Dan, I'm underestimated by the people around me. How can I deal with that? Well, I'm going to give you

the truth, the real answer, but the truth

is going to hurt. If people underestimate your lot around you, chances are you're not very good

at what you do. There's a great quote out there. It talks about, be so good at what you do,

people cannot ignore you. If people are ignoring you, chances are you're not very good, right? You're a legend in your own mind, you're living in your own bubble that you think you're

so good.

But the truth is, the world is so much bigger.

From my perspective, in my opinion, most of the world, most people out there are average.

So when you're actually good at something, when you're exceptional as something, people know this and it's so rare, it's like a rare commodity.

They're just aren't a lot of exceptional people

or with exceptional talents out there.

So if you do have exceptional talents

and you have exceptional skills,

chances are you will stand out like a sore thumb.

I don't believe that people will underestimate you.

If assuming that it is the case,

then the second issue could be you're very, very good,

and you may be world-class.

I don't think you are, but assuming you are,

then you don't know how to articulate your value.

So it's one thing that you have value

is another thing, how do you articulate the value to the world?
