When I was a little girl, my grandparents used to constantlydrill it into me that “Nobody's good at everything; everybody's good atsomething”. Sure I found it hard to believe…in fact I thought they were justtrying to make me feel better!
From the ripe old age of 10, I started writing—sending in mypieces to local newspapers and I was completely obsessed with slogan-writingcompetitions. While I managed to score loads of moolah and prizes during myquests, I never actually thought I was good at it.
Eventually, over the years Irealised that “Hey, not everyone can write, get published and win tons ofgoodies! Aah…so this is my talent, eh”. I guess it wouldn’t come as a surprisethat I am now Content Editor at JobsDB Malaysia and lovin’ every minute ofwhat I do!
As The Toilet Paper Entrepreneurput it: “Everyone has a talent. EVERYONE. So maybe yours is blowingmilk out your nose... it's still a talent. And most talents can bemonetized. The key is to find your talent and then turn it into ascalable business. Too bad many folks get stuck on the "finding thetalent" part.” Believe or not, Mike Michalowicz is right!
Best-selling author and broadcaster Patrick Lindsay offers apiece of advice, “Some know it from childhood. Some never find it. But we allhave special talents. Take the time to explore yours. It may be disguised. Itmay be undeveloped. But trust your instincts. Give yourself the opportunity. Itwill be there.”
