Find Human Needs. Make a Living at Your Passion – Part of Chapter VI of the upcoming book “Find Your Passion”
It’s time for you to turn your passion into your dream career! This part is all about how you can start capitalizing on your passion, regardless of what it is. More precisely, we’ll go through the “F.R.U.I.T.S System”, as it’s time for you to reap the benefits of your passion discovery – whether you want to land your dream job or start your own passion-based business. Remember: you’re still on your passion journey, and the capitalization part is the last step. At the end of the day, who wouldn’t love to get paid and make a living out of their passion?
The “F.R.U.I.T.S System” stands for six steps for a successful career transition:
Find human needs
Realization
Unknown testing
Inconceivable value
Traffic
Steadfastness
Find Human Needs
The first step to monetize and make a living out of your passion is to find human needs. That means you need to identify and cover at least one human need of at least one person. If you haven’t memorized the pyramid yet, get back to the very beginning of the book and learn it once and for all!
But what’s the link between human needs and money? How do they relate? Well, I would say they are so interwoven, that the existence of money itself depends on human needs. For you to better understand this, we need first to ask the question “Why do we get paid?”. “Because we work! Daah!” you might think. “Because of our valuable time.”, you might continue. At the end of the day, time is our most valuable currency, isn’t it? Well, yes and no.
Yes, time is more important than money. You can invest money to save time, but you cannot buy your time back. No, because, in spite of the unquestionable value of time in our life, it’s not the most important factor when it comes to our compensation and financial rewards. Why? Because if that was the case, every hard worker would be a billionaire.
Take for example construction workers. They belong to the categories of people across the globe who work the hardest and longest. They work from the dawn till the sunset, but they get paid much less in comparison to the average salary of a country, any country. Besides that, if time itself was the reason you get paid, then you wouldn’t have to work at all in the first place!! You could just sit exactly where you are right now and have money coming into your bank account. Magically, without any source of income!
Why this doesn’t happen? Take a guess! “Education and skills?”, you might have guessed. Yes, you’re very close! Are all the skills valuable for every role? Is public speaking valuable for someone who wants to code a new type of software? Or coding skills to successfully run a multi-million dollar company? A surgeon’s skills to legally protect a defendant, or a lawyer’s skills to conduct a successful surgery? Nope. So, what’s the answer? What’s the keyword? You’ve got one more chance. That’s right! Value!
The value you bring to others is directly proportional to the money you make! Although every human life has the same importance and value, this does not apply in the market. The net worth of the wealthiest individual in the world, Jeff Bezos, is not the same as my net worth. The net worth of a construction worker is not the same as a professional public speaker’s; unless a construction worker has multiple sources of passive income that can give them a higher net worth. Anyway, the keyword here is value.
Constructing a building is not perceived as equally valuable with brain surgery skills. A scientist who discovers the panacea for cancer does not bring the same value as a waiter. A lawyer who defends one’s civil rights brings more value than a delivery man.
These are examples of value quality. Another criterion is the quantity. Does a top sales professional bring the same value as a top sales professional who trains others on how to improve their sales and communication skills? What about a self-employed who works one-to-one versus a self-employed who works one-to-ten? One-to-hundred? One-to-thousand? Does the same professional speaker, same person, bring the same value when they deliver a speech to a thousand instead of a hundred people? Of course, not! In other words, the more people receive value from you, the more you get paid!
“Ok, Jim. Got it! Value is about serving others by leveraging the skills you have that are relevant to the needs of the person you serve. The fewer the people who bring a skill, the more valuable that skill is in the market. Plus, the more people you add value to, the greater the value you bring in the market, and the more you get paid! But what about my survival?”, you might ask.
“We get paid because, one way or another, we need to bring money on the table to cover at least our basic needs, including food, accommodation, clothing, and medical care.”, you might think. Again, if that were the case, you wouldn’t have to work at all! You could just get by thanks to welfare. And, depending on the rights you have in the country you live in, you might be able to do that!
Nevertheless, our focus here is on creating a career with more success and fulfillment. It’s not about finding the easiest way to survive and get by, but the best way to thrive. So, you don’t get paid because of your time, skills, or survival, but your value to other people.
Now, the next question is “Who defines value?”. Yes! The person that you’re going to serve through your skillset, knowledge, expertise, products, and services. It’s people who define value. “The market” is not a higher, special, and separate entity that determines what is money and how it should be distributed. It’s people! We are the market!!
So, the final question here is “How people define value?”, or “When do people find something valuable enough to pay for it?”. People are happy to pay you when you solve a problem for them or help them get what they desire. Where all our problems and desires come from? Yeeees! Our needs! As long as we’re aware of them, we’re happy to pay to meet them! For example, most people pay to meet the need for security. That’s where the whole industry of insurance and real estate are based on. A place to stay and having a stable income to afford things we love are well recognized by the vast majority of people as needs.
On the other hand, not everyone is aware of their highest needs, such as self-actualization and transcendence. This is where passion, personal growth, lifelong learning, and social contribution come in. In fact, most people are not aware of them and their importance. They don’t teach us their importance at school, although they are directly related to our highest levels of happiness, fulfillment, and human potential. Should schools be designed in a way to help us find our passion and reach our true potential, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, financially? Absolutely. This is another reason why I wrote this book.
Unfortunately, most people pass by life without even taking a glimpse of what they can achieve and who they can become! “This personal growth stuff is not for me. I don’t need it.”, they say. The truth is that your life before and after developing the “Growth Mindset”, as well as before and after finding your passion, will never ever be the same again!
On the other hand, if people are aware of their highest needs, they pay more to fulfill them! Do they necessarily know that they are the highest ones? No! They simply feel it! Yes, we feel what is really valuable to us. At the end of the day, things that assure our survival are valuable enough just for this, our survival; whereas activities that help us grow our spirit and reach our true potential are much more valuable.
There’s more here. The more needs you cover for a person, the higher your rewards. If you leverage your passion to cover many human needs for many people, you’ll make a fortune out of it! Therefore, whether you want to turn your passion into your dream job or your passion-based business, start with others first. Find out how you can best cover their needs. Be creative here. You’ve got the most valuable resource of all to do that. Your resourcefulness. The possibilities are unlimited. But they’ll be nothing but possibilities; unless you take action! This brings us to the next step: Realization
