As I upload this episode, I am having a challenging day. There are some deadlines coming up. Technology is not cooperating. I'm having trouble focusing. It would be easy to fall into the trap of self pity and lament. I could say "why is this happening now?!" Instead, I am focusing on the target and pushing through the obstacles. Is it frustrating? Of course it is, but it is much less so when I focus on where I'm going and not what's trying to stop me. And guess what? When I look back on what obstacles I worked through this morning, I can't even really remember what they were. All I know is that I got it done. That's the lesson today. Push through. What is your adversity teaching you?

Recently someone asked me "if you could go back in time and change something, what would you change?" My answer was that I would change nothing. Everything in my past led me to the place I am today. There are aspects that I would rather not have gone through. There are things that I would recommend to do otherwise to someone going through the same thing. There are things I lost that I wish I still had. But I would not change anything, because to change anything would be to change everything, and I am precisely where I am meant to be.

I recently heard it suggested that the key to success is to find the seeds of your greatest strength with your greatest weakness. What is my greatest weakness? It is a lack of focus. Impatience. Restlessness. I can't get an ordinary job and do the same thing day after day. I don't like to choose just one thing. (The greatest salesmanship I ever saw was Amy convincing me to choose just one woman.) Even when I have had a job, I always had a project or two or three on the side. Because of this, I was never focused, never satisfied, and never really able to move ahead any career or field. It impacted my current business as well. I could not settle on a target market or focus for quite a while. Certainly a weakness which has had a great cost. I this weakness, we see the seeds of my strength. My restlessness and curiosity have led me to do a little bit of everything, and learn even more. I have at least a passing knowledge of everything from real estate to quantum physics to medieval history. My restlessness has also led me to meet and connect with people around the world in many walks of life. I will speak with people too poor to own a car and people who made more money last month than I made in my whole life, both in the same day. The first step to solving a problem is knowing what direction to find the answer in, and for almost any problem that anyone can have, my unfocused wanderings have led to enough familiarity to at least know what to look for. Recently, a friend was looking for a particular legal solution, and had no idea what the first step was. I was able to tell them what profession would be able to help them and where to find them. In business, it is even more so. While I am not qualified to solve many business challenges on my own, my broad experience and broad connections mean that I have a direction to point for the solution to any problem that comes before me. I never would have built the network of connections that I have if I had the focus that most people have. What was once referred to as being "all over the place" is the same trait which has allowed me to become The Guy Who Knows A Guy. Ask yourself, 'what is my greatest weakness?' Then look for the seeds of your greatest strength within it. When you find that, you will have your superpower.

As a coach, much of my job is to help people uncover truths that they already know, and this has been very much the case for me recently. For some reason, I got it into my head that I should not present myself as a networking coach, so I tried to be a business coach or a mindset coach or something. Finally, I had the blinding flash of the obvious that networking is what I do, what I am, and what I teach. It's time for it to be what I offer. In this episode, I review my entire journey of the past year, and what I have learned in that time which can be of great value to those I work with.Mentioned in this episode:New book: The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and GratitudeGet your copy of Michael's new book at... https://amzn.to/4a6w0tu
