The Role of Talent in Business Success

However, the truth is that rich people are not necessarily blessed - except for the few who inherit their wealth, all of them have thing in common - talent.

When it comes to business, there appear to be a select few people on this planet who are destined for amazing success, while the remainder of us dream, hope, or try to emulate their business success.

The fact is, however, that everybody has some natural talent, which aligns him or her with a sure type of business or entrepreneurship. I am not speaking about a talent for a specific type of art, or a gift for working with numbers - I am speaking about the complex mesh of persona traits that make you, you.

Using this type of talent to choose the way you ought to be running your business, & indeed, what business you ought to be in, is not a used idea - it is been around for millennia, & first started being used by the Chinese. Like plenty of ancient art forms, however, it's been abandoned, as society increasingly tries to fit everyone in to the same profile.

They are not all the same though, & the essential rule that governs your success starts with working together with your natural talents. It is the difference between finding, & settling in to your natural groove, where everything you do seems simple & right, & trying to follow the rules that society has set for business, & finding yourself swimming up stream.

Fundamentally, there's distinct talent profiles: the dynamo, who is great at getting things started, but struggles to follow through; the blaze, who is fascinated by people, & great at networking, but basically distracted; the tempo, whose natural niche is working in a team; the steel, who is born to devise, & follow, structured systems; & the spirit, who is chilled, calm & collected, no matter what.

Most of us, however, do not fall in to a single talent section. They merge elements of or more profiles, in to our own matchless wealth creation talent profile that they can use to generate wealth, or that can be a stumbling block as they struggle to conform to what conventional wisdom tells us they ought to be doing.

Understanding where your persona falls within that framework of natural talent allows you not only to find the business that is best for you, but also to select the means of turning it in to a reality that best serves your persona.

They have all been there. They are working for somebody else, & they know that they have a better way of doing things than the they are using. That is probably because they have created their own ideal method for getting things done, based on their natural talents. For them, that leads to business success, but to you, as an worker, which basically leads to frustration, because your talents are naturally different to your employers.

The same goes for business. because a specific business idea or formula works for person, that does not mean it will work for you. Unless you understand what your talents are, & generate a business that best serves those talents, you are going to be trying to fit the proverbial square peg in to a round hole. Which as all of us know is impossible.

For the would be entrepreneur, & the little business owner, understanding your talents is an epiphany. It is the moment that you realise that everything you have been doing up to now might have been done faster, simpler, & with much less work on your part. It lets you design a business, as well as a method, that makes wealth flow to you, in lieu of making you chase after it. That is what true success is. Being in a business that you love, & using your natural talents in the way they were supposed to be used.

That is the secret to business success right there. Discovering & activating your natural talents for business success & wealth. It is also the reason you fail. You are not working together with your talents, but against them. It is a continuing battle, & you are exhausted even before you start.

I am a firm think that knowing what your talents are, & how to best utilise them & combining them together with your passions, is step in business success. You will still must put in time, work, & funds to start your business, but in lieu of fighting a losing battle, you will have a clear path to success. So why not find out what your matchless business talent profile is, & start using it to succeed?

Understanding your matchless talent profile can also help you to find the best people to work & partner with. Some profiles work better with others, supporting & boosting each other's successes, while others naturally clash. Understanding the way you & your partner align from the outset can help you to choose your roles in your business, & the best way to move forward.
