To discover some of your talents, you need to answer the following questions honestly. If possible, write them down on a piece of paper so you can refer to them later:
- What are your main activities outside of work?
- What activities have you always liked, but have you stopped practicing due to lack of time?
- When was the last time you lost track of time doing an activity? What activity was it?
- What are the activities that you do not need help to carry out?
- What do you like to talk about?
- If money didn’t exist, what would you like to do for pleasure?
- What kind of activity do you really want to start developing?
- What are your favorite reading topics?
- What do people ask you to teach them?
- What are your strengths?
After answering them you will have a real inventory about yourself, with which you can discover some of your talents, which will be a good start to find ways to earn money with what you like.
