Selecting your NICHE can help you learn about yourself.
Hello,
I just wanted to share a little about my road to selecting my niche. Having lots of interests has proven to be one of my greatest challenges. My work history has led me down many roads from running English schools and a kindergarten in Taiwan and China, developing a 6-level English curriculum for early learners of English as a second language, working for a large export business in China that exports school and laboratory equipment, social services and more.
I've always wanted to complete my university degree, and with 4 children, that was always something I "wanted to do." When I did finally commit to completing my degree, I selected Criminal Justice as my major, switched to Web Development, fell in love with my programming class and switched to Database Management to learn programming languages. I ended up stopping for a while due to things happening in life that prohibited me from giving it the attention it needed. I came back to it again about a year ago, and changed my major once again to Business Administration. Now I am about 1 year away from completing my degree, but it took me all of that to figure out what degree I even wanted.
You can imagine that selecting a niche has been equally challenging for me. What I found was that when I started out, I began working the niche and in the process I learned a lot about myself. About what I enjoy researching and writing about, and what drives me. It has been an education! Lol, you'd think I'd know myself by now.
After all this rambling, the point I really wanted to make is that if you are struggling with selecting a niche, look at it as an opportunity to learn more about yourself. Take the first steps and let that carry you forward. Try something, then try something else. Maybe your niche will find you in the process!
Abundance, love and happiness to all of you!
