The Fulfillment Traingle
Notes from the BiggerPockets Podcast, Episode 353, “Turning $5k into $5k/Month and Retiring at 40 with Tim Rhode” (Link: BiggerPockets)
“So, my point is if you’re not in that fulfillment triangle where your passions meet your talents, where there’s opportunity in the marketplace. If you’re not currently in that do what David did, do what I did when I was a grocery clerk. Effing fix it. Find a way to fix it.”
– Tim Rhode
The Fulfillment Triangle = where passion meets talent meets opportunity
So, how do you find your passion?
“You go inside and you do the tough inner work to figure out who in the heck am I at my core. What do I like, and what don’t I like?… Then where will I fit? What could I wake up every single day thinking, ‘And they pay me to do this’?”
– Tim Rhode
Power in Patience
“…I have this concept of when we were kids there were these balsa wood propellers. Or, balsa wood airplanes that have these rubber band propellers… So, you put it together and if you wind it a few times it goes right in front of you and falls at your feet. If you wind it more it goes across the room 10, 15 feet. If you keep winding it, and winding it, and winding it, and give it one more wind it soars beautifully.
The challenge is, is this like a lot of things in life. People want things handed to them. They think it’s going to be easy. They just wind their propeller a few times and get frustrated because they don’t get results. Or they wind it pretty good and get decent results. If you just dig a little deeper, and wind it. Whatever it is for you, wind it a few more times you’re going to find amazing results.”
