Today’s conversation was with Kelly Trach who is the author of “P.S. You’re a Genius” which is an unconventional guide to finding your innate gifts (even when you feel like you have none). We got to chat through her journey to becoming an entrepreneur and author along with her framework to help you find what sets you apart in the online business world!

Topics that we covered in today’s podcast:

  1. How to find your “zone of genius” Kelly walks us through the first part of her signature framework (and I highly recommend reading here book which you can find on her website!)
  2. Kelly’s simple exercise to quickly figure out what sets you apart from your competition
  3. Advice for when you feel that a fear of judgment is holding you back
  4. Feeling overwhelmed in business? Here’s one tip to try for better outcomes
  5. How to navigate fear when it crops up in your business with new opportunities

Memorable Moments & Quotes from today’s episode:

1:54 “I believe that when you take your top three to five most innate gifts, and perform a task doing all of them at once, you create this world-class outcome doing something only you can do.”

8:47 “It’s like building a house on the right foundation — having a strong offer is so key and making sure that you are selling something that’s very in alignment with your gifts, that’s easy for you to do, stuff that you’re really uniquely good at.”

9:45 “I like to think that what you like about others is also what you like about yourself. Sometimes the best reflection of your own gifts are the people you really admire and look up to, and it’s like the universe’s way of holding up a mirror to showcase back to what you’re great at.”

Be sure to tune in to the full episode to hear more about finding your zone of genius and combatting your fears of imperfection.
