What do you find easy that others struggle with?
This little bit of introspection can change the course of your life. But it’s hard to do.
Because we live in our bubbles, we assume that everyone else has similar experiences to us.
Some people love to write. Some people are naturally gregarious. Some people are passionate about cooking. To them these skills are easy and if they are easy then they probably can’t be worth much.
But to others, the ability to write great copy, naturally network in any environment and be able to whip up a delicious meal seem almost magical.
And magic is where the money is.
What is easy for you, that when packaged right, could be extremely valuable to others?

Head of Client Service
1 周Thought-provoking! It’s interesting how our own skills can feel so “normal” that we forget their value. I think it’s a common struggle—when something comes naturally, it’s easy to downplay it. Has anyone here realized the value of something they once took for granted? Or maybe even built a business around a skill they didn’t initially consider valuable? Would love to hear some stories!
