Let me put you in a job that fully taps into that.
And convincing people to take a job that they're going to hate is just setting them back.
Exactly.
And when we talk about working genius, that third that you said is your genius, where you get joy and energy, you can do that work
for 12 hours sometimes and have energy still.
You're like, I've gone home and my wife said, well, you got a lot of energy.
I said, I just spent 10 hours ideating invention and discernment.
I could do that all day.
When I was a bank teller and sometimes in my current job, if I'm doing the things I'm terrible at, that's not good.
So the way we like to explain it is your working genius is like a Yeti mug that you pour coffee into and screw the lid on.
It can stay hot all day.
You're going to burn yourself on that if you open it up five hours later and drink out of it.
The middle two, you're working competency, we call it, are the two geniuses that they don't really feed you, but you can do it for a while.
It's not horrible.
That's like pouring coffee into a cup like this and putting a lid on it.
You're working frustrations.
The bottom two are pouring coffee into a cup that has a hole in the bottom.
It leaks through.
It drains you of joy and energy.
If you don't know what your working geniuses, competencies, and frustrations are, how in the world can you go to a job interview and promote yourself and know when to go, oh no, this wouldn't be good for me or for you?
