5 Ways To Identify Your Strengths
The sweet spot in business is earning enough money (whatever that may be for you) doing the THING you love and are good at. Take a moment to write these ideas down. These are the things that you need to build your business around and focus your time on. Because when you are in a state of flow and loving what you do, it won’t even feel like work!
➡️ What comes naturally to you? These are area's of natural talent maybe you have always been great with numbers, or have been able to beautifully before you could even talk. We all have things we're just naturally gifted in and these are a great place to start when identifying your strengths.
➡️ What do you get lost in, and forget time when you’re doing it? The tasks or activities you can spend hours doing and not even realise are often area's of strength. The mere fact you can do it for eternity without breaking a sweat or getting frustrated speaks volumes.
➡️ What did you play around doing when you were younger that you really loved? Were you creative did you love art or maybe your work won awards in school? I get it - over the years life has got in the way and you've taken a different path. But do you still get a spark of joy when you tap back into that childhood passion? If you do I'd encourage you to lean into it, you may be a bit rusty to begin with but persevere and it could lead on an exhilarating adventure.
➡️ What do you offer to do for others that they can't be bothered with?
Maybe sorting storage out, cooking a fancy meal, or finding the perfect hotel for a city-break. You'd be surprised how many people will be after your services and are willing to outsource.
➡️ What do you do as a hobby or for fun that others would consider of value, difficult, or hard work? Think illustration, DIY, writing, editing photos, selling on Ebay… the options are endless.
Don’t underestimate how much people are willing to pay for your skills either – there’s someone who is willing to pay for your skills.
