What's a talent that the world is better without and why

"Being on time," "hard work/work ethic," and "doing extra" were popular 10 Things that Require No Talent categories. It's been up at my gym for a while and serves as a daily reminder (along with my "be able to do pistol squats"—but let's not focus on that...) that not everything requires talent or skill.

Though ugly, hard work doesn't require talent. Unpleasant. Trying harder isn't.

The British and Irish Lions used this strategy against the All Blacks in 2017. The Lions thought they had a blueprint to beat the All Blacks, but many teams and coaches have failed. Reasons why the All Blacks rule all sports.

A holistic strategy and player-centered game plan helped the Lions draw a famous series. They used 10 Things that Require No Talent throughout the tour. gaming.

This became "be the best in the world at things that require no talent". Such a simple, effective tool. Coachability, hard work, and the right approach don't require the best team or resources. Everyone commits, and the team/business rises.

Although extreme, this has precedent. Avis famously battled Hertz.

This concept empowers teams and enterprises. In business, we often say "we can't compete because they're bigger than us... they have more resources... they're better connected etc." These are valid reasons, but someone will always be quicker, better, and wealthier.

Simon Sinek's renowned TedTalk compares the Wright brothers' hardships to build their aeroplane to Samuel Langley's better finance, resources, and support. He says their why made them successful. I promise this drive was powered by a work capacity that helped them succeed—a determination to do more.

Talent isn't everything. I've seen salespeople with great training, induction, systems, and processes underperform "non-sales" personnel. Basic differences:

  • Work-hunger
  • Interest in learning
  • "Whatever it takes" mindset
  • This happens in all fields. 

Elite athletes have them.
