New job skill: you

One standard piece of advice is to learn job skills to get a job. Some natural tendencies don’t seem to translate to traditional job skills, and mentors may push these tendencies aside.

I think people should take time to explore their natural tendencies, and see what they can produce after nurturing for awhile.

As an example, let’s say I fancy myself an idea person. Typically, you might think of this as a cop-out, but there can be merit in it. If you take ideas and flesh them put into a strong presentation with a polished sales pitch, it is possible to sell royalties on it.

While this advice may come late for some people, you can go ahead and start nurturing now. If you enjoying, it is good for the soul. If it can pay the bills, bully for you!
