Episode notes
Focus On Your Strength Zone
- Identify the skills you do well and invest time developing them instead of chasing unrelated abilities.
- Stay in your "strength zone" to turn a natural six or seven into an eight, nine, or ten.
Invest Where You Can Grow Most
- You can only improve a skill a few points beyond your natural aptitude, so prioritize strengths over weak desires.
- Developing existing gifts yields far greater returns than trying to become average at many things.
Run Your Own Race
- Quit comparing your path to others and run your own race with your unique skills and purpose.
- Compete against your inner voice, not other people's successes.
