“When you follow your natural genius, life becomes a joy. But if you focus on your weaknesses, everything becomes hard work.” Roger Hamilton. In this Untamed Perspective we talk about the importance of finding your genius and how to do it.

Audio Transcript:

Picture the scene, I’m in a hotel conference room attending a two day business accelerator/conference type thing in Perth Australia.

I’m there because at this point, I’m running an engineering business and really not loving it too much. 

I was working in an office five days a week - something I never thought I would do; I’m responsible for - amongst other things - creating reports, reading contracts, following documentation procedures and analysing figures.

As I write these words, knowing everything I know about myself, it’s pretty damn obvious why I wasn’t energised on a daily basis. Back then however, I was far less aware of who I was, what I was good at, what I was shit at and where I should focus my efforts. 

Unaware of these things, I did what many of us do, I judged myself for the stuff I COULDN’T do, or didn’t like doing.

Consciously I was getting used to the idea that this is what being an adult was all about. Settling for something that paid the bills and allowed me to buy a house.

Subconsciously however, I was yearning for something more. Desperate to design and live a life that excited the hell out of me, and rekindled my spirit of adventure and freedom.

But where the hell to start?

That weekend in the conference room changed everything. I took a profiling test and it opened my eyes to what elements I needed in my life to maximise my strengths and live my potential.

I was no longer a shit manager because I didn’t like details and got bored easily. I was an energetic entrepreneur who saw the big picture and excelled at short tasks.

I learnt to focus on my gifts and mitigate my weaknesses.

I became aware that for every task I hated, there was someone out there who loved it, and could do it better than me.

These realisations were life changing. And now I want to share them with you.

What Genius Are YOU?

The test I took that weekend was called Talent Dynamics. It costs $97 online and comes with a very detailed report. 

*As a side note, the test and subsequent debrief is free for all Untamed coaching clients*

Today I want to share the FREE version of the test, called The Genius Test. 

In a few short questions, you may learn more about yourself than ever before and set yourself on the path to leveraging your strengths and living an inspired life.

Watch the video, take the test and let us know your findings. We’d love to hear from you.

Before you take it, here are some wise words from the creator himself Roger Hamilton
