5 KEY SKILLS to succeed in today’s world!

I want to share with you five key skills that will help you succeed in today's world!

Here are the five most valuable essential skills that I believe will help you succeed in life and achieve your goals quickly.

I'm not talking about technical skills like programming, artificial intelligence, data science, etc. I'm focusing on more soft skills that you don't need to attend college or have 10-15 years of experience. By the way, you'll never guess the skill number 5.

Communication skills might not surprise anyone since almost everyone talks about this as the most important skill today. Communication isn't just about being able to speak; I'm talking about presentation skills, the ability to present ideas clearly in front of an audience, not fearing public speaking, and being able to express your thoughts eloquently and diplomatically.

This also includes being Comfortable & Confident In Front of the Camera, leadership skills, public speaking skills - all these I consider part of one big skill, communication. Even Warren Buffett highlighted this skill as the most crucial in today's world.

Regarding creating video content, it's one of the most popular trends. You've probably seen how people with good presentation and content creation skills get millions of followers by making shorts, reels and TikToks in just few months. Then, brands and sponsors contact them for collaborations and advertising opportunities.

Number 2 is Negotiation skills, and here I recommend the book "Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In" by Roger Fisher. Then you hear the word negotiation you might image an office, a big table, people in suits negotiating something. But I'm talking about not just business negotiations but everyday ones.

For example, if your landlord decides to increase your rental fee by 30%, how do you handle it? You'd prefer to keep things as they are or at least negotiate a smaller increase, without moving out. How do you talk to the landlord and persuade them not to raise the rent so much? This is where negotiation skills come into play, helping you make informed decisions and reach an agreement.

Every day, you're negotiating with your spouse, kids, parents, friends, with colleagues, bosses, etc. Negotiation skills help you persuade people or at least reach a compromise.

Most people believe that Sales skills are for entrepreneurs, marketers, and others involved in business. The goal of any business is to make money by selling something. The better your sales skills, the more money you'll make.

For employees, whether you're an engineer or a doctor, most might think this doesn't apply to them if they don't own a business. But the job market is also a market where you sell yourself as a specialist. Why does one engineer with 10 years of experience earn significantly more than another with the same experience? Because one engineer used to learn a lot, get professional certifications, created an effective resume, and sold himself to a good company at a good salary. A resume is your marketing tool. Developing these sales skills will help you advance your career.

Skill number 4 is Financial management or financial literacy is also a popular trend worldwide, including stocks, options, cryptocurrencies, and many other financial tools. Financial literacy is a broad concept that encompasses understanding and effectively using various financial skills, including personal financial management, budgeting, and investing. As the world becomes increasingly digital, the importance of being financially literate has never been more critical.

The rise of cryptocurrencies and other digital financial tools has added a new layer to financial literacy. Understanding blockchain technology, the risks and benefits of investing in cryptocurrencies, and how these assets fit into a diversified investment portfolio are all part of modern financial literacy. Critical thinking, decision making, and problem solving are key elements of financial success.

Skill number 5 is the ability to attract investments, I’m sure no one could guess it. This skill can help you create your own company or startup, even without a penny in your pocket. Most people used to complain that they don't have enough money to start a business, and then life just passes them by.

I know a young guy who started making reels and TikTok videos. And because of his good communication skills, he got over 100,000 followers in just two months. Investors noticed him, and after he shared his idea in a video, they started offering to invest in his idea. This shows how these skills can change your life.

So guys, developing these various skills, not just one, is essential. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow, and the more skills you have, the more invincible you'll be. Emotional intelligence, soft skills, and the ability to work with others will be critical no matter where you go. Good luck.
