This week on the Creatives on Fire Podcast, I’m getting honest about something that’s been weighing on me: wondering if what I’ve been building is still right for me. Maybe you've asked yourself the same question.
Between Google traffic dips, social media changes, and shifting industry trends, it’s easy to doubt. But before you give up, take a breath. Slow down. Reflect.
Let’s walk through 7 powerful clues to help you discover whether you’re still operating in your sweet spot — that magical place where purpose, passion, and potential meet.
7 Clues You’re in Your Sweet Spot
- It captures your imagination and inspires you daily. You think about it when you wake up and fall asleep with ideas swirling. But don’t expect instant fireworks — sometimes your sweet spot needs a trial run (think: 90-day mattress guarantee!).
- Even when it’s hard, you never want to give up. Challenges don’t stop you. They fuel you. If you keep coming back to it despite setbacks, you’re likely doing what you’re meant to do.
- You’re more excited about it than anyone else. When others lose interest or walk away, you’re still here — energized, hopeful, and maybe even a little Pollyanna about the future. That’s a sign.
- It consumes your thinking — in a good way. You find yourself mentally working through ideas throughout your day because you want to. It’s not draining, it’s life-giving.
- It shapes your identity. Whether you realize it or not, people know you for what you do. It defines how others see you — and often, how you see yourself.
- It feels easier for you than it does for others. What others find overwhelming, you find exciting. It doesn’t mean it’s easy, but it means you’re equipped.
- It’s where your purpose, passion, and potential intersect. When all three align, that is your sweet spot. And if you’re not sure what your passion is, I’ve linked a free resource here to help you find it.
Final Thoughts
If you’re feeling frozen — unsure if you should keep going — don’t quit. Slow down, reflect, and remember why you started.
I personally hit a wall and stopped posting. But I found my way back by revisiting my "why":
- Time freedom
- Limitless income opportunity
- Creative expression They’re all still possible — even if the landscape looks different.
The takeaway? You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to take the next right step. Keep going. Keep testing. Don’t give up too soon.
