Episode 9: The Skill She Thought Was ‘Nothing Special’
“What she thought was ordinary… became someone else’s solution.”
Farah was the kind of woman who knew a little about a lot. She wasn’t a “topper” in school or the most confident speaker in meetings. But she could fix small tech issues, design neat PowerPoints, write clear emails, and explain things simply.
For years, she assumed everyone could do what she could.
So, she never charged for it. Never called it a skill.
Until one day, a friend said, “Can I pay you to make my business deck look like yours?”
That moment changed everything.
From ‘Just Helping’ to Real Income
Farah realized her “small help” had real value.
She started listing out her skills:
- Canva design
- Email writing
- Presentation formatting
- Editing product descriptions
- Social media captions
She turned these into micro-services and offered them to small businesses. In one month, she made more than she ever did from her part-time job.
Your Everyday Talent Could Be Someone Else’s Lifesaver
Farah didn’t go viral.
She went visible.
And that made all the difference.
“You don’t need a rare gift to succeed—you need to recognize the one you already have.”
Farah’s Advice to the ‘Normal’ Women Out There:
- Don’t wait to become ‘extraordinary.’ Use your ordinary smartness now.
- What feels easy for you might feel overwhelming to someone else.
- You are more resourceful than you think.
