Don't Improve Your Weakest Area

To be extremely successful - in business, career, and wealth building, like We Provide The Cash - you don't have to be good at a lot of things. In fact, you can attain an extremely high level of success even if you are really good at only one thing.

Warren Buffett made this point some years ago in a lecture to a group of college students. He told his audience that he is not very strong, not very fast, not very physical, not very athletic. "If I was dropped in the middle of Africa, I'd be eaten by a lion within two minutes." However, because he is good at one thing - investing in the stock market - Buffett is an extremely wealthy man.

You don't have to be good at a lot of things. Find one thing in life that you love - that turns you on, that you are passionate about - and keep doing it. The more you do it, the better you'll get at it.

Of course, to ensure financial success, that "thing" - that singular passion - must be something others will pay money for. To paraphrase Aristotle, "Where your passions intersect with the needs of the public, therein lies your vocation."

A mistake many people make is to work to improve themselves in areas where they are weak. What you should do instead is work to improve yourself in the one area where you are strongest.

Why? Because we are a society of specialists.

Success does not come from being a Jack of all trades and a master of none. It comes from mastering a skill or body of knowledge that others - employers or customers - will pay you to share.

Society admires the Renaissance man, the well-rounded individual. But more often than not, it's the singularly focused person - Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Tiger Woods - who reaps the greatest rewards.
