You’re already an expert

If you think you’re not an expert in something, you are probably wrong.

A simple concept may convince you: I call it the ladder of expertise.

Many view Experts as separate from Novices. Like Gods floating in the clouds. They are the only ones suited to educate.

Instead, I propose to view expertise as a ladder: At every rung, there are people above and below. Expertise as a continuum.

Those you initially identify as experts eventually become equals. Later, they may become your students.

At any given time, there are novices right below you. Many are eager to follow in your footsteps.

The challenges you’ve recently overcome feel simple, in retrospect. But they didn’t seem that way before.

Share your experience with the world, no matter where you are on the ladder! It can be way more helpful to others than you realize.
