Why your talent alone is never enough to be successful.
There are talented people everywhere.
There is talent in the richest neighborhoods.
And in dirty tent villages.
There is talent in the best schools.
And in maximum security prisons.
Don’t ask me how I know…
Talent is not a rare gem.
It is as common as stone. Just ask Cold Steve Austin.
The great rarity is the will to invest time and energy to develop your talent.
The will to work, sacrifice, and stay the course over a prolonged period makes all the difference. It transforms your talent into valuable skills and desired results. It is that investment that separates the masses from the wildly successful.
Key Takeaway
Everyone has talent. It is what you are willing to invest to develop your talent that makes all the difference.
