Read this (+ previous posts) online Read time: 3 minutes Are you paralyzed at the starting line when starting a business? Thinking you don’t have anything valuable to offer? Read today’s secret carefully... The Secret“I have nothing special to offer.” This is one of the most damaging beliefs any aspiring entrepreneur can have. Our beliefs determine our actions and, therefore, our reality. So rather than explore your potential, you accept mediocrity, labels, and boxes — staying glued to the default path. (The consequences of that choice should be clear to you.) Or maybe you seek an “easy” button: trying to scratch that entrepreneurial itch and edge out of corporate life by solving your problems with money through the “right” passive income vehicle:
But what’s abundantly clear is that you are NOT happy. Plugging into someone else’s system (yet again) will never fix that void. Now, back to you having something “special” to offer. Hear this:
Collectively, that’s your GENIUS. Inherently special. No one has your profile. You are “1 of 1.” That’s impossible to deny. There are people out there (individuals or organizations) desperate for your help right now. You might look at your (very corporate) resume or LinkedIn profile and judge your potential based on that. But believe me, that is a ridiculously myopic view. Though I get why you do that — your brain can only want what it’s seen before. You’ve only been around corporate people and systems, not entrepreneurs. I say this with love, but so far, you’ve only been a cog. You haven’t learned to make something out of nothing. You haven’t seen people take raw material from their lives, package it into their genius, and deliver it as a unique business. The trick is to see beyond a “boring” corporate past. You must go through a process to uncover your genius and unleash it as a valuable online business. Here’s what some of my clients have created:
Their businesses are founded on a unique personal category. And the real key to all of this? Energy. Unlike corporate, these people are energized by work that they designed. These legends jump out of their beds on Monday mornings because they’re so excited to do the work. It’s uniquely valuable to their Magnetic Match (the people they aim to serve). Beyond the lucrative potential, it’s purposeful. And that purpose is the fuel for their business success. Everyone they come in contact with feels their passion, which creates trust and magnetism. Can you see how valuable that could be? Do you see how wildly different this is than just plugging into someone else’s gym franchise and following their rules? This is YOUR business. This is YOUR future. So you’ve got two options: 1) Keep arguing for your limitations You can maintain the story of “I have nothing special to offer.” You can keep suffering through this current path, blaming your circumstances and attempting boring, long-term moves for freedom with passive income. …or… 2) Choose your genius You can enter an environment (and process) that creates extreme discomfort and forces you to see just how special you are. You can unearth your unique genius and channel it for people in need — as part of a business. In turn, you rapidly build freedom, impact lives, and inspire your family. What’ll it be?
