Finding your niche – the sweet spot

We are all born with the capacity to do things we are naturally good at

In today’s world you need a lot of skills sets I didn’t get a chance to hone in the first 45 years of my life

You are only as good as the people you surround yourself. When I came back to the farm I discovered I wasn’t very good at milking cows and that was OK because we had plenty of people who were.

When I started a charity, I didn’t have a team of people and I had to learn a lot of stuff. Stuff I didn’t enjoy very much.

After 2o years of spending a great deal of time doing stuff that doesn’t come naturally, I am determined to spend the rest of my life doing the stuff that does.

Looking forward to finding that niche

Your niche is that absolute sweet spot where what you are fabulous that overlaps with what you love doing, and it is something that other people value and will pay you for.

It is not a simple thing to define…and many professionals fall into the trap of doing what all the other professionals do, and doing it the way they do it, simply because it LOOKS successful and that is “how things are done”.  Too little thought is given to  defining what success is to us personally.  So we spend a lot of time making a living the way other people do, and believe that is “successful”.
