And as Peter Drucker, the Father of Modern Management, used to say: “Most people think they know what they are good at. They are usually wrong. More often, people know what they are not good at — and even then, people are more often wrong than right.” The unfortunate thing is that most of us look for shortcuts to making money. So we buy the shiny objects, and the flashy courses, watch the latest “AI will make you money” videos. None of it works for us because we are not doing what we’re good at. When you do what you’re good at, making money comes easily. Everything you need to do is easier, and you love it. That’s where the “Do what you love” folk always get wrong. It should be “Do what you’re good at” and you’ll love it. So how do you determine what you’re good at? What do you do when you’re just playing around? I make stuff. Little programs to automate things, or make my life easier. GPTs, Claude Projects, plugins for WordPress, etc. I love doing that, and I’m getting better at making them work. That’s where this came from:- https://link.ckv.to/prompt-guide. I just finished another tool today that is still in Beta testing. I might make that available in a week or so. This is a change for me. I used to hustle with all sorts of things that didn’t work and I abandoned them fast. Wasted a lot of time for no benefit, except, nothing is wasted. Everything we do is a learning experience, if we let it. What I learned is to do what I like to do. I’m not setting goals with this, but I suspect that I’ll have at least one new thing a month, possibly more. If there’s something that you’d like to have to solve a problem, let me know. I might make it for you. Regards, |
