136: What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up? Its Never Too Late To Find Your Dream Job

 
Hello and welcome to ‘Soul Why? Secrets Of The Soul Rich Woman Blueprint’ I am Genecia Alluora, author of two best-selling books, former Ms. Singapore, café retail chain owner, Southeast Woman  Asia of Excellence 2010, and International Progressive Women 2019, I’m also the Founder of Soul Rich Woman.
  
Today in this episode. I want to talk about What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up It's Never Too Late To Find Your Dream Job.

Everyone loves asking little kids that question. Mainly because they will say it’s such interesting things like a doctor, astronaut, a ballerina, a veterinarian.

Of course, children aren’t so bothered by the fact that they’ll one day need a job that pays the bills or need to have skills that will pay the bill or care about making sensible decisions and choices. 

They just want to do what makes them happy.

And me? Much earlier in my life, I wanted to be a vet. A veterinarian. I love animals so much.  I have three cats and one dog. I love animals so much. 

And the other one  I wanted to be is to have my own business. Which is that didn’t work out, I wanted to be a professional dancer.

 What was your burning desire as a child?  

04:00- 04:15  Most people have a secret dream of what they want to be and do with their lives. Some are already living it – either as a career or as a hobby. Others are too scared to even articulate what they want.

How do you discover your dream job or your purpose in life?

04:22- 04:33 I will say, look for clues.  Finding your ideal job or purpose is really obvious when you connect the dots, when you look back.  

04:39- 04:46 Because it’s been a dream for a long time, or it just fits so perfectly with your innate skills and talents. 

04:47- 04:58 People who find their passion in life say that “Everything just came together”, or “All of my experiences in life has led me to this”.

05:07- 05:11  Clues can be found in childhood as well. 

06:50- 06:53 Take the first steps. And do it afraid anyway.

06:54- 06:57 Once you have an inkling and idea of your passion,

07:00- 07:26 then you can take steps towards changing your career or living in your purpose. For example, volunteering, shadowing someone in your chosen field, an apprentice of Soul Rich Woman, taking it on as a side hobby or completing a course like a Soul Rich Woman Blueprint to get new qualifications.  It doesn’t matter how old or young are you– time is going to pass by anyway.

Make the change

09:16- 09:36 I know that making drastic changes can be scary. I get it, but it’s also liberating. Quitting a horrible job is awesome, applying for your dream job is a great step in the right direction, but you have to do something – otherwise you’ll stay exactly where you are now.

09:38- 10:21  If you “can’t afford” to make the change, then start to plan how you could ease into a new career without completely derailing your life or cause yourself so much stress. Put aside a bit of money for your program, start changing your spending habits now to anticipate a drop in income or spare some time outside your current job to move towards your dreams. #SideHustle. Now,  you might be working late nights and weekends for a while, but I guaranteed, it will pay off eventually and you’ll enjoy it because it will be entirely for you.

Key Takeaways:
  1. What do you love to do?
  2. What have you always dreamt about doing with your life?
  3. What do other people tell you that you’d be fantastic at?
  4. What courses do you dream about taking?
  5. If you didn’t have to worry about taking a pay cut, or what other people thought about it, what would you do?

Welcome to the show.

[00:01:34]
Genecia Alluora: Hello, gorgeous. I'm Genecia Alluora, the author of two best selling books, Make It Happen and Personal Branding Secrets, former Miss Singapore International, Cafe Retail Chain owner, Southeast Asia Woman of Excellence 2010, and International Progressive Women 2019. I'm also the founder of Soul Rich Woman. And today in this episode, I want to talk about what do you want to be when you grow up? And it's never too late to find your dream job. I mean, everyone loves to ask our children that question, mainly because they will say very interesting things like a doctor, astronaut, maybe a ballerina, a veterinarian.

[00:02:26]
Genecia Alluora: Of course, children aren't so bothered by the fact that they'll one day need a job that pays the bills, or need to have skills that will pay the bills, or care about making sensible decisions and choices. They just want to do what makes them happy. And me, much earlier in my life, I wanted to be a vet, a veterinarian. I love animals so much. I have three cats and one dog, well adopted one. And I love animals so, so, so, so much. And I just want to be that. And the other one I wanted to be was to own my own business, which if it doesn't work out, I thought I will be a professional dancer.

[00:03:17]
Genecia Alluora: I never thought I would meander through my life, through different options. And you know what? I wasn't able to become a veterinarian because first I think my grades couldn't make it. And of course, I had to support myself through school since I was 14 years old. And even then, I wasn't good enough to win a scholarship to go do my Veteranian studies. But maybe now I could. But nevertheless, now I'm a business owner. So it's quite funny how life works out for you. So what about you? What was your burning desire as a child? Most people have a secret dream of what they want to be and to do with their lives. Some are already living it either as a career or as a hobby. Others are too scared to even articulate what they want. How do you discover your dream job or your purpose in life? I would say look for clues. Now, finding your ideal job or purpose is really obvious when you connect the dots, when you look back.

[00:04:31]
Genecia Alluora: That means it's like a look back and you try to connect your dots on hindsight. Because it's really been a dream for a really long time, or it just fits so perfectly with your innate skills and talent. People who find their passion in life say that everything just came together, or all of my experiences in life has led me to this. I would say that to you as well. I would say that all my life experiences has led me to Soul Rich Woman. So clues can be found in childhood as well. Now, I have a girlfriend from my New Paper New Face competition days. She was just a really good girlfriend even up to today since 2004. She's always wanted to be an actress from a really young age. And right now, she's one of the media cop actresses or what I call the local TV station actress and has gone international as well in Taiwan and doing it full time. So if you have no idea, but you know for sure that you are not doing it because anything but what I'm doing now isn't specific enough for the universe to manifest the right opportunities, people, and resources to help you along the way.

