Turning your Talent into Wealth

There are no two persons that are exactly alike in their natural endowment. Even identical twins that grew from the same genetic pool have marked differences that establish them as separate individuals. The implication of this is that everyone is a store house of talent.

And talent simply put means the ability to do something in a unique or exceptional way. Unfortunately, many do not know there particular abilities and those who do don’t know how to harness their potential for pecuniary benefits.

Experts, however agrees there are some principles on the issue of turning one’s talent into money that work for all and may be learnt by anybody. It is amazing how little people generally know of themselves. Have you ever heard someone say, “Imagine I never knew I could do that” that person is merely re-echoing his ignorance about his own mind. A person begins to learn about himself from the age of self-consciousness. For this reason the first step to personal success is to “comprehend yourself”, you have to embark on a voyage of self-discovery. Self-discovery is central to this chapter; I can’t over emphasis it importance.

Having said all that, the development of identified talent is the next step to personal fortune. There is hardly any person that is not aware of one or more things they are good at, most time those potentials where only neglected and left undeveloped. Just as crude oil lying thousands of feet below the surface of the earth generates no national income to the owner nation so does an undeveloped talent.

Developing one’s talent or potential in this regard means bringing them to a standard above the average competence. Most bird can fly but not all can soar! You must determine to function above average before your potential can attract economic value. Developing your talent also involve the ability to withstand criticism against a particular venture. E.g. there was a time in this part of the world when it was believed that music as a profession was for social misfits, when buffoons (who we now know as comedians) where scorned, when playing football was frowned at by parents, but today reverse is the case.
