Nothing can stop me, impossible is temporary, the future is tomorrow.: Finding your true passion...

I have huge passions for sports, fitness, health and well being. I have huge passions for business and my career. What I want to achieve in my career is clear, I want to be successful and at the top of a fantastic organisation. One thing that isn't clear to me at all, is what type of role I want to fulfill within each of these passions, operations, human resources, purchasing, research and development, sales and marketing or retail.

I always approach every job with as much energy and passion as the day I was old enough to start work. I went to university in 2010, I only lasted a year, I needed to feel job satisfaction, to be out there earning money I realized this when I started to work in the local leisure center, Swiss Cottage Leisure Center. It was a job to pay my way though university, but indeed it was the start of my career.

I have never been clear on exactly which career path to take, although I always gave it my all in every job I was in. I quickly found myself in a career path that I was good at because I put the extra hard work in but one that I didn't choose. One thing led to another and I quickly found myself spiraling to the top of my game, a game that I didn't know I wanted to compete in. My last sales position in Dubai I have spoken about recently has helped me realize that I didn't choose to be in sales, but that I just pushed myself to compete because I was placed into sales early on in my career. That's another reason why I left, to re-evaluate what my true passion is.

I have an immense passion for business, I love working in business and I love reading about business. I have recently started reading "Onward" by Howard Schultz, the story about the Starbucks coffee company. I am only a quarter of the way through it and already it has taught me that passion about the company you either own or work for is vital, nobody will believe in the product that you are involved with if you don't have passion for the company, let alone the product, look at the products you are producing, selling or advertising as an extension of the company that you are involved with. Its a great read so far and I would defiantly recommend it to anybody.

Yesterday I attended my first ever Webinar on How to Land Your Dream Job in Sports with author and sports industry specialist Lewis Howes. He talked about how to grow your connections with sports executives through sites such as LinkedIn and Twitter. He said something that has stayed with me and makes so much sense. Too many people are relying on these massive employment sites in which you upload your CV and directly apply to jobs. Think about it, how many thousands of CV's are uploaded to those sites every single day? I doubt that anybody has ever actually landed a job that way. Lewis taught everybody on that site how to utilize your LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook to your advantage. If your not on LinkedIn.com already, you should definitely head over there straight away, I have made connections with people working in places such as The Adidas Group and Equinox Fitness. Its a perfect tool to use!

Take the points I have made today, and make a difference in your career. Utilize every single tool you have to its full potential, you wont get anywhere if your always thinking about what you could do, instead of actually doing it! Start making those positive steps today and take those small but lasting steps that will inevitably get you to reach your true career passions.

Speak soon dudes!
