S3E03 - Should I start my own thing or look for a job?
In today's episode, you'll hear from someone who is contemplating, whether he should start his own thing or seek out a job, he's trying to discern whether entrepreneurship is something he will actually enjoy, or if it's just something he thinks he should do, given the culture he's surrounded by. And then there are also all those uncertainties that each path holds.
Episode Notes
Today's episode touches on a number of different feelings: the excitement of a new path and the doubts around whether it will pan out the questioning around how much our desires are a result of the culture we've been surrounded by, or if deep down inside, we actually want something else. When we feel like we are swimming in an ocean of thoughts and feelings, it can be extremely useful to get those thoughts down on paper in a structured way.
Consider doing a brain dump and categorizing things into the three components, objectives, options, and information
If you are having a hard time articulating what you want, imagine how you want to feel in the future
A decision matrix can be a useful tool to organize what comes to mind with those three components
Perhaps try to map out different options and scenarios onto a decision tree so that you can make sure you are exploring all branches, fairly
Structure can help you make better sense of all the inputs you have so that you can see things more clearly.
