Why one skill can be little
It is believed that success in his career to be a master in something one. In our society, admired by winners and celebrate them. We set ourselves up as an example of billionaires champions and gold medalists. Of course, they have a lot to learn. But at the same time their stories to try to discourage. Let's be honest: not everyone wants to spend 10 or 20 thousand hours, to achieve mastery in something one. After all, except that, in life there are other values ββin life: family, friends, hobbies, health.
therefore book about genius and outsider can inspire, but from a practical point of view, as described in these tips are useless. Not because the casual reader will not be able to use them, but because they do not want.
We need more realistic approach. In the words of Bob Dylan, a person is successful if he gets up in the morning, the evening falls, and in between does what he wants. Based on this definition, we need two things: a stable career and a sufficient income.
To become successful, not necessarily to become the best specialist in the world, or billionaire. You just need a set of skills.
As the list of skills affects the success of
I have worked since I was 17 and tried his hand in various fields. Studied business and marketing, and in 2010 he opened his first business. Over the years I have gained a lot of skills. As now it looks like my own list:
- Productivity and time management;
- Conviction;
- Web design;
- Writing skills;
- accounts management;
- Drawing;
- Project management;
- Marketing;
- Public performance;
- Teaching.
I am not a master in any of these areas. For example, I draw pretty bad, moderately versed in web design and marketing skills to know well enough productivity and writing texts. But when I put it all together and started the your blog, it is proved to be successful.
I realized what the reason, when I read "the theory of luck"Scott Adams. He calls this concept "stacking talents," but I do not like the word "talent", because it implies an innate quality. I prefer the "skill".
Scott Adams, writer, author of Dilbert comicsTo succeed is more important than a good command of two complementary skills than excellent - some one.
Each acquired skill doubled improves your chances. According to Adams, a unique talent and a maniacal obsession with skill development - just one approach to achieving success, the most difficult. When it comes to skills, quality is more important than quantity.
If you have learned to do only one thing, your options are limited. If you have a lot of qualifications, your value increases. A career success comes down to it.
What skills will make you more valuable
It is literally the million. The more skills you have, the more useful you can create. So, the greater the reward will get. Throughout career typed sum is clearly more than a million.
Spend a thought experiment. Imagine that you own a business and you need to hire one who will lead them. What person would you hire? Write down what qualities and skills he should be. And then become that person, developing their confidence.
Here are a few examples that will be useful to everyone:
- Productivity. If you know how to deal with things, you will always find a way out. you will be able to learn anything from a high level of productivity, and it will help to develop the rest.
- Writing skills. The ability to articulate their thoughts into words makes it easier to work in any field. Try write simply and clearly.
- Psychology. A basic understanding of human behavior will help you understand yourself and others. Not necessarily to become a psychotherapist. To communicate better with people, quite the foundations of this science.
- Conviction. This ability to speak so as to cause a response. This ability to improve management skills, sales, negotiation, public speaking, and everything that is connected with the influence on people.
- Financial management. We seldom think about spending and saving, and only approaching retirement, we begin to regret not started to monitor the finances before. Do not delay and join in it right now.
