Have you ever had the thought that you\u2019re not good enough? Or that other people deserve more?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to guess that the answer is YES.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been all through that myself \u2013 and to be honest, I\u2019ll bet you that I\u2019m going to have those feelings again sometime in the future.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What I do know for sure is that you have unique knowledge and capabilities that no one else has. You\u2019ve done stuff and experienced stuff that I haven\u2019t.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Whether that stuff was good or bad isn\u2019t what counts. That\u2019s the stuff that gives you AN EDGE.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Not Using Your Edge<\/h2>\n

So let\u2019s say you find yourself in need of earning more money. That\u2019s most of us, right? Let\u2019s say you\u2019re out of a job.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well, anybody can get a job at Walmart. Pretty much anybody. If you can put fog on a mirror, you\u2019re qualified.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Which means you won\u2019t get paid much, right?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So How Do You Use Your Edge?<\/h2>\n

Ask yourself this:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What do you know that most other people don\u2019t know?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Who do you know that most other people don\u2019t know?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What can you do that most other people can\u2019t do?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It might be something really stupid \u2013 like creating the world\u2019s biggest bubble gum bubble.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So that\u2019s probably not a big paying gig right there.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But let\u2019s look at that \u2013<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If that\u2019s your talent, you can\u2019t go too far on that \u2013 UNLESS you teach other people how to blow bubbles as big or bigger than you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s a start\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What if you entertain people in the process, do YouTube videos, and attract people to your bubble gum blowing contest video challenge, then you\u2019ll get lots of online friends and possibly become famous in the process?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now we\u2019re talking\u2026<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then you turn it into a business with t-shirts and lessons and bubble blowing \u00a0challenge events all around the country sponsored by big companies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sure \u2013 it may seem preposterous. But that\u2019s the kind of thing I\u2019m talking about.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Meet Jim Stovall<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s a guy named Jim Stovall who wrote a book called the Millionaire Map<\/strong><\/em>. He\u2019s blind \u2013 so he\u2019s dealing with an issue that probably makes life more difficult than what you or I deal with.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He says he gets a LOT of money to speak to audiences about overcoming challenges and being successful. In fact, his hourly rate to speak at big conventions and auditoriums is pretty darn high. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But if he spent his time helping people to their seats, operating the lights, or taking tickets, his hourly rate at the very same event would be a LOT less. In fact, he says, he\u2019d probably get fired, because he can\u2019t do those things the same way a seeing person can.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So what if you stopped relying on simply copying others and doing what they do\u2013 because they\u2019re already doing it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What if you didn\u2019t just copy \u2013 but learned \u2013 and then imitated what others do?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2026.But then made it your own and did it your way using your own unique style, talent and energy?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Who would have thought a blind guy could bring in that kind of money and attention?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If he can do that, couldn\u2019t you?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
