“Once you can do something no one else can do – or
as few people as is possible – you can pretty well name your price. And believe
me it doesn’t have to be a particularly difficult skill, just one that somebody

You could train
to be a brain surgeon but it takes over ten years and aptitude and dedication

Who needs those skills? How could you put them to best use? How do you tell the
people who need these skills that you have them? What skill might you be able
to master in order to meet a need that’s out there waiting to be met?

is it. WAKE UP. GET ON WITH IT.
