Morning Motivator - Talent

"Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent."
-Sophia Loren

Sometimes you look around at the people you see having great success and you may internalize saying "how did they get so far?  They aren't even really that good!"  First – stop saying that and start looking to that person for what they are doing right.  Second – consider the quote above…

How many people do you know that have laser focus and get whatever they want simply by the fact that they are relentless and persistent with their efforts (ie the use their BEST talents)?  I would be inclined to say that most "successful" people are not the most talented, rather they are the ones that maximize their talents best.  Why do I say that?  Because typically the naturally talented person thinks they can get by on talent alone (its called a "sense of entitlement".

Do this: Focus on you're your BEST talents, put the hard work in to back them up and help others utilize their best talents to support yours… you (and those around you) will find the success and rewards you seek!!

Have a great weekend… and use your talents for good… help someone you know move from "potential" to "powerful!"
