Episode 31: All You Need Is A 10% Edge

Hello, A:R Nation.

I hope that you are doing well.

I don't say that in passing, I really mean it, and encourage you to take some time to wrestle with your thoughts and feelings.

We have had to deal with much in 2020, and especially here in the US in this last week, it's been emotionally volatile after the murder of George Floyd by police.

I did want to use this episode to continue on from last week's 'unconscious competencies.'

As people continue to find ways to work from home, and figure out life and making money moving forward, I've had the pleasure and opportunity to talk with a few people about their plans.

That conversation often ends up in the person saying that they want to be more ready and prepared before taking action.

I was recently at a private wine tasting event with friends where this came up.

The person leading the tasting was learning the wine business on the side.

At the end, I asked her what her plans were with this, and why she doesn't dive headlong into it, because I think she'd be great at this.

Her response was that she wants to be in a place where, if some more experienced wine professionals asked her a question, she would be able to answer it.

I encouraged her to think about that differently.

Why?

She had a 10% edge over the people that matter most - us, the paying customers.

So if you're thinking about starting your own business, no matter the type, think about in what areas do you have a 10% edge over people in your life.

Please take care of yourself and your loved ones. This is the Adulthood: Revisited Podcast.

Adulthood: Revisited

I dunno about y'all, but in the last few years I've been trying to figure who I am.

I've asked myself who am I as a person, as a man, as a partner in relationship, who am I in business.

I wonder if who I am is really who I want to be

If not, when did it change, and what can I do to tap into who I really want to be.

If you've asked yourself questions like these, then I invite you to join me on this journey, Adulthood: Revisited.
