 Here's the six different kinds of work the first one the first working genius is called wonder Okay, most people don't even think this is a working genius This is up at 50,000 feet by the way And this is somebody that loves to naturally my wife does this loves to sit around and ponder things and think about things and ask Questions like why are things like that? Is this really the best it can be? Is there another way to do this that is an absolute genius? God gave some people the ability to be great at that and other people never do it Johnny's blushing That per hour conversation before this guy had started I was talking about a lot of questions that I was pondering as of lately through out the last few years Because that is the natural state that I'm constantly and asking questions Looking for answers pondering it in my own life And I'll go out on a run and then I will come back by AJ. I got I got some ideas. I got to run by Yeah, I gotta be sitting down for this I'm gonna tell you something I was walking out of the house today We she and I were exercising and praying and talking and I was walking out of the room and she goes Oh, wait, wait. Hey, I have a question for you and I said hey Is this one of those wonder things because if it is probably do it later because I gotta go She was like, yeah, it is and so we okay. We'll talk about it later Because you're not always in the right time to wonder But it's critical in every activity. It's also okay to say okay I can set my wonder aside for a moment my favorite one Which is the second genius which is called invention There are people who wake up every morning and love to come up with new ideas Even if it's not necessary That's what I do And it's it's a god-given talent and it's not more important than the others people think that inventors are gene Everybody's a genius, but I like to come up with new ideas And so I have a ton of them and anytime somebody comes to me with a problem I love to solve it and I love to do it in some unique Novel way and I like not having a lot of context. It's like, hey, let me just take a shot at that So invention is really important and these first two wonder and invention are what's called ideation This is where new ideas come from. So that's the first two Wonder and invention, but you can't stop there because after invention comes the next one, which is called discernment This is people that have good gut feel instincts intuition. They're good at pattern recognition and what you call integrative thinking It's not based on expertise specific knowledge or data. They just have a good gut Tracy a woman in our office who I've worked with forever She said even as a child people would come to her and ask her for advice And my wife will say to me it I'll say to my wife. Hey, should we write refinance our home? Or do you think we should go on vacation here? Or do you think this looks good at what I'm wearing and she'll say the same thing no matter what I ask her Ask Tracy Tracy has great instincts And everybody knows it and it's one of those skills It's a it's a true talent when an inventor comes up with a new idea You take it to somebody with great discernment and they're they can immediately look at it and go I think this is really great. This is really promising or Oh, my gut tells me there's a whole bunch of problems here and they are good at giving feedback and vetting an idea And helping tweak it. And so the inventor and the discerner talk back and forth Well, if you don't know that's your skill We had a guy write to us and say I thought my wife didn't like me and we were like what and he goes I'm really mean it. He laughed. He goes he because we finally talked to me said I thought she kind of hated me We're like why he goes I come up with new ideas all the time and every time I do She tells me what's wrong with it. I thought she was just trying to Bust my you know, whatever on their anniversary. They took the assessment She was a discerner. He was an inventor And she said no, that's how I help you honey And he was like so you don't you just don't want to crush my dreams He goes no I want to make sure that would actually work And he said that's the day they went from thinking we were working against each other To we were actually just doing what we're naturally best at after that comes galvanizing. That's some people love this I don't and I was doing this almost every day at work. And that's how this whole thing came about I was frustrated because every day I'd come in work ready to invent and I was constantly galvanizing Galvanizing is people who wake up in the morning and love to rally the troops keep them pushed forward Keep inspiring them reminding them. Hey, let's do it. Come on. We can do it now I can do it once maybe twice, but I don't love doing it I like to move on to the next thing and there are people there are galvanizers out there that just love that process And it is an absolute inherent god-given genius And some and it's like their best thing in the world to do one man's trash is another man's treasure galvanizing Those middle two we call activation. That's how you take the ideation and figure out Is this the right thing and how do we get people on board? The last two are called implementation and that is the next genius is Enablement now. I know people we struggled with this word because people said well, that sounds like drug addiction or alcoholism We're like no enabling somebody to do something good is really good And there's some people that are naturally good at hearing somebody say I really want to do this and they say Ooh, let me help you. What do you need? How can I be of assistance to you? It's not because they're nice It's not because they're easily manipulated people that have enablement as a genius tend to think well It's not a genius. I'm just helpful. It's like no no no Some people wake up every morning and say if somebody would just ask me to help them I would be the happiest person in the world. Let me know what you need and I will do it I'll probably do a little bit more I'll look around the corner for you and I'll anticipate your needs and they just naturally do it now I should say this though Everybody has to do things they don't love sometimes so sometimes I just got to stand in the corner and do What she asked me to do None of us get to go to work or be at home and do things that we don't love But we don't want to put ourselves in a position to do it a lot We certainly don't want to be in a position to live in our frustrations because that leads to burn out Really difficult things in life And god did not make us to be miserable in our work or in our lives. He gave us talent so we could use them It's wonderful and they're all needed They're all needed. So the last the last genius is beyond enablement It's one thing to want to help people. It's another thing to want to finish things. This is called tenacity I haven't have none of this. These are people that wake up in the morning and say, please let me finish something I want to push through obstacles. I want to wrestle things to the ground I want to prove that it can be done and I want to make I want to do it on time. I want to meet the standards I want to say yes We finished so it goes like this wonder at a high level asking the question invention solving the problem in a unique way discernment Evaluating it and making sure it's right galvanizing getting people on board enabling coming alongside and helping and tenacity finishing There is not a project in the world doesn't need all of those things All human beings have talents that are necessary Find out what they are so you can do the things you're meant to do and your success and your joy Will be greater than ever
