Position Yourself as an Expert

We used to think, "unless you have a degree, and academics to back up your knowledge, you're not an expert!" Thank God that's dying, and people are starting to realize what Henry Ford and Napoleon Hill talked about years ago: Obtain specialized knowledge.

The truth is, from my model of the world, I think everyone is an expert, but not everyone gives themselves enough credit in this area. If you become a disciplined hunter of knowledge and patterns of genius, you can literally learn anything, from anyone. Me for example, I went out and started studying books about brain science and within a month of reading two books, I started writing on the internet about what I was learning. Not too many people can talk about the brain and how using it in a high performance way can result in great outcomes in life. So, in that area, especially because I apply what I read, and create workable executable strategies, I'm considered an expert.

All of you are exactly that, experts. Just reading some of your posts, I see experts in everyone here! Now, in the new world, in 2010 moving into 2011, experts just seek specialized knowledge, apply it in the world, learn massively and position themselves as experts. This is part of what I call "The New Smart Person." Thanks for reading!
