353: Why Following Your Passion is Terrible Advice for New Entrepreneurs with Josh Cantwell
If you’ve watched successful entrepreneurs, founders, or investors on YouTube, TED Talks, or social media, you’ve likely heard one piece of advice a million times: follow your passion. People who’ve “made it” love to tell those who haven’t that all they need to do is follow their passion, and the pieces will fall into place.
Not only do I think it’s terrible advice, I think it’s a total crock if I’m being honest.
So today, I wanted to share a very candid solocast about why my career hasn’t just been about “following my passion.” I’ll also share what I think is a much more valuable piece of advice–and one that can help you find true happiness and joy in whatever you do as you achieve greater success.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Why it’s so much more important to find out what you’re good at than to follow your passion.
- Why using our superpowers makes us happier and helps us find joy in our work.
- The difference between joy and happiness.
- The importance of being able to say “I’m not good at that”–and the value of having great people around you to help fill in those gaps.
