The author of this article is Fredo, who works in a foreign financial industry and has long been concerned about project management, enterprise architecture and FinTech. Thank you for your permission to publish. I would like to express my gratitude.

If you don’t step out of your comfort zone, your life will not change.

After listening to Mr. V’s sharing in Reading Club about using the nine-square grid to plan life profit and creating a self-brand, I immediately made an appointment with Da V to discuss my life plan. In order to express my determination, we carefully chose to meet at 7:30 in the morning the day after the typhoon. The two of us discussed personal career Jiugongge at the Oromo Cafe near the station.

The middle-aged uncle’s plan

I once heard someone say: “Happy people know how to plan their own lives.” The calculation referred to here does not mean plotting against others or stepping on other people’s shoulders to gain a high position, but knowing how to plan and control one’s own life.

Although I am fortunate to have better benefits because I work in a foreign financial company, I can’t help but worry a little. How old can I be with this job? Will I receive a notice one day without warning that I have to pack up and go home to eat on my own? As the saying goes, “If you don’t have long-term worries, you must have immediate worries.” Therefore, it is really necessary to re-examine yourself and examine what abilities you have to make profits? Moreover, you should use your off-duty time to continue to accumulate your abilities.

Let’s start practicing with the output first.

List all the possible interests that come to mind on Nine Gongge. After listening to V University’s analysis, I also understand that my interests are not equal to the ability to be monetized, so it is necessary to distinguish between my major and life sharing. The professional part has a better chance of being monetized in the future. For example, you can combine your own characteristics of being good at painting to differentiate yourself from others in operating websites.

After some discussion, the direction of efforts for the professional part was established:

1. It is necessary to continuously output and write articles, and at the same time collect related blogs at home and abroad.
2. Think about your pen name.
3. Prepare to set up your own website.

Make good use of backward thinking to think about what goals you want to achieve in five years.

Finally, I would like to share that I heard V University mention the Story of the well-known singer Li Shuquan twice in a row. p/vista/products/0010725962?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-201708).

Li Shuquan, a pop singer who has won four platinum albums, always asks himself when he is confused about life: “What do you most want to see yourself doing in five years?” This question allows him to have clear deadlines and specific plans for the future, so that he can achieve his goals step by step and create achievements. As a result, he started his own music career and became the first Chinese singer to be on the U.S. Billboard charts and nominated for a Grammy Award.

At the beginning, Li Shuquan wanted to become a famous singer. Although he had a clear goal, due to his busy work, he could never find time to compose music. After a friend’s reminder, he understood that if he wanted to achieve his goal, he could use the “backwards method” to think carefully. Looking back to the next five years, one year, or one month, what specific goals did he want to achieve? In this way, you will know what action plan to draw up.

Using the nine-square grid to plan a personal career blueprint is indeed just the beginning. The point is that with its help, you can comprehensively examine your own profitability from a commanding height. “If you have a dream in life, build your dream with a solid foundation.” After listening to Mr. V’s sharing, I understand that the more important key is to continue to practice and practice!
