Hector had always been known as a great shoemaker. In fact, customers from such far off places as France claimed that Hector made the best shoes in the world. Yet for years, he had been frustrated with his small shoemaking business. Although Hector knew he was capable of making hundreds of shoes per week, he was averaging just 30 pairs. When a friend asked him why Hector explained that while he was great at producing shoes, he was a poor salesman. I was terrible when it came to collecting payments. Yet he spent most of his time working in these areas of weakness. So Hector's friend introduced him to Sergio, a natural salesman and marketer just as Hector was known for his craftsmanship. Sergio could close deals and sell given the way their strengths complemented one another. Hector and Sergio decided to work together. A year later, the strengths based duo was producing, selling and collecting payment for more than 100 pairs of shoes per week. A more than three fold increase. While this story may seem simplistic, in many cases, aligning yourself with the right task can be this easy when we are able to put most of our energy into developing our natural talents. Extraordinary room for growth exists. So a revision to the you can be anything you want to be maxim might be more accurate. You cannot be anything you want to be, but you can be a lot more of who you already are.
