Winning in life requires you to solve a given problem. And those who are problem solvers are the ones who have their pockets filled with cash.
Nothing brings a man to the place of honour like solving a given problem. Joseph in the Bible became a ruler in Egypt because he had the solution to the farming issue in Egypt.
When you find any problem, what should come to your mind is how to solve that problem. In life, you can only move to your next level if you keep solving any problems that come your way.
To solve any given problem, you need knowledge in that area. Also you need the skill and the necessary training to compliment it. What will give you an edge over others is your years of experience in that area of specialization which is coupled with your deep understanding and desired passion for that area of endeavour.
In as much as you have the talent, you need to have the right training and also keep updating yourself in that area of your endeavour. And also, make sure in time to come, you are an authority in whatever you do. The money might not come in as expected but just hold on and keep working.
In other to keep it going, you need to be nice and let everyone that comes in contact with you be able to build trust around you. Do have a good relationship with your contacts because this is what is so necessary to give you the needed connection to expand your contact.
When you keep doing what you know how to do best, then, for sure, you will keep winning all the way.
