To me, a “Genius” is someone that has Capabilities applied in a way that produces a Result. With my group Genius Network®, I think of something my friend, and Founder of Strategic Coach, Dan Sullivan, said: “A Genius Network Is An Ever Expanding System Of Increasing Cooperation & Creativity Among Unique Ability Achievers.“
I think everyone has Genius in some area. For some people it could be Intellectual Genius. Others it’s Spiritual Genius. Some people it’s Emotional Genius, and others it’s Physical Genius. The ability to integrate related Capabilities and Skills to produce a Result is key.
Now, in order to HAVE a Genius Network, you have to BE a Genius Networker, and you have DO Genius Networking. Something I’ve said many times is, “Any problem in the world can be solved with the right Genius Network.”
I believe anyone producing results in the world in collaboration with other individuals can be a Genius. Having said all of this, there are incredibly capable people in the world, and they don’t have a Capability Problem; They have a Character Problem. Someone can be driven, skilled, persuasive, and an amazing Marketer, and simultaneously be an Opportunist, exploiting people in win-lose situations, or cosmetically disguising themselves as a “good-doer” when in reality they are a “do-gooder”.
So, I look at the end RESULT. Genius is for people that create Results.
