What are you good at? (Self-examination thread) - GoFuckYourself.com

Tala · 08-20-2004, 01:46 PM

Those of you who already market themselves and their talents know that this is really an important question.

How many of you are sheep doing what you think will bring you some coin, or are already making some coin doing something you hate? How many of you know what you like to do and are making money doing it?

Porn is a business, and this industry is tight-knit, with people who know people who know people, etc. But when it comes down to it, are you making money doing something you love or are you just wasting time and hoping something better comes along?

Find your strengths, weaknesses, likes and dislikes, then find a way to make those strengths and likes a regular part of your business. There's so much more to this than submitting galleries, making free sites, or doing anything that you really don't like.

Self assess and figure it out. I did and I'm damn glad I did.

I am a programmer and a SEO. They're both easy and make alot of money for me. I don't ever work more than 30-35 hours per week and probably pull down close to 6 figs yearly.

My biggest weakness is I have an attention spam about 15 minutes long. It takes alot of effort to get me to sit down and work hard sometimes. I hate it but I just don't feel like it sometimes.

I'm good with search engines and drinking alcohol. The first skill makes me money, the second takes it all away.

I think I'm schizophrenic - I can answer almost all those questions differently depending on what kind of mood I'm in

For instance, sometimes I love crowds, sometimes I hate them. Sometime I jump to the phone, sometimes I let it ring for days. Sometimes I spend leisure time socializing, other times I'm happy to read a book or watch movies alone.

I guess my strength is either that I'm adaptable or I'm such a mess, I don't realize how wacky I am

The last part of your post is exactly the magic formula missing from the lives of most.

The easiest money with the most satisfaction and personal happiness most of the time is the reward to live that discipline.. the masses have conveniently hypnotised themselves into believing "you can get there from here" by thinking of their misery and things they DON'T want..

I'm personally outstanding at blurting out minutes at a time of old Bugs Bunny cartoon routines..

Useful!
