Slash youth always sounds glamorous, but in reality, many people are exhausted from just doing one job. They are 30 years old in a blink of an eye. They are just a clerk selling cheap labor, but they are unwilling to admit defeat and always hope to have the opportunity to improve their talents and financial resources.
Lorraine, who was born in 1985, is 31 years old this year, but she believes that this is far from the age where she should lose weight. Lorraine, who has 8 years of experience in the Internet SEM industry, is now an Internet operations director. In addition, she is also the second expert in the industry in the country, the founder of the time management special training camp, the core management member of the Shenzhen Early Reading Club, a columnist on multiple platforms, and a self-media person. Multiple identities also bring Lorraine an income of more than 100,000 yuan a month. For example, last month she earned more than 10,000 yuan by answering nearly 1,000 questions.
Recently, Lorraine also shared her story and experience on Chitu on her transformation from a monotonous workplace person to a slash talent with multiple identities. Below we have compiled some of the interesting information for your reference:
Multiple identities first require multiple attempts, but you must have done one thing relatively successfully before multiple attempts. When you have an achievement event, you will have a strong ability to summarize, and you can use your ability to apply successful experiences to other things. If you are already doing multiple things, you can choose one of the multiple things that is relatively easy and has a relatively high completion rate as an achievement event.
The important thing is to do one thing well first, then let this thing bring you strength, and then do the next thing, and slowly gain greater gains through a positive cycle. I personally set more goals for myself when I was 29 years old, and then achieved them step by step. I worked very hard in the first five years of my career, so I have achieved certain results at work and know how to do one thing well at work. Then I became a mother who started writing. Now, nearly 10 publishers have approached me to publish books, and I am also a writer of multiple columns.
Every time in the eyes of others, my identity has become too much to manage, but I will still find a way to spare 20% of my time to try new things. How to achieve balance? I live according to the formula 1+N. In most cases, the focus of my life is 1. And N is an event that has no benefits in the short term, but if you persist in doing it, you can achieve a better effect, such as reading, exercising, and sharing. At each stage, I will pick a 1, maybe stick to it for a month or two, until I reach a better state and then replace this 1. For example, I just recently changed my job as an Internet operations director, so I will focus on this job.
Many people are confused, how to find their multiple identities in the first place? In fact, the process of creating multiple identities is a process in which one's own advantages are constantly magnified. If your strengths are obvious, you will find that you will continue to receive positive feedback in the process of doing something.
I will follow three directions in finding multiple identities:
1. Rely on existing work to strengthen professional image.
2. Find an identity that is completely different from your current job.
You can combine it with your interests. For example, see if you particularly like beautiful things, can draw mind maps, make journals, or especially like singing. Through these, you can attract more people's attention to you. For example, I will learn some speaking skills through reading books, and then turn "being able to speak" into a label for myself, and this is a completely different identity from my current job.
3. Weaken the proportion of existing roles.
Many people when exploring their identity say they are too busy to do so. You can never have your cake and eat it too. If you are really interested, you can temporarily reduce the proportion of work and then spend more energy exploring.
Creating multiple identities is actually not difficult. In addition to looking for possible directions, the most important thing is to learn to use some good tips or methods. Last year, I wrote down my Micro Dream List. For example, I hope I can run more than 15 kilometers. I hope I can try to write 10,000 words a day, and then share it to get more people's supervision and support. Then you can set aside 1 hour every day, or set aside 21 days per month to check in on a certain topic. In addition, closed-loop learning is also important, that is, learning quickly, absorbing quickly, and sharing quickly. For example, after I read a book, I will absorb the ideas and techniques from the book, and even use what I learned the previous day right away the next day.
Sometimes, when you are doing something, you may find that you don't like it while you are doing it. At this time, you can consider changing it, but only if there is a better alternative project. If not, you should continue to persist until you find a better one;
Now I am a connoisseur, a columnist. But the process of exploring different identities is really hard, and you will encounter various setbacks, so you must learn to reconcile with yourself. When I first started writing parenting articles, I was called a stepmother by others. I was in a very bad mood at the time, but I don’t feel like that now., because I think that is some test for me on the way forward. In addition, don't force yourself when you are particularly tired. Make sure that you are physically and mentally happy when you are doing something. For example, go to bed after reading a book and you are already very tired.
