Back to EpisodesEp 141 Building a Legacy with Your Unique Skills and Talents
Description
Welcome to my takeaway from episode 140, my conversation with Jan Ditchfield. Here is a recap of the three key discussion points from my conversation with Jan.
1️⃣ Uncover Your Unique Difference
2️⃣ Embrace the "boring" aspects of business
3️⃣ Legacy Fulfillment
If your unique talent is something that truly excites you, seek to channel your gift in your career, in a business, or in a volunteer role. If using your unique gift in a serving capacity is your preference, you do NOT have to apologize for this!
Jan’s point - which I wholeheartedly embrace - is to seek legacy fulfillment. As Jan points out, I talk about seeking to be 80% fulfilled. What I mean by this is that we have five main pillars over 40. They are health, fitness, career, relationships, and legacy. Jan says that most of her clients, who are women entrepreneurs, are empty in the legacy bucket. If you are fulfilled in four out of the five buckets, you’re 80% fulfilled and you’re doing great!
The other key discussion point from my conversation with Jan Ditchfield on episode 140 is to embrace the messy middle of systems and processes. I encourage you to think of this both literally and metaphorically.
My challenge to you is this…Do you know your unique gift, skill, talent, or expertise? If you do, are you leaning into it for legacy fulfillment? If you aren’t, do you have people in your life who can help you understand your unique gift so that you can lean into it? And, when you lean into it, are you willing to embrace the messy middle as necessary to make you better?
