Adulthood: Revisited
Episode 29: Level Up Your Life By Taking Inventory of Your Unconscious Competencies
May 26, 2020
Hi, A:R Nation, what's the good word? If you search trending keywords right now, you'll see terms such as "work from home," "start a business," and "career pivot." I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to bet on themselves, including if that means starting their own business. What I've learned, though, from my time running a law practice that has, to some extent, burned me out, is that moving forward, I will only use my time, energy and resources on things that flow naturally for me, and that I take enjoyment in. In other words, I want to do things that I am naturally skilled at. I recently heard someone (I think it was Russell Brunson) use the term 'unconscious competencies.' This refers to those skills and activities that approach habits for us. The thing is, we may think that we're good at something, when we may not be. What I encourage is to ask the people in your life, family and friends, to identify skills and activities that you are especially good at - things that others ask you for help with. This list probably identifies your unconscious competencies. If you start thinking about building a new business, or managing your business, around these skillsets, I'm willing to bet that we'll see dramatic improvements in every aspect of our lives. Make each day better, and make each day count. This is the Adulthood: Revisited Podcast.
