I know it was horrific to watch, confusing, was this the same guy that has the girl, the money, the jet… seeing the guy throw like Darla from the Little Rascals was brutal. More breaking news, she did not marry him for his blazing fastball or hip hair style.You don't put out a new book titled "Think big and kick ass" by sweating the small stuff.

LeBron James makes $20,000,000 dollars a year playing basketball for Cleveland and you don’t. He’s really good at it! I am going to take a wild guess and say he might not be the world’s best web designer, painter or engineer but he has 20 million reasons to not stress out about his weaknesses when he looks in the mirror every morning. What is stressing you out?

Forget your weaknesses. Someone can do it better and cheaper and you are wasting your time, money and energy trying to improve what you are just not very good at. Be honest.

Headline, “Bill Gates can’t dunk"

Remember your strengths. Intellectual property (“IP”) licensing is exploding around the world. You have years of valuable IP locked up inside your head and trapped inside your business that needs to be unleashed, licensed and annuitized.

The market will gladly pay a fat premium for your strengths, don’t forget LeBron!

Apple did not get where they are today by keeping their strengths buried under a mountain of weakness.

“1,000 songs in your pocket” they are good at marketing.

Turn over your iPod “designed in California, made in China” they outsource their manufacturing weakness, but kept their design and engineering strengths.

Do you have strengths?

Do you have weaknesses?

Are you honest?

Are you a rebel?

If you can answer yes to all four, you are already on the road to enlightenment grasshopper, just move toward the light.

“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times”

-Bruce Lee

Would you really like to get kicked in the groceries by Bruce Lee? Imagine that feeling next time you are tempted to waste your bandwidth on stuff that you are never going to be very good at.

“When the opponent expands, I contract. When he contracts, I expand and when there is an opportunity, I do not hit. It hits all by itself”.

-Bruce Lee Enter the Dragon

License your strengths, outsource your weaknesses- Be the Dragon!

I have worked for Lehman Brothers in California, a mutual fund company in Taiwan, owned a seat on the Singapore Futures Exchange and was trading in the Euro pit 20 feet away from Nick Leeson when he decided 1.3 Billion was too much to take and skipped town to Malaysia and broke Barings Bank. I have built two companies from scratch and sold them and now I help entrepreneurs expand their brands by outsourcing their weaknesses and licensing their strengths to others. Our company Big Exports and this blog exists to infuse the spirit, theory and science of great licensing to a global audience of creative business minds. I also speak Chinese. Dream big, thanks for stopping by.
