Yeah. Beautiful. Welcome back to She's Beyond Elevated. This episode is called the$100,000 skill you're sitting on right now. And I wanted to start with something that might shift how you see yourself immediately. Right? You are not lacking skill, right? You are underestimating what comes naturally to you. Because the things that feel easy to us are often the things that other people struggle with. Most people think high income comes from more degrees, more certifications, more training. But what if I actually told you that the skill that could generate a hundred thousand dollars plus for you is something you're already doing naturally without thinking about it. The reason that you don't see it is because it's familiar, familiarity. You dismiss it because it's just something I do. Everyone knows how to do this. But let me let you in on a secret. Everyone doesn't know how to do it. That's why it's your gift. They don't know how to do it, and that is where you monetize the gifts and the skills that you have. What's obvious to you is valuable to someone else, and the market doesn't pay you for what's hard for you, it pays you for what's hard for them. When you meet your ideal client at their level of pain, they compensate you for being able to remove that pain, being able to remove those roadblocks, being able to bridge gaps that they haven't been able to bridge for themselves. That is your monetizable skill. A hundred thousand dollar skill is not random, it usually does one of three things. It either helps people make money, it helps people save time, or it helps people solve a painful problem. Now, when you start thinking about how do you monetize your skill set, I want you to think of those three things. Either how am I helping someone make money? How am I helping someone save time? Or how am I helping someone solve a painful problem? If what you do touches one of those three areas, you're actually closer to$100,000 than you may think. Beautiful, stay with me because when we come back, I'm going to help you identify your$100,000 skill in real time. Don't leave. Say right here. Before we get into today's episode, let me share something with you that I use personally in my business. Today's episode is sponsored by Go High Level. And yes, I am a proud affiliate because I don't recommend anything that I don't use myself. If you're a coach, consultant, service-based entrepreneur who's tired of juggling five, six, seven different platforms to try to efficiently run your business, then Go High Level is for you. Go High Level helps you centralize your systems, CRMs, emails, text messaging, calls, um, calendars, webinars, even automation, all in one place. For me, time freedom is non-negotiable. Legacy doesn't require burnout. And Go High Level helps me build a business that works with my life and not against it. If you want to explore for yourself, you can learn more by using the affiliate link in the show notes. Now let's get back to the elevation. Now I want you to think about this. What do people constantly come to you for? Not once, not twice, but consistently come to you to help them with. Do they ask you, how did you do that? Or can you help me with this? Or can you actually show me how you arrived at that number? If that or those are questions that you actually answered for people that you helped, that's your first clue. Your hundred thousand dollar skill is usually most often hidden in your patterns. Now, here's where most people get stuck. Okay, so rinse and repeat is what I say all the time. Taking that process, step one, two, three, four, five, and no matter what situation, if you apply it to a similar situation, you're able to do step one, two, three, four, five and come out with an outcome, a process, a framework, a method. Um, or or with your secret sauce on it. Because people don't just buy results, they buy clarity. They want to know that when you solve this problem for them, this is something that they can apply in other areas, this is something that they can apply in similar situations, this is something that they can tell their friends about, and they still all come to the same outcome. They buy clarity. Now, I don't want you to miss this next part because this is where your skill turns into income. We'll be right back. Beautiful. If this episode spoke to you, I don't want you to stop here. I'm inviting you inside my five-day wealth beyond work challenge where we take everything you've been sitting on and turn it into strategy, clarity, and a real movement. This isn't motivation, this is activation. And over the five days, I'm going to walk you through how to identify what you already have, position it for value, and start building income without adding more to your plate. If you're tired of overthinking, if you're ready to stop sitting on your true potential and you know that there's actually more for you, this is your next step. You can join us by using the link in the show notes. Come ready, come focused, come beyond elevated, where expertise becomes wealth. Positioning is everything, right? You can have a powerful skill and still be overlooked if you don't position it correctly. Positioning answers these questions. Who is this really for? Right? What problem does it solve? And why should I trust you to help me solve this problem? Now that's positioning. Some people refer to it as your personal brand, all of the things, but that is positioning the offer that you actually make to someone. This is where visibility and messaging and confidence all come into one. It's your position, your what where you are positioned as a brand, your personal brand positioning. Because if people don't understand your value, they won't pay for it. Simple as that. They don't care about any of that. What they want to know is I have this issue. Can you help me solve this issue as quickly and efficiently as possible so that I don't have to deal with it anymore? Think of things like DoorDash, right? And Uber Eats. 20 years ago, we never would have thought about calling someone else to pick up our food. We never would have thought about it. But guess what? As a society, we wanted someone who could be quick. We didn't have to leave our house. We could go and get what we wanted to eat, and they would deliver it to our door. So it solved the problem. And they are million and billion dollar industries now. So I want you to be the next million billion dollar industry. So let's be real. It's not that you lack skill, it's doubt, it's overthinking, it's waiting until it's perfect. You keep thinking to yourself, I need one more certification. I let me just get who am I to be able to help them? I need more experience. I've only done this 15 times or so. I need more time to develop this or craft this thing. No, you don't. You don't. What you need is to decide that what you already have is valuable because the minute you see that, people will see it as well. If you do not believe you bring value to them subconsciously, that is what you communicate, and consciously, you will repel clients, you will repel additional money because you don't see the value in it. Now, I want you to sit with this for a moment. And you do that thing and you start to develop it. Your gifts will make room for you. No matter the gift, it will make room for you. That is the reason we were given the gift. Well, beautiful, you're not starting from scratch. You're starting from experience, you're starting from degrees, you're starting from work in progress, you're starting from results achieved. If this episode shifted your perspective, share it with the woman who is sitting on value she hasn't claimed yet. So until next time, you weren't born to blend in. You were born to break ceilings, break out of boxes, and break generational curses. Stay bold, stay brilliant, stay beyond elevated, where expertise becomes wealth. Until next time. How beautiful. Thank you for tuning in to She's Beyond Elevated with Dr. Kimberly Dunlap. If this episode spoke to your soul, share it with another woman ready to rise. Remember, elevation isn't a destination, it's a decision. Keep shining, keep walking in purpose, and I'll see you in the next episode.
