Discover Your Superpowers
Better Entrepreneur Blueprint
Phase 1: Foundations
Session 3: Discover Your Superpowers
Most entrepreneurs start by trying to fix their weaknesses.
They buy courses on productivity, try to hack their confidence, read books about discipline, and create elaborate plans to “finally get organised.”
And while there’s nothing wrong with wanting to improve, there is something profoundly inefficient about building a business around who you’re not - instead of who you already are.
Your best shot at building something meaningful, profitable and sustainable is by starting with your strengths.
The things that come easily to you but seem difficult to others.
The skills you downplay because they feel too natural to be valuable.
The odd combinations of traits you’ve picked up over the years that make you unusually good at something (even if you can’t quite name it yet).
These are your entrepreneurial superpowers.
They’re probably hiding in plain sight.
Why most people miss theirs
Because schools reward uniformity. Because employers reward conformity. Because even business books tell you to model other people’s formulas instead of helping you discover your own edge.
But your edge - the thing that will make you unforgettable, magnetic and in demand - comes from leaning fully into your superpowers.
When I finally gave up trying to be some slick, high-performance productivity robot, and leaned fully into storytelling, teaching, simplifying, connecting dots, and mentoring - everything got easier.
Clients came more naturally. Offers got simpler. Content became fun to create again. Because I was no longer swimming upstream.
Find your unfair advantage
If you’re not sure what your superpowers are, here are a few prompts:
What do people thank you for?
What do people pay you for?
What drains others but energises you?
What did you get in trouble for as a child that now helps you in business?
What do you do better than most people without even trying?
Your superpowers aren’t always big and loud. Sometimes they’re subtle. Quiet. They reveal themselves in the margins.
But they’re always powerful - because they let you operate in your zone of least resistance. And that’s where momentum lives.
Today’s Action
Grab a blank page and make three lists:
Things I’m good at
Things I enjoy doing
Things people ask me for help with
Look for the overlaps. That’s where your edge lives.
Then ask yourself:
“How can I build more of this into the way I show up in business?”
Because the better entrepreneur doesn’t try to become someone else.
They learn to trust who they already are - and turn it into a business that fits them like a glove.
