I remember as a little girl, running from the upstairs to the basement on a daily where my father would always hang out. The basement was his playground – where he let all his creativity run wild. 

I remember seeing everything from the pool table to the music equipment, computer parts, and the yellow book of how-tos “for dummies”.

Computers were just becoming this new thing (I feel like my parents right now and their back in the day stories 🥴) and he wanted to be one of the ones that knew about them before everyone else.

He wanted to know what made them work the way they did, what was inside of them, and how did it know how to do exactly what we wanted it to do with the click of a button. I see exactly where I get it from.

I watched him discover all of this on his own. Back then there was no Google or YouTube University (again with the age). He didn’t learn what he knew from a teacher or from the leading experts in the industry. He learned how to build and repair computers from a book.

I was 5 years old with my own computer and my father taught me all about technology. He was so sure that this was going to be the next BIG thing… and he was right.

I remember going to school and showing the teachers how to do things on the computer- 😆!

Who knew this would come full circle and I’d still be “teaching” people how to do things from the computer. 

I also remember creating Powerpoint presentations as book reports and wondered why teachers always thought it was so spectacular. I had no idea then it was because I knew how to do something that they either didn’t know how to do or was probably just learning how to do it. 

So as you can tell, I kind of developed an interest in technology as a child, but I didn’t really know what that meant for me until after years of spending money on college courses that had nothing to do with technology or computers. Hey, we live and we learn right!?

When I started my business in 2016, I found out that I was super interested in learning how to find the missing pieces businesses were missing with their back-end systems.

I wanted to figure out ways that I can create a process for someone’s business using technology and do things that people weren’t really interested in or really didn’t know how to do, but it was super easy for me to figure out – because it always has been. I just didn’t know it.

Almost 30 years later, that little 5 year old girl sitting on her dad’s lap as she watched him build and create things reminded me exactly what I’m the best in the world at.

I’m the best in the world at learning, finding out what pieces to put together, how to make it strategically work, and how to share what I know to help others.

It’s what I love to do and maybe there wasn’t a college course that could have taught me that. Maybe it was the School of Life (or Hard Knocks as Jay Z. says) that I had to learn from to really place me at this exact point in my life so that I can show up for those that are struggling with the very thing that I can support them with.

“You are exactly where you need to be.” 

God definitely works in mysterious ways.

Share with me below what it is that you love to do and why you love to do it. What is it that makes you the best in the world?

We’re all the best in the world at something because everyone has a unique gift, a unique talent, or some type of experience or story that only you have been through.

Whatever it is that you have decided to do and to BE, you are the best in the world at it.

Whatever it is, you are 1 of 1, love. Don’t forget to show up like it!
