Chris Koerner uses his story of rediscovering joy in mowing his lawn to show how to find work you love. Look for the overlap between what the world needs, what you love, and what you can charge for. Experiment and explore rather than stay stuck in a job you hate.
So 90% of human beings have a fundamental problem that can be solved with this one analogy. So for my whole life, I hated mowing the lawn. I hired a lawn guy for the last decade, and I didn't even think about it until a few months ago. I bought a riding mower. And now I get outside almost every night to mow the lawn, even when it doesn't need to be mowed. I love it. It's fun. It feels like a game, and it saves me money, and it's productive, and it teaches my kids how to work. And it's like. It's the perfect overlap of all these good quality qualities. I love it. It saves me money. It's enjoyable, and it's good. Right? So think about the relationship or the job that you're in that you don't love, because most people are in that situation. We live in a world now where you don't have to stay in that forever. You can be curious and try a ton of different things in your free time. Okay? So find the overlap of something that the world needs, something that you love and something that you can charge money for. And you won't know what it is until you chase every shiny object and try all the things. Follow me for more ideas like this.
