Discover Your Genius

In order to gain the maximum potential from my life, I have been paying close attention to my feelings and energy as well as my preferences.

We each have one special gift or ability. This ability or talent is something we do better than any one else. In some circles, this is called our genius. I know most of you think of genius as Einstein genius or Mozart genius. Instead celebrate the special gifts you possess.

Don’t know how to find your genius? Pay attention to how you feel when you are going about your day to day activities. What are you doing when you feel the most fulfilled? When do you feel the happiest? What are you doing when time just flies by and disappears? When an athlete is “in the zone” or when an artist is so focused that they do not see anything happening around them, they are ”in their genius.” What are you doing and feeling when you feel empowered and productive and blissful?

Now also pay attention to the activities or events which seem to drag on. What activities or events seem to drain the energy out of you? When do you have that itch to get up and go do something else – anything else? Those are absolutely “non-genius” activities.

Refine it a little further. What activities or events are you engaging in when you feel not only energized and happy but also productive? What combination brings you fulfillment as well as being income producing? This is where you concentrate your focus and time.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can delegate today. Seriously, the best business decision is to focus your time and energy in your genius and delegate the other tasks to someone else who has a genius in those other areas. Most people spend far too much time in low production areas and not enough time focusing on what they do best. Yes, everything must be done, but if you spend your time doing what you do best and delegate the other tasks to someone else who loves to do those other things, everyone profits emotionally and financially.
