Your Core Genius

At TakeONE Technology, we believe true success comes from working within your core genius. Some people have a head for numbers, while others are out-of-the-box thinkers. These two people, who are perfectly happy in those areas and get great joy out of the work they do would have a gear-grinding frustration if they suddenly switched places. That tends to be how people treat their internet presence. Instead of clearly stating their vision and then hiring someone who can bring that vision to reality, they will burn time and energy trying to do it themselves.

At TakeONE Technology, we work within our core genius to deliver economical, effective websites and internet applications so you can spend your time and energy on pursuing your passion.

I think my friend Jack Canfield said it best:

I believe you have inside of you a core genius… some one thing that you love to do, and do so well, that you hardly feel like doing anything else. It’s effortless for you and a whole lot of fun. And if you could make money doing it, you’d make it your lifetime’s work.

In most cases, your Core Genius is directly tied to your passions and life-purpose.

Successful people believe this, too. That’s why they put their core genius first. They focus on it—and delegate everything else to other people on their team.

The “What.” Not the “How.”

Author Tim Ferriss, in his book The 4-hour Work Week, stresses that delegation is one of the keys to freeing up time for you to follow your vision and your passion. Tim suggests that this can be done with mundane business tasks like emails. I suggest that it can also be done with your website. Under your close supervision, TakeONE can create a site that lives up to your expectations and allows you to keep your eyes and your mind on what you want to accomplish, and not how you’re going to do it.
