You're World-Class, Do You Know That?

I've had a few coaching telephone calls over the last week...and, even though they were with completely different people from completely different backgrounds with completely different issues - there were some amazing similarities.

Well...perhaps I should say amazing similarities in terms of what the most effective 'solution' to their current 'problems' were.

The more I think and talk about this - the more I realize how simple self-improvement CAN be - if you let it.

Of course - change doesn't usually happen overnight - but it can certainly happen a lot more quickly if you look at these very important areas of your life:

What are YOU good at?

What do YOU find comes naturally to you?

What talent do YOU have that other people wish they had?

What particular skill do YOU find challenging to develop (in a good way)?

What can YOU do that, when you've finished, you wonder where the time has gone?

Now...

I'm not talking about how good you are DOING someTHING.

I'm also talking about how good you are BEING someONE.

For example, it is only now, some years later - that I have realized that I was a great motivator of people who worked for me.

This was a few years before I even thought about 'teaching' self-improvement - yet, this was obviously the seed of a talent that I undoubtedly had - yet, until the age of thirty-two never even thought existed.

That's why I always challenge people who say that they aren't particularly skilled at something to actually think about those things that they find easy to DO.

Quite often - the fact that you find something easy to do means that you obviously have a talent for it.

Don't always take this literally.

Just because you are a good manager doesn't mean that you will be a good motivational speaker. It might mean that you are excellent at co-ordinating people of different talents.

Just because you are organized with your paperwork at home, it doesn't mean that you must show other people how to be that way - you might just be the world's best personal assistant.

The key here is to TRY something...ANY-thing that remotely interests and challenges you at the same time.

The more you experiment will doing different things in your life (whether home- or work-related) - the more you will find out about what REALLY inspires you, and what you EXCEL at.

I firmly believe that YOU have a talent, whether measurable or not, that is WORLD-CLASS, that other people would envy.

It's down to you alone to find it.

So - what are you waiting for?
