In my last post I cover several most important Leverage Points and how to take advantage of them. If you don’t read my previous article, please click on Information Age or How To Avoid The Biggest Mistake Most People Make and read it.
One of the leverage points is importance to know your strengths, or to me more precise, your talents so you can gain advantage of them.
What the key to have fulfilled, happy and worry free living? It is knowing what your are good at (your natural talents) and being able to take advantage of this by matching those knowledge with choosing your business, life partner, friends, team members…. Choices are limitless.
But the first step is to know what you really good at.
Do you know your talents?
You would be surprised on how many people wouldn’t be able to answer this question.
According to Gallup study, after surveying 10 millions of people they find out that 7 million oft them don’t have an opportunity to focus on what they do best. They stating that people who are not playing to their strengths 6 times less likely to be engaged on their job. Those people are completely different people when they not playing to their strength.
This is pretty scary. You are probably heard that in US more people dying on Monday mornings around 8- 9 Am then in any other time. Job unsatisfaction is really a big issue. Why do you thinks this happening? It is simply because most people are in the wrong place and doing things they shouldn’t be doing in a first place.

As you may be aware we are living in time of crisis right now. At least we been told we are. Almost Everyone talk about it. Even if you like me and don’t watch a TV, you probably hear word crisis everywhere you go. People complaining about loosing their jobs, lack of security, job cuts, low income potential, economy suck and on and on and on…
Does everything that bad for real or there is someone who thriving in those times and shoveling even more money, having even more opportunities available then ever before?
If you look in world of Internet, it seems like there are so much different opportunities available, it is ridiculous. You do not even have to have your own business, product or service. You can promote others people products, do various projects for others.
Multiple opportunities become available all the time and number is growing each day. More and more people start to realize that job security is simply a joke. It is just do not exist anymore. More and more people thinking about going in business for themselves so they don’t have to depend on someone for their income.
If there are so many opportunities available then why so many of us struggling to meet the end needs and a lot of us afraid to even start a business in one form or another?
According to Michael E. Gerber in his famous book “E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It” he stated that 40% of business failed in a first year, and from those that remained 80% failed in the next 5 years. He discusses the several key reasons why it is happening and what you can do to avoid it.
The basic ideas of this brilliant book is that you should spend more time working on your business instead of working in your business.
