How many times have you said, “I can’t, because I ___” (fill in the blank with the reason for failure you use most often)?

What if the very reason you use to anticipate failure could be turned into your ticket to success?

Let’s take an example. Maybe you are shy, and are not a “people person”. You read a little about creating an online business and you hear that networking is important. You think, “Uh-oh, I can’t do that, because I’m shy and I’m not a people person”. Do you know what that really means? That means you are an expert on shyness and troubles associated with connecting with people.

What happens when you become an expert on something? You then have the ability to share your expertise with others.

What happens when you share your expertise? You have the makings of a successful online business, because guess what people want from their online experience? They want information. And whatever “failure” you are an expert at, you can be assured that there are likely millions of others who want information about that very topic, and they will be searching for your take on it. You don’t have to have a degree in your failure. You just need plenty of experience with it, and I’d bet you have lots to say about it. Anything you don’t know, you can find out and share.

So, from now on, any time you start to say, “I can’t, because I ____”, stop and think about that failure reason that you just uttered. Think about all the other people who might want more information about that “failure”. Then consider giving it to them.
