4 questions to shine light on your vocation

 
 

Here are a few sparks of The Burning Questions that I ask my Fire Starter clients:

1. What do people thank you for most often? What do they come to you for, or say about you most frequently {"positive" or "negative"}?

Gratitude leads you back to your strengths. The greatest leverage you have for a return on investment is by investing in your natural talents and using them generously.

2. When do you feel powerful, on fire, free, incredibly useful? What do you get excited by?

True and sustainable success is fueled by pure inspiration. Always.

3. When someone at a party asks you what you do, what do you say? {And how do you feel when you say it?}

With truth comes grace and healthy pride ... and every entrepreneur needs a slam dunk cocktail line.

4. What do you think your form of genius is, what are you amazing at {work or life related?}

Everybody is amazing at something -- whether it's being a loyal friend, crunching numbers, motivating people or throwing great parties. {And your genius is a cousin to your joy.}

    Even though I'm retired from my profession now and don't have a need for a website, don't blog (although I've considered it), haven't written a book, I visit your site every day. I find lots of inspiration here for living my fullest life. Thanks for giving me lots to think about, and motivating me to continue to search for and develop my true self.

    So if my business is just a baby hatching thingy, would a firestarter group (L.A.) be right for me? I'm only preggers now and not fully born......

  • these are wonderful questions. Looking forward to a good journaling period on them. Thank you.
  • Hmmmm... I've recently been promoted, and I have to do a lot more running around/dealing with people/putting out small fires... (I'm also at the "talking to people" stage of promoting my book). Yesterday, I worked on a project that I'd volunteered for, which was more along the lines of what I used to do a few years ago - which involved sitting at my desk, writing, putting illustrations together... and for the first time in a while, I felt... relaxed. in the groove. my breathing even seemed to change. Even though it was a simple PowerPoint presentation, I was making something beautiful. I think I need to pay attention - this is a big red-letter message from the universe.

    What's my genius? Making things beautiful. Making beautiful things.
  • Very good questions! I think Ima hafta print these out, and give them some serious thought today...Thank you!!
  • so, what's your form of genius?
  • Writing. Nothing in this world I do better than writing, and it's something that I dearly love. Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, blogging...I just love to write. Having ideas, and then having the ability to share those ideas with others through the magic of the written language...that's my creative genius.
