How to Build a Career When You Have Too Many Interests

Are you happy to give all of your focus and passion to just one or two interests, perhaps building your career around that interest? It often feels like the expected norm, but there are so many creative souls out there that feel stifled by the prospect of settling on just one thing.

If you’re nodding your head, you might be a multipotentialite.

What’s a Multipotentialite?

TAA founder Cory is one. Emilie Wapnick is, too. Her TED talk on being a multipotentialite is a must-watch:

A multipotentialite is someone who has a wide array of passionate interests, and who struggles mightily with feeling forced to choose one to focus on.

Why it Feels Like a Bad Thing

Being a multipotentialite can cause you to feel like there’s something “wrong” with you- while everyone else is settling into focused careers, you balk at the prospect of narrowing your field of interest. You may end up spinning your wheels and not getting much done at all, afraid of missing out on something great if you settle.

Why it Can Be a Great Thing

The great news is that multipotentialites are curious, passionate, and driven people. With a little guidance, you can learn how to thrive and create the life you’ve dreamed about without giving up any of your varied creative pursuits.
