You were born with a special talent. It may be to sing, write, teach, paint, mentor, preach, defend or befriend. You have something special to offer the world, some­thing you can do better than 10,000 others. You must keep learning and trying new things to find your special talent. The world needs your gift. Be aware that even a special talent can go stale if you don’t keep using and honing it. Endeavor to keep your talents and all your skills up to date.

An advantage isn’t an advantage unless you use it. Find ways to use your advantages to set and reach your goals. Likewise, you should recognize and then try to minimize the impact of your limitations. Remember that not all advantages are transferable. Just because you are talented in one area doesn’t mean that you will be tal­ented at everything you try. The successful real estate investor can easily lose her money opening a restaurant. Stick to your advantages and don’t stray from them with­out reasoned justification.

There is something special about you that makes you one in ten thousand. You have a special talent which, if used, will better mankind. The vast majority of people never find the time or have the resources to identify and develop their special talent. This is sad.

This does not have to be you.

In the corporate world, you are going to rise quickly to the top twenty percent of your profession. You will know what your leaders do and how much they earn. It will be your goal to join this elite group. With your work ethic and core values, your entry is almost guaranteed. If you own your own business, you are even better positioned to define your own financial future.

You will have the time and the resources necessary to find and develop your special talent.
