Most people go through life never realizing what they’re truly exceptional at. They spend decades trying to fix weaknesses instead of leveraging their natural talents. They compare themselves to others and come up short. They feel lost and uncertain about what makes them special.
I shared a simple but powerful prompt in a LinkedIn post that helps entrepreneurs discover their unique talents. Here are the surprising results and how you can use this insight to accelerate your success.
You need an edge to stand out: find it with ChatGPT
Standing out isn’t optional anymore. With millions of founders, business leaders and consultants competing for attention, knowing your unique edge is essential. Stop focusing on the wrong things. Instead of trying to master every skill, become world-class at one thing.
The traditional approach is flawed. Career assessments give you broad categories that apply to thousands of others. Generic advice like “follow your passion” leaves you more confused.
If you’ve used ChatGPT for a while, it will have collected memories and insights from your past interactions. Use this prompt in ChatGPT and get instant clarity about your specific, unique contribution to the world.
“Everybody is the best in the world at something. Using everything you know about me, tell me what I am the best in the world at. Explain it in one short and hard-hitting sentence presented as if I was proudly announcing the news.”
Once you have your answer, put it through its paces. Here’s how to find your hidden superpowers:
How to uncover your hidden superpowers: 5 key steps
Look for patterns in feedback
When Curtis Matsko, CEO of Portland Leather Goods, tried the ChatGPT prompt, he learned: “Ladies and gentlemen, it’s official. I’m the undisputed world champion of breaking things fast, rebuilding them better, and making the entire process look like a damn good adventure.” His reaction? “Funny or overwhelming… idk.”
ChatGPT revelations might match feedback you’ve received throughout your life. Have a think and connect the dots. Carina Cunha, revenue and growth strategist, discovered: “I am the world’s best at turning ambitious founders into unstoppable selling, pitching, and networking powerhouses, because no one else fuses strategy, psychology, and sheer impact like I do.” After the prompt’s response comes the real thinking.
Test it in real situations
Once you’ve identified your potential superpower, test it in the real world. See if using it creates better results. Carol Griffiths, sales improvement specialist, learned from ChatGPT: “I am the best in the world at transforming complex B2B sales challenges into simple, predictable, and profit-boosting solutions that sales leaders and CEOs can actually use!”
Your superpower creates real results when applied. The true test is whether it helps others achieve their goals faster and better than other approaches. Get the theory then investigate it fully.
Combine multiple strengths
For Hannah Hagon, CEO at Unplugged Tots, her unique advantage came from combining multiple strengths: “I am officially the world’s most unstoppable force in bringing unplugged play to the global stage – revolutionising early childhood education, shaping the tech pipeline of tomorrow, and proving that the future starts without a screen!”
The most powerful superpowers often exist where multiple skills, backgrounds, or perspectives meet. That’s where true originality lives. Your ChatGPT history will find this intersection. Don’t overlook where your worlds collide.
Own it proudly
Dr. Madeleine Ballard, founder of CHIC, learned: “I am the best in the world at empowering community health workers to become powerful advocates for their own cause, transforming them from excluded voices to household names in global health discussions.”
Owning your superpower means getting comfortable talking about what makes you exceptional. This isn’t showing off or selling out. It’s the clarity that helps the right people find you. Whatever your result from the prompt, consider that it’s true. Edit until you’re happy that it represents your talents, then wear it like a badge of honour.
Ask the right questions
AI tools aside, the simplest way to discover your superpower is to ask someone who sees you objectively. This question cuts through your blind spots and shows strengths you might take for granted. What feels easy to you might be nearly impossible for others. That’s your advantage.
Don’t choose just anyone to ask. Pick a good friend, a trusted colleague. Someone who wants the best for you, and wants you to be your best. Someone who is happy being them, because they won’t feel threatened or try to bring you down a few pegs.
“I’m asking you this because I trust you to give me an honest answer. What’s a superpower you believe I have that I’m not fully using?”
Turn your superpower into progress with ChatGPT
Once you’ve identified your unique talent, do something with it. Redesign your work around the things that make you, you. Spend more time doing what you do better than anyone else. Find problems that specifically require your superpower to solve. Build a team that covers your weaknesses while letting you double down on your strengths. Create systems that let you scale your superpower beyond your personal time and energy. Tell stories that highlight your unique ability in action. And of course, ask a friend.
Don’t try to be good at everything. Become exceptional at one thing and build your career around it. Know what makes you special and play to this strength.
