Are You Underestimating What You Bring To The Table?

Never underestimate what you bring to the table.  Years ago, I had no idea what this meant but now I understand about 60% of what this means.

Years ago, I was minding my own business working and living life and an entrepreneur called me with a serious problem.  He was trying to expand a $2.4 million business but needed investment capital to make it work.  I was 25 had very little money, a lot of hustle and a mind for accounting and finance.  I offered my assistance for FREE, worked my full-time job during the day and crazy hours at night.  After weeks of reversing engineering the entrepreneur’s business model I built a full financial statement package with a key proposal. Long story short within a month that financial package and proposal was the key selling point that secured a meeting for the entrepreneur to fly to New York City because a major company wanted to buy the business for $10 million. This very big deal was the humble beginning that gave me the confidence to start the TLTurner Group.

I tell you this story because many of you are like I was unaware of how valuable your skills are.  It doesn’t matter what your skill is there are people out there that have problems that you can solve.

Here are a few helpful tips to help others find out how valuable your skills are:

  1. Offer your service for free and record their feedback

  2. Check out sites like Upwork.com

  3. Write a helpful article that shows off your skills

  4. Network and interview other successful people with your skill set
