Youngpreneur's Podcast With Victor Ahipene

What is an expert or authority? Too often we are scared to call ourselves an expert or authority in a matter. The more confident you are in being ‘The expert’ the more others will believe it when you are speaking. I find it helpful to reframe your mindset around it by applying the 80/20 rule. That is what areas of life do you think you would know more than 8/10 people walking down the road. Take a Doctor or Physio for example. People come to see them for their EXPERTISE….but when asked if they are an expert often they shy away from the term. They think of the top 1% of people in their industry as experts. Even though they know more about their profession than likely 99% of the population who aren’t qualified. Sure you can become an expert of the experts but if you wait for that you are potentially doing a disservice to those out there that you can benefit with your current level of skills. I am not saying fake it and position yourself in something you have no right being in. Just don’t ever undersell yourself
