[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We’re all told we are supposed to love our work. But unfortunately, not many people do. And who could blame them? Most jobs are just that – jobs. At Cast Capital, the entrepreneurs we work with have a real passion their careers. And passion is what it’s all about! But if some of the items in this article don’t apply to you, it may be time for a change in career trajectory. Something we’ve learned from interacting with business owners is that people can fall in love with almost any kind of work. Here are a few of signs we see again and again from successful American business owners who love their job.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”1. You are excellent at what you do” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1512686185121{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]It’s extremely unlikely to get skillful at a job you don’t like. And if you acquire abilities from a job you dislike, you may find that you actually start to enjoy the profession. That’s because when you are truly good at what you do, it becomes an art. You’re able to almost have a sixth sense for things. For example, most of the personalities who hate sales haven’t actually done much selling. It’s only when they really start connecting with people and providing value that sales becomes fun.
That being said, you shouldn’t stick with a position long-term with the hopes you will start to like it. Life’s too short for that. Instead, aim to be somewhere that perfects the tasks you currently like doing.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”2.

And like-minded co-workers tend to enjoy each others company.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”3.

Likewise, we could talk for hours about funding (even though you may find it boring). If you catch yourself excited to talk about your job, then you’ve most likely found the right career for you![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”We love funding!” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1512748067810{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]For us, funding is a way of life. It’s about identifying the potential for America’s businesses, then working with them to meet their goals. And the organizations we work with have very ambitious goals – most of which are within reach with a little help.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
