What Are Your Superpowers?

Comic books have been around for a long time. They are an extremely pop­u­lar form of enter­tain­ment. Why is that?

A well writ­ten comic book has a lot of reflec­tions of soci­ety and life in gen­eral. These char­ac­ter may have super­pow­ers that are beyond human pos­si­bil­ity but they have human weak­ness just like we do. You can be super­man but still have your heart broken.

And they reflect the prob­lems that we deal with on a daily basis. The Hulk for exam­ple has the unstop­pable strength and agility that is unmatched by any mere human or ani­mal. But the Hulk also rep­re­sents uncon­trol­lable rage and anger. Some­thing we face through­out our lives. It would be nice to turn into the Hulk every time some­one ticks you off. Of course then you risk hurt­ing peo­ple and most peo­ple don’t want that on their conscious.

In short super­heroes in comic books may have super­pow­ers but they are just as human as we all are. And we can relate to that. But not only that, the idea of hav­ing super­pow­ers is appeal­ing in itself.

To be able to fly, or turn invis­i­ble, or have great strength is some­thing most think of from time to time. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to do these amaz­ing things?

And What Does This Have To Do With Marketing?

Okay, okay, there is a point to all this I promise. While not as grand as the heroes in these comic books, we all have super­pow­ers too. We all have some­thing that we are good at. We’re talk­ing about tal­ent here. Some­thing that you are bet­ter at doing then any­thing else. Some­thing that clicks with you and “get” right away.

Some peo­ple are great at recruit­ing oth­ers into pro­grams such as MLMs. That is their super­power. Some are great with read­ing and using stats. That is their super­power. I under­stand and can do writ­ing fairly well. That’s my superpower.

We all have some­thing we are good at. The point here is to use your super­pow­ers. Yes, you still need to do other parts of mar­ket­ing and run­ning a busi­ness. But it’s your super­power that will make you shine. This is what you will excel at and what you need to use to work your way towards success.

Let Me Explain a Bit

When I started the whole online thing I got into MLMs. I worked hard and tried for some time to suc­ceed with this path. I thought it was the way to go to make money online. Don’t get me wrong, I know a lot of peo­ple make tons of money with this kind of model. But at the time I thought this was the only way to make money online. So I kept at it even though I’m not very good at recruit­ing peo­ple. To be hon­est I suck at it. Def­i­nitely not my superpower.

Even­tu­ally I real­ized there are many ways to make money online (how blind was I?). I turned to a pas­sion that I’ve always had: writ­ing. I started this blog and since then changed gears. I’m using my super­power. It’s what I’m good at and it’s how I’m going to reach suc­cess. It’s how I’m going to make a liv­ing online.

Even though I made a lit­tle bit with the MLM for­mula, there was no way I would reach suc­cess that way. I can do MLM to a degree, but I can write much bet­ter. And while I’m not mak­ing tons of money and work­ing from home, trav­el­ing when I want, doing pretty much what I want yet, I’ve still had so much more progress and enjoy­ment since I started using my superpower.

What is Your Superpower?

So what are you great at doing? Social Media? Writ­ing? Mak­ing web­sites? Read­ing stats? Cre­at­ing videos? Con­nect­ing with people?

What tal­ents do you have that stick out from the rest? What do you excel at doing? Use that! You can still do all the other things that you need to run your busi­ness, but it’s your super­power that is going to lead the way.
