What’s your superpower — And how can you use it to develop a business?

What exactly is an entrepreneurial superpower?

So how can you, as a founder, identify your superpower?

• Create a list of everything anyone has said you are good at, or do well professionally or even personally. These could be things they admire about you or have said you should sell as a service.
• If you cannot be objective about your own strengths, ask your colleagues, friends and family members, who will be honest and whose opinions you trust. These people will give you objective feedback about your strengths — often, the things you take for granted, others can see very clearly.

• Make a list of all the things you love, and have loved, doing. Include every task or project you have done that brought you satisfaction, fulfillment and joy.
• Note all the skills and areas of expertise that were needed for each item you listed. Review these skills, highlighting those that show up often or are similar in nature. If one skill or ability does not stand out from the others, assess the top three and note which ones come easiest to you, which you enjoy the most and which hold the most value for you and for others, to figure out your core superpower.

Once you know what your core superpower is, you must figure out what to do with it and how you can use it to your advantage.
