Do You Have To Become An Expert To Be Successful | Kingsley Grant | Episode TML164


Listen Later

Do you feel like you can’t be of help to others because you need to become an expert to help them?
Do you feel like you don’t know enough to teach others?
Do these feelings keep you stuck? Paralyzed?
If you answered yes to one or more of those questions, this article is for you. You will discover that you may have a picture in your mind of an expert that is not serving you well.
That’s how I’ve felt on numerous occasions before I got started. I felt that I had to become an expert in my field or no one would want to learn from me.

As a matter of fact, I felt like an imposter. I felt that very soon after I begin to teach, I would be “outed” and that would be the end of it. It was my fear talking to me and was paralyzing me.
I’m in no way suggesting that I’m now over it and no longer have those feelings. I recently did an episode on how I felt stuck and what I did when that happened.
In this episode I debunked what an expert does, who an expert is and how you can start doing something today because you know enough to get started.
The late Zig Ziglar used to say:
“You don’t have to be great to start but you have to start to be great.”
The subtopics that are discussed in this episode are:

* Who is an expert?
* What do “experts” do?
* Roadblocks to doing?
* How to get started before being an “expert.”
* And much more…

You will find a blog article that covers more about this topic here.

“You don’t have to have an audience to teach nor do you have to be an expert. You’ll grow your audience and be seen as an expert BY teaching.” ~ Sean McCabe
