Today I am going to talk about a concept called "required secondary powers." This comes from the website TV Tropes and a full article can be found here Required Secondary Powers. To sum up, most superpowers you see in the movies, only work if they have other secondary powers to go with it.

For example, let us take the power of super speed. In order to run super fast, you would need super breathing, super heat resistance, super eyesight, and super metabolism. Without all these things your power would become difficult to use at best and deadly at worst.

 Take just one, super speed. In real life, the Australian Tiger beetle is the fastest insect on earth. It can cover about 8 feet in one second. At first, this does not sound that impressive, that is until taking into consideration how tiny they are, less than half an inch long. When you adjust for their size they run the equivalent of 10x faster than the fastest human sprinter. In other words, they are a super speedster. They do not have to worry about air resistance as much because they are so small. However, they do have a vision problem. When they get up to speed they are traveling so fast that their eyes are not capable of receiving enough photons to be able to see clearly. Their vision becomes blurred and they have to stop to correct there course often. They run in short bursts to compensate for there lack of super eyesight.

So let us go ahead and apply this to entrepreneurship. You have now taken the time to find your passion, and you decide to take the leap of faith and start with your new business idea. This becomes your primary "superpower." However, you will need to have and develop some other abilities in order to succeed. Some of these come naturally, some are born of your passion, and some can be developed, but all are needed.

When I first started up I naively thought that because I was good at sales, I would also be good at marketing. Boy was I wrong!

Today I am going to start with a question. Who do you think is the most successful type of person in general. The hard driver who does not care who they step on, or the nice guy?

Well, a professor named Adam Grant did a study on this very topic. You can find an article about it here. In his study, he actually found that in a sense nice guys do finish last, but the hard-driving one does not win either. He found there were three types of people, Operators the aggressive selfish types, Matchers, The general public who do things for others but keep score “I scratch your back you scratch mine” type, and Givers.

There are two opposing principles in business the Peter and the Dilbert principles both addressing the problem of how incompetent people wind up in management. I look at these with my ideas on how to avoid both.

Personality tests are popular for businesses to use when hiring and when working with their teams. This can be controversial as well, as some feel these are just short of astrology. So is there a use for these tests and how far can you trust them?

Never give up. Even if your life has been rough or you are living paycheck to paycheck in a dead end job, it is not too late to change. All you need to do is decide to start. Often we keep doing the same thing day to day and expect and hope for something different. This, of course, is one definition of insanity.

 How old is too late? Well, I can't say. Grandma Moses started painting at the age of 78 and created over 1,500 pieces of art before she died at the age of 101. Colonel Sanders started KFC at the young age of 65, and Samuel L. Jackson was unknown until he was 46  years old. And the list goes on, just google the phrase “famous or successful after 40” for more.

So it is not too late to change your destiny. It does not matter if you are 18 or 88 all you need to do is start. Make the choice to change, and start on the path. It will likely be rough, but the reward is worth it.

One of the biggest differences between a boss and a leader is that leaders are willing to do the dirty work. That is to say, that a true leader is willing to do any task required, no matter how menial that needs to be done. This does not mean they do them all the time, or even need to do them, but are willing to do them. A boss just orders their employees to do it for them.

Why call it an "Origin Story?" and not something else, such as an introduction to, or getting to know, Isaiah. Sure, being my third episode I do want to share with you a bit more about who I am, and where I came from, but that is beside the point. A good origin story gives the why to the who.
