Hi ,I've been getting a lot of positive responses from my recent eNewsletter posts regarding my tiny career idea.So much so in fact that I want to ask you where you would like me to go in the near future with related information.In other words, as I continue to explore my own tiny career mindset/approach what information would best help you in your own tiny career pursuit?What questions do you have that perhaps I can address?What format would you like further tiny career information in? How would you like me to develop and deliver useful tiny career ideas and insights for/to you?Any feedback you can offer will ultimately benefit you as I distill questions, thoughts and ideas I receive into useful info that can benefit our entire community.Hit reply and let me know.I finally rented the movie Moneyball online the other night. I know, it came out quite a while ago, but in my defense I have a 5 year old so I'm a bit behind...Anywho...Google the synopsis of the movie, but what you need to know is that one of the least funded teams in Major League Baseball back in the early 2000's, the Oakland A's, used statistics and probability to build a formula on how they could build a winning team on a small budget by paying attention to their players' on-base percentages.There's a parallel in business, Chris Brogan has also highlighted this in his latest book.  The parallel for your creative pursuits is finding those key statistics, or better yet, that one key indicator that if you affect it positively will have a positive impact on your success.This can be applied to marketing and sales, but I'm thinking of how this affects you.  What key indicator motivates you to want to move in a particular work/life direction.What are the kinds of activities that energize you. The kind of activities where you lose track of time. Now, are there any activities like that in your current profession? Or something even remotely close in your work?Now think in a similar way about the kinds of activities that drain your energy. What are the draining activities in your current profession?Now you have information about yourself from both sides of the spectrum -- what you like and don't like.Now think about your profession or your own current tiny career.  How do the activities that energize you, come your way?  Where do you find them?  Can you build a process to generate more of those kinds of activities in your work and life?  Can you find others who excel in the areas that drain you and get them to help you?How can you take a measure of the one or two kinds of activities (those key indicators) that really energize you in your work?By keeping a pulse on these activities you will benefit your motivation to keep moving forward no matter what your profession. If your profession is absent of any such activities, you may want to consider a change.Essentially, this is a foundational part of any purposeful success -- tiny career or otherwise.Remember to hit reply with your feedback.Thanks,Nick Venturellawww.nickventurella.comwww.nickvmusic.netwww.growloop.comwww.tinycareer.com
