The Hedgehog concept consists of 3 circles. When applying to a person the three questions are:
1) What are you deeply passionate about?
2) What were genetically encoded to do?
3) What drives your economic engine?
Each one of use are genetically encoded with talents and skills. We were created with the ability excel in one area. What can you do very well - what are you a natural at?
What are you passionate about - of all the things you could do what excites you the most.
Given your answer to 1 and 2 can you make money doing so?
Where you genetically encoded to be a system administrator?
Are you extremely passionate about being a system's administrator?
Can you create a revenue stream doing so?

I'm not sure about my hedgehog but after listening to some of those
recordings and watchin all the videos on the webpage you forwarded to
me I would say that I enjoy teaching people what I know; whether it be
about Linux or anything else in my mind. But I need to know much more
to make any money at it. I enjoy working with computers but I got
stupid in college and decided to study machining. I wanted to work
programming computer controlled machines. However, I can't do that
because the head injury screwed up my hand-eye coordination and I
needed to work as an entry-level machinist and work my way up to the
programming. A machinist needs good hand-eye coordination. Then got a
job as a cable tech and I am good at installing cable outlets and
phone jacks and ethernet outlets. And people do pay me for that but I
can't do it for a company because the head injury prevents me from
working quickly in that field. With that kind of job the more you do
the more you make (piece rate). After I got fired from my last cable
job I was working on the side with one of the techs helping him out
and he couldn't believe how good I was with the customers we were
working for. I love working with the public. Maybe I could do
something like customer service or relations from my phone.

I would start by determining what your personal hedgehog is

This is used for business or personal.
We were created with a purpose. That means we are good at
somethings and not so good at somethings. If you can answer the 3
questions that make up the hedgehog concept you will be well on the
road to knowing what you should do.

This isn't needed right away so if someone would be willing to
train
me I could do that. I am smart (though my Linux from Scratch
adventures may seem to indicate otherwise) I just need to be
trained.
I am a good lil' monkey!

from
Florida to Peru as opposed tho $800 from Phoenix to Peru <if I'm
lucky>). My skills are very limited. I had a head injury in '84
and, as a result, am now on disability. Being on SSDI means I can
not make more than $1089 so, as you can see, I don't need to make
much. Can anyone ask me what I need to say to provide needed
information?
