7 Income-Generating Skills That Will Set You Free
One of my readers recently asked: “I like the idea of building a career based on strengths and skills. What are good income-generating skills to acquire?”
That’s one of the best questions I’ve come across. Generating more value in the marketplace is crucial, and the best way to do that is by acquiring valuable skills.
But what are skills that are valuable to organizations? Many skills are useful, but 7 skills produce income because they instantly impact an organization's bottom line. Here they are.
1. Persuading
Persuasion is the #1 income-generating skill I can think of. And that’s probably not a surprise to you. If you’ve read enough articles on personal growth or listened to enough interviews with successful people, you know that persuasion is everything.
You constantly pitch your ideas and yourself. In fact, I’m persuading right now. Persuasion is not always a negative trait. People are merely opposed to being sold. I’m not different in any way.
But true selling is nothing more than problem-solving. A lot of people assume you become better at sales by selling. But I learned that you become better if you learn more about human psychology and why people buy.
