Some people are intrinsically social … others are intrinsically thoughtful.You can’t change these proclivities and you shouldn’t try. Instead, you need to discover them and make use of them. I have known extremely successful people whose only talent was in socializing.

But socializing won’t make you rich … strategic networking will.

Likewise, Rich Schefren and I are intrinsically thoughtful. But thoughtfulness won’t get you rich … strategic thinking will.

• Step One: Discover your hidden talent.
• Step Two: Unleash it.
• Step Three: Direct it.
