What Micro-skills & Micro-niches Are and How I'm Using Them to Boost My Growth
I read an article by Michael Simmons, and was inspired, so here's a summary of what micro-skills are.
A micro-skill is a subset of a fundamental skill.
A fundamental skill is something like writing. Writing can be broken up into many parts.
Smart people save themselves a lot of time by doubling down on learning valuable micro-skills quickly. Micro-skills are both valuable and rare.
Michael Simmons wrote about micro-skills in his article about the 100 hour rule and it has inspired me to approach learning with a strategy that is bound to make me successful faster.
My writing and entrepreneurial tendencies
Learning a micro-skill is important because it allows you to enter a micro-niche. A micro-niche is a segment of a topic or market that has very little competition. This makes growth easier. Entrepreneurs and content creators alike use micro-skills to grow more rapidly.
My goal is to find a micro-niche and absolutely dominate it by writing high quality content. Eventually, I want to start my own business, and I will be developing micro-skills to progress me toward that goal.
I wanted to present this idea to all today since it has inspired me, and I hope it inspires you too.
