Description:

Do you do something very well, get recognition and rewards for it but feel very burned out and dead when you practice it?  You may suffer the curse of competence, a deadly trap for aspiring entrepreneurs. 

This episode discusses how to avoid starting a business based on a skill or ability you are burned out on.  It can seem the easy path to money, but often leads to real frustration and apathy.

Some strategies discussed:

  1. Disconnect the ability from the job description
  2. Create a personal development plan to give yourself time to learn new skills
  3. Consider a mix of "curse of competence" and new skills to kick-start your business