[00:05:53]
Genecia Alluora: Consider these following, okay? These questions. Ready? First, what do you love to do? Two, what have you always dreamed about doing with your life? Three, what do other people tell you that you are fantastic and fabulous at? Number four, what dream courses do you think about taking all the time? Number five, if you didn't have to worry about taking a pay cut, what or what other people thought about you doing with your life, what would you do? These yummy five questions are really yummy. And these are the questions sometimes I ask and talk about it on my live shows as well as in my coaching with my clients. So I would say take the first steps and do it afraid anyway. Because once you have an inkling, an idea of your passion, like a light bulb or aha moment, then you can take some steps towards changing your career or living in your purpose. For example, volunteering, shadowing someone in your chosen field, being an apprentice of Soul Rich Woman, taking it on a side hobby, or completing a course like this Soul Rich Woman Blueprint to get new qualifications. It doesn't matter how old or young are you.

[00:07:24]
Genecia Alluora: Time is going to pass by anyway. I remember I interviewed Gary Vaynerchuk for my podcast for women who love the F Word. And he said, go to the elderly's home and look into the eyes of the elderly. What do you see? Happiness, regret, sadness, anger, whatever that you want to see, you think you saw. What do you see in your own life? What do you want to see in your own life when you grow old? So life is really short. Life, you only live once. Now you might look at the length of time it would take to complete a completely new line of study. For example, getting certified as a podcast coach with our instant podcast leader certification and licensing program. You think, Oh, my God. It will take how many days or how many weeks? Or what's the point? Right? I tell that to my friend Dawn, who almost finished her part time psychology course, and she started on top of a completely different career. And kudos to my another friend, Ben, who did his part time MBA. Times goes really quickly. So I've got another girlfriend who became a reflexologist after working in a departmental store for years and hates it, despite having no clue of how she was going to do it.

[00:09:03]
Genecia Alluora: I've got girlfriends turning from occupational therapist into running a F&B business. So I would say make the change. I know that making drastic changes can be scary. I get it. But it's also liberating. Quitting a horrible job is awesome. Applying for your new dream job is a great step in the right direction, but you have to do something. Otherwise, you stay exactly where you are now. And if you can't afford to make the change, then start to plan how you could ease into a new career without completely derailing your life or cause yourself so much stress. Put aside a bit of money for your program. Start changing your spending habits now to anticipate a drop in income or spare some time outside of your current job to move towards your dream. #sighthustle. Now, you might be working late nights and weekends for a little, but I guarantee it will pay off eventually and you will enjoy because it will be entirely for you. Remember, this is about you. It's never about me. You investing in yourself is not going to change my life one bit. I'm not going to get a new car, a new home, another new Chanel. No, I'm not going to get that because you are investing in you.

[00:10:39]
Genecia Alluora: So even just indulging in your passion as a hobby that will make big changes in your life, do it. Doing a night course on photography that will spark your creativity, volunteering with animals will make up for never becoming a vet, and going on a once in a lifetime holiday will probably satisfy that inner dream. For me, I'll never be a professional dancer and I'll never be a veterinarian. I just occasionally do my country line dancing and on my YouTube videos and dance with it. But it reminds me that my passions are important and also adopting three cats and they are my family. So what are you doing or going to do to make a change in your life? My answer to you, own it. As you make the transition into your new life, you have to start seeing yourself in a new way before other people will. It took me so long to tell people that I was running an online platform that's called Soul Rich Woman. I just sometimes didn't believe it in myself. How could I tell people that?

[00:12:04]
Genecia Alluora: Sometimes it just feel like weird. These are my own limiting beliefs that I too had to clear to just like you. Well, I just want to say that what you say becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. So next time someone ask you what you do, just experiment. For example, you can say I'm an actress, I own my own business, I'm an author, I'm a photographer, I'm a graphic designer, etc. My dad always tell me this joke. I said, Dad, because he was hospitalized and then he was hospitalized for some conditions. When he was discharged, I asked him, So dad, why did you get discharged so early? He said Dr. Loh allowed him to discharge. He said, I'm my own doctor. My father really is quite a funny person. You will tell me that he's his own doctor. But jokes aside, remember, get your business cards made up, start a website or make a brochure. It will help you to feel that it's real.

[00:13:24]
Genecia Alluora: You can use tools like Canva or Pic monkey to help me to do just that. Now, if you feel uncomfortable telling people your dream, then get out there and get some experience. Everyone has to start somewhere. Most professions have an apprentice ship of sorts, or internship. Don't be embarrassed if you have to start at the bottom. And sometimes with purpose and passion fueling you, you won't be there for long. Don't worry about doing work for free at the beginning. I too started that way. So this is just to get your confidence, your mojo up, and to help you believe in yourself and your work.

[00:14:09]
Genecia Alluora: So I'll ask again, my dear, what do you want to be when you grow up? When you grow outside of your limitations, fears, and self doubts, when you grow out of the need of needing other people's approval, when you grow out of living up to the expectations of others. When you grow out of those nayslayers and dream slayers giving you cold blanket, when you finally give yourself permission to dream and be happy, I'd love to hear about how you're making your dream a reality one step at a time. We all have a part to play in this. This is your time and you are ready for the next step. The more you take action you take in a consistent way, the faster you build momentum and really grow your business.
