Ever stink at doing your job, but it revealed your superpower?

It's funny how we can succeed by recognizing what we're not good at. It seems like it takes trying something out to learn what our true talents and interests are. What job were you doing when you discovered your best skills? #1stJobCurrentJob

I've been flat told by the CTO that one of the reasons I was top of their list to hire was that I flat told them.. I will not be a manager, I don't want to do it, I suck at it, and it's better for everyone involved if I don't do it. I just want to be a worker bee...

That was a good video. Even though I once took a vocational electronics class in high school, I am not really into car stereos. Yet, when it comes to computers I can build computers, install software, and hardware as well.

Virtual Assistant at Your Executive Apprentice

Hi Paul, great post & thanks for sharing the video! It sounds crazy, but I found my true calling a few years ago when I started losing interest in sales & just loved speaking with my customers & doing follow up calls. It was then that I realized that I cared more about how my customer was doing as a person & how they were getting proper support than making the sales. I quit my sales position & found a job as a virtual assistant & never looked back!!

Commercial Driver

@Paul Baker I started having interest in Real Estate in November of last year and I attended webinars, seminars, YouTube and joined a Real Estate club. After going down my rabbit hole, I formed my LLC in February and I’m all set up. I’ve been sending a few multi-family properties I found to investors for a finders fee because I don’t deal with multi-family yet. But some of these properties are multi-million dollar deals and one day an experienced investor asked me how I’m finding these properties. I didn’t reveal how I’m finding them, but it dawned on me I’m really good at it and I feel I’ve been doing this for decades. The information I receive I completely understand it the first time and I immediately start applying it. All this began because I was looking at manufactured homes to rent out for passive income and stumbled across some information. I became obsessed with this new venture and this is something I never thought I would be doing. I’ve done a lot of different things that range from entry level, management, commercial driving, entrepreneurship and I feel this is truly my best skill that’s going to provide me with financial freedom.

Yes, I've never been really knowledgeable about gamma radiation, but once the bomb test went off, I've been turning into the Incredible Hulk ever since!
