    Why people love their work:
    Creativity - Improvise your work and implement your ideas.
    Control - Have some say of how, when and where your work gets done.
    Impact - Work has positive influence on customers or co-workers.
    Develop a rare and valuable skill set:
    • Scrap passion mindset then
    1. Take up craftsman mindset.
    • Willingness to improve craft
    2. Take on challenging projects.
    • Take on challenging projects that few other people are willing to do.
    • Will force you to learn skills that few other people have.
    • Niche projects
    3. Daily Deliberate Practice
    • A. Periods of undistracted focus
    • B. Cycle between comfort and discomfort
    • C. Feedback & Expert Guidance

    Outline of So Good They Can't Ignore You:
    1. Increased Competency = Increased Passion: The better you get at a mildly interesting job, the more likely it will become your calling, so it doesn't matter whether you follow your passion or not.
    2. People Love Their Work for 3 Reasons: *Creativity, Control, & Impact* - If you follow your passion but don't have these 3 reasons, your passion will fade with time.
    3. *Craftsman Mindset* (What can I offer the world?) over Passion Mindset (What can the world offer me?)
    4. Take on Challenging Niche Projects: This will force/allow you to develop rare and valuable skills that no one else has.
    5. Daily Deliberate Practice

      @@taxledgeradvisor Yet the person who created this brought more to the table then a bulleted summary. I'm with you, I try to cut corners as often as is possible, save time, money, etc... However, sometimes we can miss an experience that is enlightening and more fulfilling than "bottom line it for me". Anyway.... Namaste.

    • @mahjongtiles8389

      Thanks a million. When I heard this advice of not following one's passion and rather becoming really good at what you're doing, I became confused because they sounded similar to me because I thought that people will try to become good at only those things which interest them or in which they have even a little bit of passion. But your first point of this book's summary cleared my doubt. The work will become one's passion when one starts to grow one's competence in it. This work can range from mildly interesting to super interesting for the person. It is better to explore your interests and then try to grow your competence. Eventually, you will become an expert in one of your interests as you strive for it. *"Follow your passion"* says that you have to _find the perfect work_ for you which exists somewhere and you should not stop till you find it. *"So good they can't ignore you"* says that you should _try to become perfect at the work_ you're doing.

    1) Have a craftsmanship mindset. Where your goal is to become better at something. Not a passion mindset where you want to enjoy what you do.
    2) Take on niche challenges that others would maybe normally stay away from.
    3) Execute using the PEAK technique as taught by Anders Ericsson. Where you are challenging yourself at the limit of your capabilities during 30-60 minutes of un-distracted slots of times. Get feedback on your execution. And use your creativity and visualization to come up with ways to simplify your process.

    A) My job involves Control, Creativity, and Impact, which is why I love it despite the measly pay.
    B) I have a Rare & Valuable Skill Set, which I am often complimented on.
    C) Unfortunately, no matter how great my work quality is, it's always overshadowed by social problems (HFA - Aspergers). Bosses always value popularity contest over work quality.

  • @SwnkyTiger
    @SwnkyTiger Před 2 lety

    Pursuing a passion simply means you are more likely to enjoy the foundational work of building the ability or skill involved in said passion. Sustainable passion comes from meeting and managing reasonable goals and challenges (like in a video game) on a somewhat consistent basis. Complete a goal, feel good about succeeding. The greater the perceived challenged the greater the sense of accomplishment usually. Troubles lie in our perception or expectation in the ability to complete the goal. (i.e. "Don't bite off more than you can chew") This is exactly why regardless of how stupid or pointless I think something might be, I absolutely love and appreciate seeing it done well.

    Wow, that video really reflected my path to my passion. I thought I just followed my passion but when I consider how got where I am, it's a combination of so many skills I developed over time. Part of my passion is programming, which I hated due to my terrible university degree, but over time, as programming itself changed, I absolutely love it. And I got there, very much like the video says, by venturing into project others dont go near, not out of being brave, I seem to have a natural inclination to those projects.

    Hi there, I'm an aspiring music producer and DJ and these videos are excellent. I'm using them to improve my mindset and work ethic. Within the past year and a half I have completely learnt to make electronic music from scratch and have learnt how to DJ too. I currently have a potential record label asking for tracks and a remix that I produced with 400k streams on soundcloud. I want to thank you for all your effort you've put into these productions. They clearly take a lot of time! If one day I break through into the music scene I would love to give something back to you for helping me and so many others. Really be proud of what you've done with this channel, I wish more channels had similar content you provide. You are a great example to the youtube community and I hope you get the recognition you deserve. Thank you for all your hard work.

    To anyone that might read my cmment,following your passion is not total b.s unless you are passionate about bs things.We all have genuine curiosity on different areas and following them enables you to be good at something in a way you cant be replaced because you are also asking questions not everybody is asking.You end up developing what naval in in his famous tweet called "specific knowledge" because its knowledge so unique to you.Its knowledge society cant really train everyone and therefore you cant be replaced.Maybe the framing is wrong but followingyour passion can be really useful but like I said unless your passion isn't useful to people

  • @imakemusique
    @imakemusique Před 4 lety +20

    The passion theory is an interesting one. I feel the premise that I got from the book summary which is "if you only follow your passion because you think it will be easy, your going to give up when the going gets rough" offers a limited scope of what benefits there are in following something you are truly interested in and curious about. Having that curiosity and willingness to understand something fully will make you more inclined to pursue it completely. Would appreciate some feedback / reflections.

  • @k27ism
    @k27ism Před 4 lety +2

    For the past two years I have been evolving mildly towards this course of progress. Having to sacrifice what I thought were my passions for what seemed to be boring and uninteresting. I am someone who likes to plan ahead and I tried doing things to get me breaking through the jungle. It certainly was not easy and very difficult because I had to put in effort and learn skills in areas I didn't easily get that well. I took many subjects and challenges from science in high school then decided it was time to move on and switched to law. I had other passions but I stuck with this choice because I wanted to prove to myself if I had the wits to get around it.
    I can say that this video is on point. Even if you do have a passion on something if that passion is like fire it can die out any time so you have to feed it with wood every time. Unlike skill and patience which can be collected and applied across freely and widely across anything. I didn't know it yet but I was working for the skills not passion and yes often I questioned myself but I would not doubt my decision to make the calls when it really mattered. I am of course still learning but the most realest thing to me is having to look back and be pleased that despite shortcomings and many failures along the road I was eventually settling on the right way. Often I remind myself what I am doing and why. And I get it done. I ask questions and I am not afraid to go for the initiative and cease the opportunity or resume the advantage. If I am not winning now I will win again. If I am doing something wrong I am doing something right. I have an executive board meeting with myself and everyone I acknowledge as my collective experience to distil advice from. I make a plan or routine and remain loyal to it no matter the event. Keeping consistent and persistent like a headless zombie cockroach because I read somewhere those little fuckers can even survive a nuclear zone. Over time I realize it kinda gets lonely but I am not alone. I have me, you guys who also struggle and suffer to succeed in your lives, and good company from above to guide me.

    Thankyou so much for your videos. I am an aspiring 2d animatior and this really helps me craft routines that can help me improve. The craftmanship mindset vs the passion mindset was a real breakthrough for me right now. Once again, thank you for your time and patience when making these videos, have a great day. :^D👍
