of internal analysis alone, Shanny may be able to start from the career of parent-child lecturer, but resigning and investing in savings to take over this training institution is undoubtedly an impulsive decision .
It’s not hard to find out from Sunny’s story-
It is not enough for you to be interested in or like a certain field. To implement it at the level of reality and action, the most important thing is to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses and see if you can handle it. This is the more important part than the so-called “like”.
05
Switching to career planning, we have repeatedly emphasized:
-
For a mature professional, no matter if you are a transition or start a business, just rely on the so-called “like”, the slightest Decisions made regardless of your ability level and status quo are undoubtedly extremely irresponsible to you!
Buffett, the investment leader, believes that the first important principle of investment is the “Capability Circle Principle” , that is:
-
What investors really need is the ability to properly evaluate the chosen company. Please pay special attention to the word “selected” … The size of the circle of competence is not important. It is important to know your own boundaries.
The same applies to the “competence circle principle” in the professional field.
Whether it is entrepreneurship or transformation, even career positioning and development, etc., in my opinion-
-
Do what you can, do what you are good at, and do what you are familiar with, and you will probably have success.
If you ca n’t make an objective analysis of yourself, consider seeking professional advice and help.
