Is raw talent holding you back?

Early in my career I noticed something troubling.

I was inconsistent.

Running out of excuses to make and people to blame, I had a realization.

It was me.

I was good enough, to be good enough, and that wasn’t good enough.

Up to that point I was relying on raw talent.

Over time, raw talent, like raw meat, goes rancid.

To be a professional, I had to prepare like one.

It required hard work, self-reflection, and courageous questions.

The world has plenty of amateurs.

Break through your barrier of raw talent. Allow the pro in you to express itself.

In what area of your life do you want to up your game?

Whether it’s in your profession, your passion, your relationships, or your community…

Call it out. Let it out. Work it out.
