Over the last few months, I have come across several people on my social media spaces asking the question, "How can I find my niche when I have so many things that I love to do?"

When I was growing up in our home setting and going through my education, I was bombarded with the same advice: Choose one thing. Focus. Do one thing so well and become known as the best.

But I couldn’t choose just one thing. I had multiple, deep passions — personal development, business, creative arts …….you name it

How do you pick a niche when you're a multi-passionate entrepreneur?

Is embracing being multi-passionate still holding you back from building your Dream Work Life?

Having a niche doesn't mean that you throw all of your other interests and passions into the trash and forget about them for the rest of your life. It's simply an opportunity for you to narrow your focus so you can actually be productive and achieve your goals without being scattered everywhere all at once.

Are you scared of leaving your stable full-time job, which makes you scared of putting yourself out there and having to market your services? Then choose a niche! 

I realized that choosing a niche isn’t a permanent decision. Actually I know of so many highly successful entrepreneurs who started as one thing, and then branched out into other directions. The one thing they have in common, they started. Eventually, they became known for something. And then they grew.

If you’re struggling to pick a niche, consider this:

• What skills do you have that people will pay you for?

• When has money come easiest for you in the past?

• What do you enjoy doing?

• Who do you enjoy working with?

Once you answer these questions, start by focusing and putting your efforts on the activity that most fits in. And since you are multi-passionate, you’ll gradually find yourself embracing your other passions.

However, if you truly feel that you cannot just do one thing, then there are a few ways you can still work on multiple things at once without feeling burnt out, unfocused or limited. 

How to have a niche and still be multi-passionate

Thriving as a multi-passionate entrepreneur is about embracing your many passions, understanding your goals, and taking consistent action to find clarity.

To get you moving, here are four tips to thrive as a multi-passionate:

1) Niche down each passion

Remember, niching down isn't just about your overall niche as a brand. It can also mean to niche down your target market, niche down your products and services, etc. In this case, niching down within each passion can also help you narrow your focus within each. 

For example, let’s say you love painting, coaching and writing. Instead of just saying that you're a painter, life coach, and writer, you could niche down each passion to say what you specifically do which could be that you paint scenic views, you're a relationship coach and that you are a copywriter.

2) Stay organized

You're going to need to make sure that you have different files, storage, emails, social media accounts, etc., for each of your passions - unless you have a way to incorporate them all together through talent stacking. 

3) Make plans and routines

When you plan, you give yourself the opportunity to get clear on the exact steps you need to take to reach your goals. Having a routine gives you the opportunity to keep your plan in place and help you stay on track. 

4) Set clear and specific goals for each passion

Clarity is one of the keys to unlocking confidence, persistence, and productivity. Be clear on which passion you want to turn into profits, and which passions are just meant for you to enjoy. Write down your goals and intentions for each passion that you are pursuing.

Remember, you’re not alone, there are many multi-passionates out there, and I work with many of them. You have one of the greatest gifts and it is up to you to show it to the world.
