Zero Talent

Many people with little or no talent are quite successful. This is true in the sports world, industry, entertainment and especially our political scene. Now I am not saying talent is not hugely important, I’m saying not all people possess talent. Yet, many of these folks go on to have highly successful careers. And I know why!

The successful, low talent people tend do the following things:

  1. They show up on time
  2. They have a strong work ethic
  3. They work hard
  4. They often possess high energy
  5. They display a positive attitude
  6. They demonstrate passion toward the work
  7. They are coachable (very important)
  8. They always do a little more than required
  9. They are prepared

Make room on your team for some of these people!!
