Has anyone ever asked you for tips on how to do something and you couldn’t believe they were asking you? There’s a reason for that. You’re extremely good at something that they’re not and they recognize it. The key is to understand how you think, feel, and behave differently than others and then build your business and life around that. This episode discusses the four areas in which you might think, feel and behave. I hope you’ll recognize yourself in one of them.
