Howto 6 – List of Strengths & Talents You May Have
Here is a list of possible strengths & talents which could be on your list.
I hate to throw a long list out here ... (long lists can seem daunting) but sometimes we get stuck and just need a nudge. Maybe a menu can solidify the confidence?
Before you read a book, attend a class, sign up for a membership, attend a university....
Know the big picture and what you will need to learn.
Understand the topics and as Stephen Covey says: Begin with the end in mind.
Below is a list of skills that just might be on yours.

There is no shame if you can only sing, dance and juggle!
You are unique and special no matter what skills you have. (I guarantee it!)
I have helped people become successful with very little money and skill. Their ability to recognize what unique skills & talents they possessed helped them to overcome barriers and become a success. Perseverance, prioritizing and focus were the determining factors.
Put the list in order from your strongest skill at the top to weakest on the bottom and get ready for the next step.
If you feel you are advanced beyond this point.... here are reminders:
- You need to connect with people. Building a list, Twitter, Facebook, meetups (such as Biznik).
- Once you have a list and invite them to visit your website, be sure to have a landing page with a form to improve your conversions.
To show how YOUR talent may have more value than you think, and could turn into something cool.... here is a video:
(If you do magic or juggle .... or even knit! Everything counts!)
