Everyone is good at something. Sometimes great.
Especially you.
You read that right.
Actually, especially all of us.
It kind of swims along the lines of, when you work at what you love, you never work another day in your life.
We certainly understand.
Many people have read that, but we’re not sure that they understand the power of that.
Case in point.
At Femcompetitor Magazine we love providing you with real life examples to make a point.
One of our associates, who we will call Kern, lives in a gated condo community where most of the condos are occupied by owners. Understandably, some are not, as the owners once lived there, paid the condo off, moved to a better situation, and is now renting the condo out.
Kern goes for a daily run and sees many of the neighbors. One female neighbor that he says hello to engaged him in a conversation and revealed to him that her rent substantially went up (welcome to the United States in 2024) and she can’t afford it anymore and she may have to live in her car to save money and get another apartment.
Kern was shocked. He had no idea she was that close to poverty. She is retired but apparently didn’t save enough money over the years. Older people becoming homeless is one of the fastest growing homeless populations that Kern has read about.
If the rents in California are often $2,000 a month and your Social Security check comes in at about $1,800, what in the world are you going to do?
Possibly live in your car.
His neighbor tends to talk a lot. She has often told him how she sews and makes clothing for many of the community’s children and gives it to them as gifts. It seems important to her that people like her. Certainly that is important to most of us.
Here is the point.
Kern has seen her products and she is actually extremely good at it. Sensational. Which raises a question.
Why hasn’t she built a basic website, paid for the hosting, and sell her wonderful looking clothing products online?
She is very good at it. She keeps showing it to him.
So, Kern made that suggestion to her.
She said she would think about it, which basically means she is going to keep talking about it, but never do anything.
Kern really believes, had she started a website, as incredible as her clothing looks, she could name her price and make sales all over the world. Why?
Because if you see her products, you will like them and you have to pay her price because you can’t go to a local retailer and purchase it. You have to buy it from her. And she could charge a very high sum of money on tailor made items. There is certainly a psychology out there in purchaser land, where the more unique the item is, and the more it costs, the more the person with discretionary income wants it exclusively for their own.
As an example, when it comes to paintings, who can say what they are really worth? From the outside looking in, there is so much hype about them, and exclusivity drives the price up, so much of their value is in the eye of the beholder.
Kern politely kept listening to her sad story but sensed she was never going to really do anything about.
Except talk.
Hopefully you don’t see yourself in her.
You are good at something. You already know that. We have a question for you?
Are you making money at it?
The epitome of a film where someone was good at something, and eventually started making lots of money at it, is The Social Network.
About the real life star.
Mark Zuckerberg is an American businessman and philanthropist.
He co-founded the social media service Facebook, along with his Harvard roommates in 2004, and its parent company Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook, Inc.), of which he is chairman, chief executive officer and controlling shareholder.
In 2007, at age 23, he was the world’s youngest self-made billionaire at the time. He has since used his funds to organize multiple philanthropic endeavors, including the establishment of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
This is the epitome of what happens, when you are good at something, don’t just keep talking about it, but actually you do something about it.
Now to the movie.
You really should watch it.
We have at least five times.
The Social Network is a 2010 American biographical drama film directed by David Fincher and written by Aaron Sorkin, based on the 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich.
It portrays the founding of social networking website Facebook.
It stars Jesse Eisenberg as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, with Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin, Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker, Armie Hammer as Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and Max Minghella as Divya Narendra.
The film premiered at the New York Film Festival on September 24, 2010, and was released theatrically in the United States on October 1, by Sony Pictures Releasing. A major critical and commercial success, the film grossed $224 million on a $40 million budget and was widely acclaimed by critics.
The Social Network has maintained a strong reputation since its initial release, and is commonly cited by critics as one of the best films of the 2010s and 21st century
When we watched the film, we were impressed at how the main character, Mark Zuckerberg, appeared to be very ordinary in most ways. If you walked past him on campus, you probably wouldn’t even notice him. He wasn’t one of the most handsome or charismatic guys on campus but he was good with programming and the powerful use of the computer.
Instead of just talking about it, he did something about it.
We sense you are not only good at something, but very good at it.
Unique to you.
Do you talk to your friends and family about it? If you do, that’s fine. We do have a question for you.
When are you going to do something about it?
