The Thinking Behind The Tweet
I have talked with many successful entrepreneurs who possess this innate talent. Many of these talented entrepreneurs work in our Waterloo area. This innate 'focus-talent' provides them the ability to see problems & opportunities before others see them.
Because of their innate Focus BrainSmart, it is accurate to say these entrepreneurs see things that are invisible to most people.
They see problems before others see them. Sometimes this is interpreted as pessimism. It isn't pessimism. It's better-than-most vision.
These entrepreneurs also see opportunities before others see them. Sometimes this is seen as maverick. If it is maverick then maverick is a really good thing because it opens the doors for innovation and insight...and injection of value for clients.
When this valuable talent is not recognized by employers...well, that's a common cause of successful entrepreneurial start-ups.

People struggle when they lack required talents, they lack opportunity to use their talents, they lack the knowledge required to do the task, or they lack experience.
Create a Strengths plan - Learn people's strengths - Engage people's strengths.

1. Failure isn't caused by lack of talent, it's caused by discouraged thoughts and words.
2. Practice makes perfect.
3. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
4. Strength = Natural Talent + Opportunity to perform + Focused Knowledge + Skill through practice.
