Most of You Are Sitting on Skills and Talents That Can Transform Your Life

Unlock your hidden potential to get an unfair advantage in life.

 
Wasted talent gets me fired up.

I spend so much time interacting with people online. After a while all their problems start to look the same.

The biggest problem I see is the average person doesn’t think they have skills or talent that are unique or in demand.

And they think they can only sell their skills to one customer (their employer).

The hidden source of potential

If you currently earn an income the market has already validated you have talent and skills with value. Congrats. 99% of you reading this are in this category.

I say it so often but let me repeat…

Your 9-5 job skills are what can transform your life. You don’t necessarily need to go and acquire new skills or become a cringeworthy “digital native.”

Nope. You just have to think more broadly about where else your skills can be used.

 
Repackage your skills

When you package your skills up with a 9-5 job title they’re worth less.

Few understand.

There’s something about labels that make money flow. The labels of consulting, contracting, and advising attract the most money.

If you work in a call center (like I did) you can be seen as low on the food chain. As soon as you start selling those same skills to another call center as an advisor the paycheck goes up 3X.
