Being average at many things is your superpower

Be a Nick fury.

2025 is here.

This is your chance.

No more waiting. No more dreaming. Make this year a year of action.

If you ever need help moving forward, my team and I will be here for you. Send us an email. Tell us your problems, your dreams, and what you want to achieve.

We’ll be happy to make 2025 your new beginning.

For years, I felt like I was falling behind. While my friends were becoming experts in their fields, I was just... okay at lots of things.

Social media? Decent. Writing? Not bad. Sales? Getting there. Design? Good enough. But nothing that would make anyone say "wow."

You know what everyone preaches: "Be the best at one thing." "Master your craft." "Focus on your specialty."

But here's what I discovered after talking to dozens of successful entrepreneurs and creators. Being a jack-of-all-trades isn't a curse – it's a hidden advantage in today's world.

Let me share something that changed my perspective. Last year, I met a guy who built a 7-figure business not because he was exceptional at anything, but because he understood enough about everything. He could talk to developers, write his own copy, understand basic design, and close deals. Not an expert in any, but competent in all.

That's when it hit me.

While specialists are fighting for the same narrow opportunities, generalists are creating completely new ones by connecting dots others can't even see.

Think about it. Most real-world problems don't need a genius – they need someone who can see the whole picture. When I started my business, being "just okay" at multiple things meant I could:

  • Build my own website (saved thousands)

  • Write my own content (authentic voice)

  • Handle basic accounting (better financial control)

  • Manage social media (direct connection with customers)

  • Negotiate with suppliers (no middleman needed)

Each skill alone? Average. But combined? They create something unique. Something valuable. Something that's hard to replicate.

The world is full of specialists. But who connects them? Who translates between them? Who sees the opportunities between the specialties? That's where we generalists shine.

You're not unfocused. You're not indecisive. You're building a unique skill stack that nobody else has. Every "average" skill you add multiplies your value, it doesn't just add to it.

Nick Fury assembled the Avengers. He has no superpowers but he has a gang of superheroes at his service, and no one for a second, doubted his capabilities.

So stop feeling bad about not being the best at one thing. Start seeing how your combination of skills makes you irreplaceable. Because in a world of specialists, being a competent generalist might just be the most valuable specialty of all.

From one average-at-many-things person to another – your diverse interests aren't a weakness. They're your superpower. Use them.

And remember, the next time someone tells you to focus on one thing, ask yourself:

Would you rather be the best player on the field, or the only one who knows how to run the whole game?
