Skills Are the Foundation for Any Successful Creative Endeavor
Manage episode 280011622 series 2649068
Skill or talent? Which one do you have, and more importantly, which one do you need to start a great creative business?
By working through several scenarios, we’ll help you begin to assess whether something is a skill or a talent. This is a great exercise to gauge how you think about the difference between the two and the importance of those differences.
In this episode, Nathan and Barrett discuss the mental mindsets that push people to view things as skills and talents, how you can develop your skills, and what role passion plays in all of them.
Also, a special announcement about the future of the show!
Main Takeaways
- Many people chalk up their ability to execute as a skill or talent because of past experience.
- If you shift your mindset, you’ll shift your ability to do things.
- Attributes aren’t the same as skills. They simply make learning a skill easier (or harder).
- Passion follows effort, not the other way around. True passion comes from being dedicated to something long enough to get good at it.
- Parents can model for their children how to be exposed to different things and cultivate their child’s interests.
