FIND YOUR NATURAL ABILITIESEvery person has his or her own unique strengths

To find your strenghts, try as many activites and roles as possible. There is no other way to find what you’re good at if you don’t actively try out new things. Do not be limited by your fears failure and the fear of being a novice. Everybody and even the greats had to start being mediocre or average but worked on improving their craft over time.

“To develop a strength in any activity requires certain natural talents.” - Donald Clifton

STEP 1

CHOOSE ONLY ONE AREA OF EXPERTISEYou only have limited time and resources to devote to your craft

To truly be an expert, you need to say no to the many good in order to be the best and make a meaningful contribution to your field. Choosing only one area guarantees expertise in the long run since this allows you to devote precious time , mental, physical and emotional resources to incrementally improve while other people’s resources are scattered among a lot of good activities.

Be comfortable with the idea of trade-offs, where you sacrifice good goals with the one which you are naturally gifted and passionate about.

With cxperts, instead of asking, “What do I have to give up?” they ask, “What do I want to go big on?”- Greg McKeown

STEP 2

HELP OTHERS Helping others ensures your expertise will be known

No one became successful by himself. He needed other people along the different stages of his career to help him grow. So thank your parents and loved ones for the nurturing and most importantly, thank God who provi-

ded you all the abilities and people along the way to be the best in the world and give back by helping others.

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms - 1 Peter 4:10

discipline in his research of the best individuals in the world according to their line of work.

Champions are not made in the ring, they are merely recognized there. Champions are made in the obscurity of daily honing - John Maxwell
