I guess I wouldn't say it was successful if a clear-cut path to the proper management or development of my talents were the goal. Still it was interesting to see the things that were repeatedly mentioned. What we do with what we DO know is the key to success perhaps. Incidentally, I think the most obvious answer to what you're damn good at is finances. I think you tend to take it for granted because it is something you enjoy, but it is a gift. The time and effort with study and books alone have given you an enormous advantage over the average joe in regards to how you spend, invest, and makeyour money. Not everyone has the ability to cultivate that interest in money and as a result misses out on the wealth of wisdom gained in the study of things economical. Which leads me to another gift i believe you have and i would bet that you know you have. That is the ability to teach. From the 1st time I've ever had to deal with things requiring financial planning or thinking i've always gone to you for the answer. You're good at putting things in terms that others less learned in finances can understand. THis has to be an essential part of being a quality teacher.... But hey, I've gone on long enough for a damn comment as it is.... best of luck nate. i tried a similar approach to finding my abilities and inclinations.

I (ironically) placed an article on your desk today which was John Maxwell speaking somewhat along these lines. It was from a blog about personal branding.
