How do I know what I'm good at?

[jhonattan]

Could anyone help me how to find out what I'm good at?

I am 20 years old and I have no work experience.
Today I am reselling football shirts with a friend from middle school.
I would like someone to help me with the question I asked up there.
I hear people saying '' work on something you're good at '. And when you don't know what you're good at, what do you do?

I will say work on something you're interested in, after checking multiple subforums. You will become good at it, in no time.
Especially, don't miss checking out Making Money and My Journey Discussions subforums to get idea and start your own.

That's a tough question, and only you can validate/prove that.

Also why are you posting this on the Introduction Section tho
Welcome to BHW nonetheless

You have to solicit honest feedback from others. Generally friends and family are no bueno for this. For example, if you think you are good at art, post some of your work on platforms like reddit, deviant art, etc. and ask for 100% blunt and honest feedback. If you think you are good at web design, post an example of a site you have developed (on reddit, here, etc.)

A lot of times you need to figure out what JOB or type of WORK will be successful based on your SKILLs. Are you really social / a good talker / naturally charismatic? Then try sales (go find a real estate agent or insurance salesperson and see if you can be their apprentice.) If you are really into coding, find a part time job / paid internship doing programming and see how it goes. (Personally, I used to think I would be into programming, and had done it as a hobby for quite some time - then I got an internship working on a website and that is pretty much how I realized I actually HATE coding as a job!)

Also accept and embrace the fact that you will likely wind up doing something else eventually; very few people hit the nail on the head and find their perfect role in their 20s.

IMO, you should perform IKIGAI exercise of finding a match between the skill sets, interest and passion you possess and you will surely arrive at a logical inference of what you should pursue. Search IKIGAI on the internet and take it forward. Good luck!

Você deve solicitar feedback honesto de outras pessoas. Geralmente amigos e familiares não são bons para isso. Por exemplo, se você acha que é bom em arte, poste alguns de seus trabalhos em plataformas como reddit, arte desviante, etc. e peça um feedback 100% direto e honesto. Se você acha que é bom em web design, poste um exemplo de um site que você desenvolveu (no reddit, aqui, etc.)

Muitas vezes você precisa descobrir qual JOB ou tipo de TRABALHO terá sucesso com base em suas HABILIDADES. Você é realmente social / um bom conversador / naturalmente carismático? Em seguida, tente vendas (encontre um corretor de imóveis ou vendedor de seguros e veja se você pode ser seu aprendiz). Se você realmente gosta de programação, encontre um emprego de meio período / estágio remunerado fazendo programação e veja como funciona. (Pessoalmente, eu costumava pensar que iria gostar de programação, e já fazia isso como um hobby há algum tempo - então consegui um estágio trabalhando em um site e foi assim que percebi que na verdade ODEIO codificação como trabalho! )

Aceite e abrace também o fato de que provavelmente acabará fazendo outra coisa; muito poucas pessoas acertam em cheio e encontram seu papel perfeito aos 20 anos.

You have given answer to your own question - Marketing & Sales

 

[IG Professor]

If you find success with what you are doing right now then probably you are good at it.
scale

Check out the list of money-making careers online/offline. Find which topic grabs your attention and gives you hope to start. If you're already doing good in the current reselling business, continue doing it.

Simple answer is try stuff until you know what you are great at

 

[marketpros44]

You should be working at something you enjoy.
You may not be good at it yet.
People who aren´t naturals have to work harder but it doesn´t mean they can´t be better than the guy born with talent.

 

[starcity83]

For me it's much easier to determine what I'm no good at.

Trial and error is the only way. Eventually you’ll find something that you will really like.

20 is Too Young. Dont lie to yourself and you will notice it. Try as much as possible
