In this episode, #1 Bestselling Author and Highly Acclaimed business & Entrepreneur Expert, Mel Abraham answers a question about how to figure out what your gifts are and what you should be doing. So today, we deal with The Greatness Framework that helps you pin-point where your greatness actually lies and the things that you should be focusing your energy on to have the greatest impact and fulfillment.

The Greatness Framework

• Understand what your talents and skills are. To really find your greatness, discover the level of uniqueness that you can take to the marketplace. You might have accumulated your talents or the things that you are good at from school, with education, by reading and researching, or from your life experiences and mistakes. The things that you are good at can be in areas like design, technology or just anything else. These are the skills that even other people know that you are good at and they come looking for you when they need that specific talent. This is what you are going to monetize in the future.
• Identify the opportunity where you can use your talents to serve, shift and make a difference. The intersection of your skill and the opportunity to impact positively is called your Niche, and it is imperative that you identify the niche that you can serve with excellence. So, marry and match your special abilities with the opportunities that might exist out there.
• Next, you should have the action and discipline which is the over-arching beam that brings together everything mentioned above. Today, those who have the ability to make a tremendous impact are lacking in success because they are missing this special ingredient. So, in order to bring success and cash flow into your game, you must have the discipline to work countless hours, and sweat blood and tears, and finally find the success that you are seeking for.

Also, identify the intersection between your skills and the action which is Development—where you grow with what you already know by putting it into use. Similarly, the marriage between discipline and opportunity is Monetization—where you find the ability to have an impact and create a lucrative gig.

Finally, the sole focal point that everything intersects in is where your greatness lies. It is the union of: Talents/Skills, Opportunities, and Action & Discipline.
