Seven signs your career crossroads is sending you a whisper to make a bold move...
Everyone’s talking about BC and AC. Before Covid and After Covid. We are about to taste the first After Covid sampler with restrictions lifted on safe zones, Australia being a lucky contender. So here’s the big news folks. We are leaving behind the industrial and information revolutions, bagging up our knowledge and entering the new world of work. Introducing the Passion Economy.
The Passion Economy is where the Gig Economy is no longer the driver, but hitchhikes for the ride. It’s a place where you can use your talents holistically, love what you do and earn a decent crust. With e-commerce and high tech booming, country borders are fading out and you can ping out to the global consumer world that you have a solution to their problem. That’s over 7 billion potential customers! They love you as they are getting a service unbouldered with overhead costs without compromising on service. And when their problem solve is not in your niche, not an issue, you have a network of fellow solopreneurs and referrals!
The Passion Economy is a place where you land on GO and collect your $500!
I’m looking into the Bernard Salt crystal ball and predicting the collapse of the employer empire and rise of the solopreneur awakening. The associate model of bartering specialisations will dim the light on employee-based security. And this will shine a spotlight on our unique gifts, passions and market worth, so we can live an aligned life of actualisation and beyond. On our terms, without the shackles of by-gone corporation controls.
If this sounds appealing to you, no need to look to a talisman for answers, here are seven signs you’re about to embark on the passage to the new earth:
Sign me up!!
You’ve been an employee for most of your career. You don’t mind the security of a regular income, but there’s this strange niggling for something more...you just can’t codify what.
You fantasise about going it alone and visualise you in your startup as BossPerson, totally embodied with social consciousness and eco friendly kitchenware.
You then have a mild freak out and seize up at the thought of long thankless hours of small business set up with uncertainties and no guarantees..having hives yet?
You’ve been told you are unique and a master at your craft and you should believe in yourself. You believe this. At least you think you do. Or is that your head and heart in a spin. EEK this is a head f@#k, get me out of here!
You love the idea of flexibility. Actually the long hours don’t sound too bad. As long as you get to decide when to activate them. Versus being a slave to a typical productivity cycle disguised as ‘Agile’.
Despite what some people think (especially if they’ve seen you before your intravenous morning caffeine shot), you actually love life, and the stuff it can offer you with a bit of creativity, grit and patience.
You are sick of being facebook ad bombed about people living their best lives with their laptops under a coconut tree - but you kinda want to be that person.
If you are screaming a big Yass this be me, then know that you are entering your zone of genius. It’s like an itchy bug that makes you feel uncomfortable though. Uncomfortable is not an exciting feeling. It’s scary actually. Maybe even a bit foreign. Yet uncomfortable is where dreams come to grow, and goals live to be realised. It’s where your passion hits the rubber with opportunity.
In this new world of After Covid, so many possibilities are being birthed. Including the freelance skillsforce where people like you are valued for your unique perspective, side hustle hobbies and accumulated experience. So think about this. The time spent on commuting, toiling and reporting can be reinvested into your own product development, relationship building and personal development. Even one year of scale back can result in a sustainable lifelong vocation. Not for someone else but for you, your family and your lifestyle. Can you hear the freedom bells ringing?

Wait no more my friend! The Passion Economy is emerging for people just like you.
You are about the long game and you know that the Before Covid is written in history on your watch. It’s time for you to start chronicling the new chapter of your life’s work.
