I’m talking about discovering what you want to do on the job that will make you want to be at work.

I discovered my niche almost by accident. I say almost because at some level I believe there are no accidents and everything happens for a reason. My life went through a series of what seemed like cataclysmic changes and I found myself unemployed and attending a government sponsored training program. It was there that I was exposed to what would become a passion for me - facilitating classes for adults. Now, the changing careers didn’t come without sacrifices. When I made the change from my previous career to facilitating, I now earned about one third of what I used to take home but I was three times happier. Work was no longer work. It had become a pleasure. There were even times when my weekends were irritants because they kept me away from what I loved doing.

Identifying what motivates you, what gets your juices flowing is key to knowing what intrinsic needs you have that have to be fulfilled in order for you to experience true job satisfaction. For me it was things like the constant learning of new skills, making a difference in people’s lives and meeting lots of interesting people. For you it could be creating something new and exciting, building something that adds value or beauty to someone’s life or being recognized for making a contribution. Whatever your needs are, and remember they are your needs and not someone else’s, it is important that they get met. I have had people tell me that their main motivator is money and lots of it. I feel sorry for these people because if acquiring money is their main goal, they are never going to be happy. When you chase money you find out there is never enough of it. How many millionaires long to be billionaires? Should money be one of your motivators? I think so. Unless you have figu
