This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit thetwelfthhouse.substack.comThe doors are open to The North Node until July 6th.Welcome to my gorgeous group of secret Jason Bournes minus the murder (probably!)No, it’s not because you look like Matt Damon (that’s a compliment).It’s because you’re walking around using your valuable knowledge and skills in casual conversations, solving problems for people, giving advice that others would pay consultants thousands for... but you’ve completely forgotten that these abilities are extraordinary (and monetizable, but we’ll get there later)Quick poll: How many of you have ever said 'Oh that? That's just common sense' while someone frantically took notes? Or maybe, “Oh, that’s easy, I’m happy to do that for you. I could do that in my sleep, I can’t charge you!”If yes, you’re in the right spot.And, you’re probably someone who has a LOT of confusion about what to spend your one wild and precious life doing … because you enjoy a LOT of things.Maybe you’re secretly hoping that one day your alarm clock will go off, and you’ll rise out of bed knowing exactly what it is you want to do when you grow up.Or that some mysterious billionaire will message you on LinkedIn with a job offer that allows you to work from home 3-days a week doing [insert something you love doing here] for a cool $500k salary a year.I mean, me too. But while we’re waiting for that golden LinkedIn notification, we might as well save ourselves and start getting paid to do the things we enjoy and are good at.Here’s my perspective:Your career isn't a destination — it's a living, breathing, ever-changing organism. We're not looking for THE answer, but understanding the dynamic assemblage of experiences, skills, and gifts that make up your unique expertise.My goal for this sessionYou'll leave knowing you have expertise. Slay.You’ll have a good high-level map to start figuring out your packaging / pricing / format to bring your offer or business or project into the world.… and while I’m confident you can figure that all out on your own through study and experimentation, The North Node helps you get there faster with less wasted resources.
