Think instead of what you cannot do – where you are actually weakest. Why? Because it is the nature of a human to be conscious of what you cannot do rather than on what you can do. This will turn out to be your expertise. Now you may not like it, but take some time to find out what all this means in your life, and you may just find some startling things happening in your life!

A friend of mine has pretty severe MS – now she is doing things to earn a little cash here and there, but nothing special. I suggested a blog about MS, and she said that everybody does it. My response was that nobody had her view, and that her views were not only unique, but that people might prefer her writing style to others. What is more, those people who have MS may want another blog about their subject. Of course they may not, but only time will tell, and in setting up a blog you learn a great deal. Even if you fail, you have learned something and might be onto a better niche!

We don’t have to be a college professor, PHD candidate, scientist or specialist to be expert at something.

The niche I have created is nothing to do with my school education or my work experience. My niche is about the experience I had completely changing my mind and my life. I have expertise in this area because I did it successfully. I reached my goal of sacking my boss.

I know that there are many, many people who would love to have the ability to sack their boss and I know it doesn’t just happen over night. We have to change quite a few things to create a whole new way of living. I can teach these skills to other people. It is marketable. It has come from my own life experience.

If being an ‘expert’ put’s you off, then like I said to Renee, ask yourself what is your expertise? what do you love to do ? can you teach other people what you know? Have a jolly good think tank, ask your friends and family what they think you are good at. Have fun!

Just reading your message I feel the need to say something. You may not like thinking of yourself as an expert, but you do have expertise in a certain area?.

Does everyone do what you do the same way you do it? Has everyone had the same life experiences and training or development as you?

Do you think there are people out there who would like to know what you know? Can anyone teach this information exactly the same way as you do it?.

You have something unique. It’s called expertise.

I have wandered about the whole ‘become an expert’ thing but have been put off because of not really having any qualifications or real expertise in anything so it is an interesting concept to say that it is people’s perception that makes the difference online.

Perhaps one day I too will be considered an expert on something… that would be pretty awesome!
