Personal Development

We've all grown up with one mantra: You're either born talented or not.

When we looked around at the "talented kids" at school, that logic seemed to work. They seemed to be good at drawing, writing, maths and a whole lot of things we were just average at doing:

But what if that logic of "inborn talent" has a lot of holes in it?

• What if what it takes to become talented is remarkably simple? • What if we don't have to struggle with learning a new skill?

It's magical when you realise how you've gotten slightly misplaced advice for so long and that talent is comfortably within your reach.

Most books on learning are written by authors who use some sort of study. The study is done in a test environment with people in the room.

However, the experiences mentioned in Suddenly Talented have been with real clients who've paid to learn skills such as cartooning, watercolours, photography, writing sales letters, storytelling, etc. What also makes this more unique is that the clients are able to leave at any time because the courses are done online. Yet, they choose to stay through the entire course.

To back it up, we've taken the learning from workshops and courses we've done offline.

Hence, all of these concepts are based on real-time, real clients.

• What you'll learn is not only how to become more skilled at learning, but if you need to, you can use these principles to become better at teaching, too. • You will learn how to avoid the 'I'm not talented' mindset and get to 'Doable Greatness'.

Understanding why one person is so very talented and the other is just mediocre at almost everything is the key to "Suddenly Talented".
