STRATEGIC POSITIONING TO BE A SUPERSTAR
Superstars have to be rightly positioned at what they do. We don’t shine at everything we do, but we do shine at doing something. However great superstars are at doing what they are renowned at, they are deficient at doing what they cannot do.
You have to be rightly positioned at what your strength and desire to become better is at. That’s focus. You focus at the area of your passion and stay put at that even when others are making headway elsewhere. If you stick at what you are doing and the passion is huge, you will get acclaim for it.
It’s not at every place we find ourselves that our talent gets acclaim. You have to find yourself at the right place. You may have passion but that’s not enough, you need the right stage to show off your passion. The effect of singing before a crowd of two hundred persons is different from a crowd of two hundred thousand. However great the crowd of two hundred is, the crowd of two hundred thousand rubbishes it.
The location where one plies his talent can determine how far one goes. Businesses locate themselves in big cities where the right facilities are available to stimulate the business. Superstars get themselves into major cities or locations where there is better opportunity for their talent.
Those who play football in Africa for example earn too little however well they play compare to those in Europe and Asia. Footballers in Africa aim towards getting out to Europe immediately they start at their career. The change is often enormous.
The best talents deserve the best stage. Great football teams such as Barcelona, Manchester united, PSG and the rest pay so much to get the best soccer superstars to their teams. The players also hope to be paid so much for their talents and they make out contract papers for it.
The superstar could be wasting so much time staying at a position where he is not appreciated or gets the right remuneration. You don’t have to be in an environment where your talent is not appreciated or is frustrated. You need the right air where your skills will be appreciated. If where you are isn’t getting you what you want, you can make a shift.
There are opportunities that offer themselves in certain places that will not offer themselves anywhere else. You t need to find the place that will make you shine.
You need the opportunity to develop. Don’t want to be stagnant, as much as you are talented and skillful, you have to find the right place to develop it else it will lie inside you wasting. You need to keep developing what you’ve got inside you. If there is no opportunity for that where you are, you have to look elsewhere.
Look out for opportunities to provide you with higher levels to catch. Your poise must be to go higher, to climb up. If the opportunity you are in isn’t offering you that, quit. Most sporting players hope to play in the biggest and best clubs because there is an opportunity to win trophies and huge pay. It will be mediocrity to choose less when there is an opportunity for better.
In team sports, every player doesn’t play the same role. Each player plays an independent role from the others even though they share a common goal to win. The players play at the role where they know they have capacity for. Superstars find the best position that works for them and they define that position.
If the superstar isn’t at the place where he wants to be, he works towards it. He develops himself to be considered best for the position he wants. The more of what you know in the direction of your goal, the higher chance you will be considered when an opportunity arrives. To become a professor, you have to study more.
Don’t make the mistake of straying away from your center of stardom. Industries locate themselves at the place where they can get raw materials or where the market is available for their products. Consider a superstar fashion designer who is renowned in his home city but decides that he has to move to somewhere bigger where he is unknown. The fashion designer will have to start afresh in the new city but his fame can still reach this new city if he starts with opening an outlet in this city to showcase his style while he keeps his fame in the city where he is known. It is only a matter of time before his fame travels around.
Some persons lose their opportunity when they move out from where they had gotten their renown in the hope of getting a better life. As much as you hope to earn more, please do a comparative study of the new location. Be sure the new environment offers better incentives to foster the increased output that you want to have.
Don’t move until you are sure you can take care of the extrigences that characterizes the move. Every new move comes with its own challenges.
Where you are could be a great place if you look again. We tend to conclude fast about a place when there are opportunities around it that we can tap from. Before you jump out, take time to consider the options around.
Be sure to find the right position. Don’t jump because everyone is talking about a certain location. Go to where you are going because you are convinced that’s the best place to make you the superstar you yearn to be. Get going, locate yourself.
