If you think, being Talented will really make you successful, then, you’re absolutely wrong.How Talented is Being Overrated?Most of the people think that you need to be Extremely Talented in order to become successful. Inorder to achieve something, in order to get something you need to kind of that “Special talent” which isway, way, way better than every other person, who is maybe a competitor, or maybe someone whosurrounds you in the circle where you want the opportunity.Isn’t that what we’re hearing since, a very very long time?

And there is one more person who is not as talented as me, but hepractices every day, he is disciplined to improve every day, is disciplined to wake up at the right time,come on the job at the right time, speak for you, prepare for you, do every god-damn thing for you.And whereas I am Talented; the moment You call me, I am making Excuses, or trying to Procrastinate, orsaying just, “I am just Sleepy today”, I tried to avoid your calls & deliver your content or speech, maybetwo days later, three days or 7 days after the deadline.Who will You Hire, The Average Speaker or The Talent Speaker?

Is formal education still the best way to learn new skills? In this episode of Figuring Out, I am going to break some myths around education and give you my most honest experience with formal education.

Want to make yourself "able" enough to cut through the competition? Here are 5 skills that have helped me chase my dreams:1. Ability to sell.If you are not selling, you are not growing. At the end of the day, no matter what you do, whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, or a doctor, you NEED to sell something to someone.2. Ability to learn.At every point in your life, you need to have this itch learn something new because unless you’re learning, growing, and upgrading yourself, you won’t be able to achieve the maximum potential.3. Ability to manage money.Educate yourself on how you can have your money make more money by investing money wisely. While money cannot buy happiness, it can surely allow you to fulfil your dreams.4. Ability to communicate.At this moment where everything is happening virtually, you need to become a communicator. Communication skills will help you to deliver your thoughts and ideas clearly and effectively.5. Ability to think strategically.With so many options around us, it's important that you learn how to make conscious and efficient choices. Strategic thinking skills will help you "think" better.If you found this even a bit valuable, please leave me positive comments and share it with as many people as you can and I promise to bring value for you every day.
