We can create new possibilities for ourselves at any time in our lives. It takes a growth mindset. And persistent action.
No one else has your unique combination of personal, life, working, business and professional experience – you have a unique value. Many of us don’t see it, don’t recognize it or don’t believe it.
But you have it.
Two questions you can ask yourself to help you identify this unique value
- What problems have you become good at solving in organizations?
- What is that thing you do that drives your passion, gives you so much reward, that you would almost do for free?
Write the answers to these two questions down. The combination of these answers will be revealing to you.
What amazing things will you do in the world, leveraging your unique value?
