Having the confidence to establish yourself as an expert doesn\u2019t always come easy, particularly for the more humble among us. But to build your profile, and make the difference that most entrepreneurs want to in business, it\u2019s what you need to do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To give you a little more confidence that what you have to say is of value, here are four truths to accept when positioning yourself as an expert.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. It\u2019s a matter of opinion<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Becoming an expert isn\u2019t just about what you do or how you do it \u2013 it\u2019s about what you know, and what you think. Put forward your opinions, derive conclusions based on your experiences and share your passion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your opinion and experiences will help you bring a different perspective to the information you share.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. What you know is NOT common sense<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is one of the biggest hurdles you need to overcome in your own mind. We each have skills, strengths and specialties. While something may be easy, or seem like common sense to you, it doesn\u2019t mean it will be the same for others.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chances are you have studied, researched, serviced customers, learnt lessons, overcome challenges, had wins, sought counsel and grown in experience to know what you know now. For this reason, most people will never have the distinct skills, knowledge and perspective you do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. You don\u2019t need to know everything<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need to know as much as others in your industry \u2013 you only need to know how to package it better. There will always be someone who knows more than you, but that doesn\u2019t mean what you have to say is of any less value!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Consider that you might be able to package up your knowledge in a way that is more relatable, easier to understand, or more profitable to a customer. Your explanation might just be what they need to take action, get the breakthrough they are after and achieve the result they want.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Everything has NOT been said<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is a lot of information out there \u2013 and a lot of experts, but that doesn\u2019t mean everything that needs to be said, has been said yet. Times, needs and challenges change and consumers will always want the latest tips, hacks and facts.<\/p>\n
