A lot of us believe that if we're not "naturally" good at something, we can't do it--a notion that can completely stand in the way of us achieving our goals.

But, Keith Ferrazzi, co-author of the bestseller Never Eat Alone, and CEO of Ferrazzi Greenlight, says that even if you’re not extraordinary at something, he guarantees you can get better than you currently are.

"If you recognize that a certain skill is important to your life and your success you can get better," he insists.

In order to do that, Ferrazzi advises that you continue doing exactly what you've already been doing: just take it a few steps farther.

"You don't have to become someone else to improve things in your life," he emphasizes. "Just figure out what you want to achieve in life, then determine who you need to be hangin’ out with and what you need to do to get that stuff done!"
