We’ve been taught to think that being multi-passionate means we’re not good at any one thing, lack focus, and are easily distracted. BUT THAT’S JUST NOT TRUE. Being multi-passionate means you’re curious, interesting, driven to learn, excited about life & being creative. In this episode we talk about what it means to be multi-passionate, how to celebrate and honor you many creative ideas, how to identify the type of multi-passionate you are, and how to do it all - in the best way that works for you.
We discuss 4 models which are written in the book “How to be Everything” by Emilie Wapnie:
- The Group Hug approach: This is about having one multifaceted job or business that involves wearing many different hats.
- The Slash approach: This model involves having 2 or more part-time jobs going at the same time or move between on a regular basis.
- The Einstein approach: Here you have one full-time job or business, but it leaves you time and energy to pursue other passions on the side.
- The Phoenix approach: You work in a single industry for months or years, then to change career in a new industry.
