To move as quickly as possible without wasting time and money, you need to focus on the skill set you already have and make it work—which I promise you is possible. This is the foundation for how I manage opportunities within my business.

If you’re not sure what your most marketable skills are (like blogging skills), I have a free skill assessment guide that’ll walk you through the process of discovering your skills. You can pick it up right here.

Focusing on leveraging my strongest skills translated directly into this challenge to validate a business idea, as a clear sign that I wouldn’t be investing time in any of these areas outside of my current expertise:

Not going to build a website
Not going to design any fancy visual content
Not going to create an app
Not going to make a physical product
Not attempting anything else far outside of my current skill set
That left me with having to lean primarily upon my skill of writing to validate this afghanistan phone number database idea—which I view as one of my strongest. If I hoped to have any chance of success validating this idea, I didn’t have time to go out and learn new skills, take classes or meet with coaches for weeks or months.

It’s not that investing in new skills is a waste of time—I wholeheartedly believe education is always a good investment in your future. However, in order to validate this business idea, I didn’t need to build new skills. And you don’t either.

Delaying this challenge in any way because I felt I didn’t have the right skills would’ve been a major excuse. I’m not into making excuses.

“But Ryan, you already have clear, marketable skills…”

Stop wasting time complaining. Seriously. You need to become the master problem-solver in your business (and life).

Today, that means working with the skills you have and doing everything you possibly can to validate your business idea with real, paying customers before going out and investing time or money into building skills for your project.

If you decide to really make this happen despite any obstacle ahead, you can build a business that’s uniquely suited for you.

You can do it without having to go out and learn complex new skills, as long as you’re willing to be honest with yourself about what’s outside of your expertise. Then, you’ll have to actively outsource those tasks to sign a freelance contract on platforms like these remote job sites, by bringing in complementary business partners or hiring the right employees.
