The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” -Steve Jobs

How many times have you heard someone say this? If you’re anything like me, there are too many to count. But what does it mean? And how can you find success if you don’t even know where the box is?

Jobs was onto something when he said that the only way to do great work is to love what you do. To succeed, you must be passionate about what you’re doing. You must be willing to put in the time and effort, even when you don’t know where the box is.

So how do you find success when you don’t know where the box is?

By thinking outside of it. Or, don’t think about it!

Here are three ways to do just that:

🎯1. Define your goals.

What are you trying to achieve? What does success look like to you? Once you have a clear picture of what you’re striving for, it will be easier to think outside the box and find creative solutions.

🎯2. Be persistent.

Don’t give up just because something isn’t working as you want it to. There’s always another way to skin a cat, so they say. So try again until you find a way that works for you.

🎯3. Ask for help.

You don’t have to go it alone. If you’re stuck, reach out to your network or hire a consultant to help you see things from a different perspective.

Remember, the only way to do great work is to love what you do.

So if you’re unsure where the box is, think outside of it and find your path to success.
