Now that you’ve identified WHY you are driven in life, let’s talk about the WHAT—your unique genius or core competency.
The best way to fortune, high achievement, accolades, greatness and sincere contentment in life is not through pursuing those very things.
No. Therefore who pursue and are driven by those things as their WHY often fail and never attain them.
Success in life and in business follows those who do what they are best at doing, what they want to do and what they do with passion. Period.
The biggest mistake people make in life is not trying to make a living at doing what they most enjoy
“Starting out to make money is the greatest mistake in life. Do what you feel you have a flair for doing, and if you are good enough at it, the money will come.”
Greer Garson
It’s so critical to decide and find out what you really, really love to do, and what you’re also really good at—then delegate everything else.
Complete delegation. You assign, train and set standards for tasks—and then let it go.
Focus on your core competencies and what you get passionate about—and nothing more.
Successful entrepreneurs get other people to pay them to practice getting better at what they love to do.
Steven Spielberg loves to make movies. People pay him big money to make movies.
Every time he works on a film, he learns more about directing, producing and filmmaking.
He gets to practice and hang out with other filmmakers, all while getting paid for it.
Elon Musk is one of the greatest visionaries and entrepreneurs of our generation, changing entire industries and the way we look at the world.
He’s not driven by money. He’s driven to change the world and leave a mark.
A billionaire many times over as a result of getting paid for his passion.
Therefore, whatever it is for you, make sure you are doing what you are best at in life.
Find what you truly enjoy doing. Do your true passion.
Find what keeps you up at night as you think about it.
What moves you to greatness?
What keeps the itch and urge to succeed alive and healthy?
When you find this, embrace it with everything you have and give it 150%—and then never look back.
All of the rest will fall into place, mark my words.
Let’s GO!
