How To Take Action
I would suggest getting clear on what you love, whether it's fitness or another area where you naturally help people. This could be your key to unlocking a profitable opportunity. Start by offering some advice or tips for free, just like I did at the pizza shop. It helps build trust and shows people the value you can offer.
A good way of doing this is to engage in casual conversations in places you wouldn't expect, like coffee shops or during community events. Share practical advice that’s easy to use, like increasing protein intake in a fitness context or maybe a quick tip related to your area of expertise.
Consider the power of these interactions and realize they could be your light bulb moment too. When someone is genuinely interested, and even offers to pay for your advice, recognize this as a sign to take your passion further. You might find that what you love doing can be more than just a hobby.
Finally, turn this value into a formal offering. Start small, perhaps with consulting sessions or local workshops. Keep it simple and low-cost initially, to see how people respond. These baby steps can lead to seeing how much your knowledge is truly worth while keeping your passion front and center.
