Five Key Questions To Simplify Finding Your Genius Talent
Published in Forbes.com June 17, 2020
Having developed a trademarked methodology for finding your "genius talent," it seemed a good idea to share the five most frequently asked questions to 1) help you find yours and 2) prevent you from wasting time and effort on actions that will not help.
If you're game, let's spin the big wheel. Big prizes for answering questions correctly.
Question 1: What exactly is genius talent?
It's a great place to start. We consider that your genius talent is a part of your DNA. We do not attempt to prove that, but if it were a theory to work with, that means you have the only version of a singular gift of unique talent in the entire history of mankind.
There exists three parts: 1) the gift of genius-level talent (from God or a genetic lottery); 2) a step-by-step process for delivering your talent that you created intuitively throughout your life; and 3) your why, that acts as rocket fuel for your talent.
You get no say in the gift of talent. You got what you got, and I got what I got.
You have intuitively figured out the delivery system for your talent, even if you cannot say exactly what your gift is just yet. In short, that part is 100% your own doing.
Your why is a simple, powerful belief statement that connects directly to the reason why you were gifted the talent you got.
Put the three together, and they sound like this example from a client in Phoenix:
"My genius talent is creating relationships that feel like family." Rare, but not unique.
"I do this by first making people feel incredibly safe, by intuitively figuring out exactly what they need, and then by delivering them wisdom and care." No one taught this person this system. He figured it out by his successes, failures and life experiences.
"I do this because I believe the world is a much better place when people serve others." Notice how the why connects naturally and powerfully to the gift of "creating relationships that feel like family"?
