Morning Motivator - Being Consciously Incompetent

"Yes, I am aware that there are things I don't know. I have chosen to be like that."
- Joe White, President, NovaCopy Nashville

I promised Joe I'd put him in the Morning Motivator after a very EXCITING discussion yesterday.

We discussed being MASTERFUL of what you KNOW, while being CONSCIOULY INCOMPETENT of that you are not skilled at. Being an EXPERT in a niche capacity and allowing others the OPPORTUNITY to be experts in their space.

We AGREED that an ADVANTAGE is gained by "knowing what you don't know" and "accepting" that you never will (nor should you).

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
One could say that SUCCESS is portrayed by AWARENESS of "knowing what you don't know."

If true, then FAILURE would be "not knowing what you don't know." Joe called "unconscious incompetence," and went one step further to say the WORST is thinking you know it, when you really don't!

Are you AWARE of what you DON'T KNOW... or do you THINK you know it (unconsciously incompetent)? Your SUCCESS may rely on your ability to answer this question...

Cheers,
Zach
